THE YOGA HOUR TEAM COMMENTS: In Part Two of this interview with Acharya Shunya, we learned more about the Goddess Durga and how Durga’s goddess powers apply to our own lives today. I loved how Acharya teaches us that the Goddess Lakshmi is said to bestow grace on us that makes our lives so much easier. She says Lakshmi bears auspicious tidings with a wealth of cheerfulness and a sense of peace with what we have and with our relationships. The Goddess Sarasvati represents the freeing of knowledge, feminine intuition, artistic inspiration, music and spiritual insights. There is so much more to learn about how we can embrace these goddess qualities in our life and live a life that is worthy of us.
DR. TRUJILLO’S COMMENTS: I really appreciate Acharya Shunya’s deep knowledge of the Vedas and how she tells us that qualties of the goddesses are who we are as women. We just need to recognize these strengths in ourselves. In Part 2, Acharya Shunya shared the importance of understanding and embodying the goddesses within, particularly at this complex time in our world as we come out of the pandemic and face challenges of climate change, concerns about racial equality and other conflicts. We discussed Rosa Parks as displaying Durga energy when she refused to give up her seat on the bus. We also discussed Lakshmi, goddess of prosperity, and Sarasvati, goddess of wisdom.
