An Introduction

Shakti Kriya stems from its ancient Sanskrit translation of Shakti meaning 'power' and Kriya translating to 'process'. In other words, Shakti Kriya is a power process in, which spiritual empowerment is given back to the individual.

As an initiative of spiritual empowerment, Shakti Kriya exercises a guided direction for self-sufficiency. The process births out of an intention to revert back to genuine spiritual healing and astrological practices. In a time where many are losing trust in spiritual energy, practitioners and healers, Shakti Kriya allows people to claim their inner spiritual power and become their own healers. It is not uncommon for many to search outside of themselves to so-called astrologers and "religious experts", while looking for answers in their personal lives. Essentially, our society has lost the belief in themselves. As stated by Chamunda Swami-Ji, everyone contains the power to heal -- to tap into the innate energy that creates worlds. There is the potential to rework our lives, design a new life blueprint, and place the power within our control. Shakti Kriya guides and directs each of us in this shift. With over 50 years in the making, from his guru's disciplines coupled with personal experience, Chamunda Swami-Ji now compiles wisdoms for those seeking this experience.

Shakti Kriya and Prayer

In terms of spiritual connection, most of us want a confirmation of God, oftentimes through prayer. When prayers are performed incorrectly, however, the energy is scattered, and we are misguided. Shakti Kriya provides an understanding and a balance of energy such that the prayer for God, or specific gods, is one-pointed. A stable, solidified connection is built. Prayers, rituals and meditation will move away from muddled energy and towards one of clarity and ease. Devotees of Shiva will connect the right energy to Shiva, while Devotees of Maa Kali will learn to properly pray to Maa Kali, and so on. The right alignment is crucial in prayer.

Power and Balance

Additionally, Shakti Kriya trains us to manifest our inner most intentions as reality. This does not imply that we renounce the world and become secluded monks immersed solely in spiritual life. Rather, the approach is to balance physical and spiritual worlds. Success in the physical world does not imply failure in the spiritual world-- neither does spiritual enlightenment imply physical unworthiness. Balance connotes simultaneous spiritual and physical enhancement with the right intention and manifestation.

The core of Shakti Kriya is to delve into the roots of our consciousness in working slowly and steadily realize it to its true potential.

The Community

Shakti Kriya is tailored for all individuals regardless of religion, cast, country or beliefs. Developing spiritual energy is a personal, pure experience, and not limited to any type of person. Each of us become a self-healer, empowering ourselves-- not depending on any outside force to create an internal change. Shakti Kriya lends guidance to those who look for self-sufficiency through highlighting personal talents and strengths. The process activates the Shakti within us, independent of an external circumstances.

Just as health problems are at times hereditary, so too are our spiritual misalignments. Families can pass down incorrect interpretations, understandings, beliefs and mindsets. Like doctors who treat inherited diseases, Shakti Kriya works to heal skewed practices and intentions.

The Practice

Shakti Kriya's work is primarily delivered through events and materials. In group events, mass meditation is featured along with group chanting, spiritual dialogue and mantra recitation. In addition to a group mantra, all those in attendance will receive a personalized mantra. For events featuring Chamunda Swami-Ji, each attendee will meet with Swami-Ji, and be ascribed a personalized mantra. Furthermore, events lead by certified Shakti Kriya teachers will also bestow individual mantras for those present for at-home practice. All who become part of the Shakti Kriya community will receive materials, including DVDs and media files every three months to enhance sacred practices.

We extend a warm welcome to you and your family in joining us towards overall personal empowerment, and spiritual independence. We look forward to hearing your experiences with Shakti Kriya.
