About Me:

Am a cofounder of the Mahavidya School project in South India.

The children are our future, our hope, and it is up to us to ensure we are ready to help usher them into a new age which is ready for their brilliance and capacity to love unconditionally as has not been witnessed on this planet since time immemorial. This impressive and deeply moving endeavor (The Mahavidya Girl's School), born of pure love, becomes just such a way to help us make that a reality for them…and for us.

These beautiful little girls who will attend the school when it opens in July 2010 have often been abandoned by their families - some simply because they were born female. These young “goddesses” were born into the caste structure where they are labeled as "Dalits" and are thus also considered and/or known as being “Untouchables”. This issue brings to the fore of awareness the imperative to help them find their power, their beauty, their divinity and to educate them so that these children will grow as empowered souls who may freely choose to generate a ripple of their own creation; designed from the depths of their great beauty and divinity all within the area in which they live. This act (the rippling out of a change in awareness with such empowerment) alone can create great shifts in awareness for others and aid in raising the vibration of that particular area of the world; it is the heartfelt belief that the re-establishment of the Divine Feminine Energies can help recreate balance. ***Please be aware that there are also young boys who attend the Mahavidya School.


“The Mahavidya Girls School intends to allow young girls to gain the tools and confidence to bless their families and communities with the Grace and Love of the Divine Mother, as Living Goddesses. For when a Mother is divine, the home is heaven. There they will receive an education that is nurturing for their body, mind and spirit. In addition to receiving a modern education, these young girls will receive an education in traditional Indian culture, so that these girls will be able to advance the future of their communities while still embracing the rich traditions of the past.”

The Mahavidya School for Girls of South India is located in Killankulam village, Periayur Taluk, Madurai District of Tamil Nadu, South India.

A Bit of Some of Indian Tradition and Belief and How it Relates to the School: The Mahavidya Girls School has derived its name from the Hindu traditional belief system of the mahavidyas who are known as the “Wisdom Goddesses”. (Maha means “great” and Vidya means “knowledge”). The focus of the mahavidyas is the assertion of femininity in Indian thought. These “Wisdom Goddesses”, numbered ten, represent the ten directions from which Paravati (Shiva’s lover) blocked his passage after an argument so he could not leave as was his intention; he was not listening to Paravati. She decided to split herself into these ten individual parts as separate goddesses each of who represent a part of what is deemed “the essential truths”. In taking this action (splitting herself into ten individual goddesses), Paravati ensured he (Shiva) was not only aware of the eternal love they shared but, most importantly, she established what is now the underpinning belief in India that the goddess (feminine) is a tremendous power, even greater in many ways than the god (male) in Hindu tradition. These ten goddesses ultimately represent spiritual enlightenment and the human desire to achieve their understanding thus acquiring “mahavidya” (great knowledge or wisdom) which is part of the path to self-actualization and realization.
