The Cycle of the Nine Shaktis

Siddha Tantra Initiation

Initiation by Acharya Ishwaranand

The Cycle of the Nine Shaktis is a guided process within the Siddha Tantra tradition,

led by Acharya Ishwaranand.

The cycle unfolds through nine successive stages, centered on purification at different levels of the human being, the awakening and transformation of Shakti, and finally the return of energy to its source —

stillness and peace.

Through practice, participants learn to directly experience the relationship between consciousness and energy, as well as the different forces and qualities of the Nine Shaktis.

The initiation opens a continuing path of practice and study.
