They say you teach what you most need to learn, and Shakti Durga has been teaching and learning about relationships for over 30 years. Whether it’s the relationship you have with the vulnerable part of self that needs nurturing, or with your spouse, family, work colleagues, money, or with the Infinite Source of all, Shakti Durga has helped thousands of people to blaze through obstacles, heal conflict harmoniously, and find more love than they ever thought possible.
After a failed marriage Shakti Durga turned to meditation, as well as personal and spiritual development, to help manage stress and depression. Not only did she recover and attain a new level of personal, relationship and business success, she became an avid student of great spiritual masters. She travelled extensively to be in their presence, learning and growing and accessing bliss as well as tools from the Ancient Universal Wisdom. She has found light of transformation through various traditions including the Vedas, Mantra, Western mysteries, Angels, Sacred Music, Kaballah, Taoism, Christianity and Buddhism.
Shakti Durga’s journey has been so deep that she has been recognised as a Swami (Guru) in India, because she has embodied the capacity to ignite the spirit of herself and others. Being labelled a Guru caused her some consternation, as Shakti Durga is all about activating personal empowerment, and the narrative around the Guru in the West has been negative.
Shakti Durga has sought to modernize the idea of a spiritual master, keeping the love and blazing fire of transformation it entails, while bringing in Western concepts of positive psychology, energy healing and personal accountability. Self-empowerment becomes faster and more pervasive when we are in the presence of a living master who can help us empower change, illuminate the mind, open the heart, feed our spirit and soul. She shares principles to keep in mind when working with any powerhouse of spiritual energy.
After a long and profound journey encompassing Western and Eastern spiritual practices, and having cultivated the skill of making complex spiritual teachings simple and easy to use in practice, she says that the advanced class in spirituality is still being grounded in our every-day life and relationships. This is the area that continues to fascinate her and in which she focusses to help people achieve more love as well as other objectives in life.
