Dr. Kavitha Chinnaiyan talks about her latest book Shakti Rising: Embracing Shadow and Light on the Goddess Path to Wholeness.

Can the wisdom of the Mahavidyas, goddesses who represent the light and the shadows within us, be relevant to our ordinary life? Drawing on her own search for the highest truth, a respected cardiologist invites readers to explore just how this ancient knowledge of the divine feminine can be applied to our own lives and our spiritual search.

The ten forms of Shakti known as the Mahavidyas represent not only macrocosmic forces such as time and space but also various interconnected shadow and light aspects of our psyche. The Mahavidyas have traditionally been steeped in esoteric and mystical descriptions, often removed from the practicalities of the spiritual journey.
