Srividya literally means auspicious knowledge. These teachings originated thousands of years ago during the golden period of the Vedic age. The principles of Srividya are very relevant to modern times.
There is an immense power that lies untapped within every individual. The human body is an offshoot of the universal creative energy or the Divine Mother principle. The science of Srividya helps us realize the all pervading power of the Universal Mother within whose main quality is supreme love and bliss.
By understanding the true self through the teachings of Srividya, life automatically becomes disciplined and there is freedom from miseries and sorrows. Life is gratefully accepted as is and the realization dawns that there is no difference between the individual and the all pervading universal energy.
There are many aspects to this science including knowledge of traditional rituals and the understanding of their inner significance. Every step of Srividya has a deeper meaning, ultimately geared towards liberation from the never ending cycles of birth and rebirth, joys and sorrows. Srividya teaches us that change has to come from within the individual instead of expecting that to happen in the external world. Srividya seamlessly integrates ancient dharmic (virtuous) principles with the modern way of life.
The transformation obtained through the practice of Srividya benefits not just the individual but also the society by enhancing universal qualities of unconditional love, gratitude to Mother Nature and forgiveness in all human beings.
