IMSCON


International Mission for Shakti Consciousness (IMSCON) pioneered by Ma Shakti Devpriya is yet another initiative from Sacred Association dedicated to the empowerment of women from all walks of life with special focus on rural women. Every woman is a living Goddess in true sense. And IMSCON is about invoking the goddess ‘Shakti’ in every woman by providing them encouragement, support and the much needed platform for showcasing their achievements.


There are various programs run under IMSCON. Ma Shakti Devpriya personally visits various Rural areas and tries to talk and find out the problems and predicaments of women. She gives them easy and affordable solutions too. She has traveled a lot in Central India visiting various villages. Time to time various workshops are also held for teaching meditation and yog asanas specially for women. Ma Shakti Devpriya feels that Woman is the back bone of every house, so encouraging and strengthening a woman, will help the whole family grow and advance. In Urban areas women are given free computer education and taught simple works like sewing. 

IMSCON is continuously working for betterment of society by supporting and encouraging woman. If you find any situation where our intervention will help, we will be happy to know about it. 

Workshops of Shakti Tantra also come under IMSCON. Ma Shakti Devpriya strongly believes that every woman has a potential to grow spiritually and only a spiritually sound woman can support a family in a nourishing and progressing way.

Experience Shakti in you!

Every women is an embodiment of divine Shakti.
We may not realize the immense potential we carry within us. The Divine Mother in all her sacred forms and insights is guiding us continuously. But still we feel the disconnect so many times in our life. Many times we feel that there is a miss of divine flow and expression in our life. It is the time, when we start thinking of our self as very normal and not an embodiment of the divine energy. I have met many women who tell me "I don't believe I have any connection with divine" which clearly means they are not AWARE of the divine sacred energies flowing through them.

Many women also come to me and ask "How can I experience the presence of Divine Sacred energy flowing in my life." The only reason that you are not experiencing love, peace, divinity and sacredness in our life is that we are allowing it. You are not feeling the connection because you are not trying to make the connection. You are holding yourself back.

The first step is to "Let go"
                                      To break the barriers, the mental barriers that hold you and cage you in your own mental image. Mind is very busy all the time 24x7 it is busy, chattering and chattering. It  is not having time to think about anything else but just Worry about petty issues. "Let go" your worries, disappointments and negative thinking for once and let the divine energy flow within you. Let go everything that holds you back, the more you cling to it, the more stronger and influential it will become. Why not let the divine influence our life? Let go your need to be busy always. It is always good to make priorities in your life and work according to them. This will save you from spending energy unnecessarily on various not so important things. "I am busy taking my nap or sleeping" also comes here. This "Let go" exercise is to relax you and your continuously working  nerves. Say often to yourself "Relax" and "Let go"


"Getting Aware"
                             As you start to let go, you will find yourself free from many disturbances and influences. Your mind is now ready to accept divine intervention and plan in your life. You have found a better and calm state of mind. You are able to now focus on connecting. You mind has learned to let go and accept. Now is the time to get aware, of the divine play in your life.

The feminine energy within you is a continuous reminder of presence of Divine Mother. The women is a dynamic form of energy, as Shakti that is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that move through the entire universe. Shakti is present in both male and females, but here I am talking to females, letting them experience the Power of Shakti within them.

Sit in a comfortable position. Place your palms in front of each other at the level of your heart. Move them clockwise for few seconds and now start moving them anticlockwise for other few seconds. You will feel a formation of an energy ball between your palms. Mentally pray to this energy to move into your heart,  filling your heart with loving and compassionate energies. Feel the energy ball moving behind your heart. Now as you exhale and inhale, feel as you are breathing from your heart. Inhale the energy from the energy ball and exhale from the front of your heart. Recognize that your are inhaling and exhaling Shakti. 
Become Aware of the your root chakra. The energy from the heart is now moving from your root chakra towards your heart, and reaching towards your crown chakra. The energy ball is like an backrest, supporting you and providing lots of energy to you. Let your attention flow from the root chakra to the heart and from the heart to the crown chakra and then back again. There is abundant energy now within you. You may have various experiences like tingling expansion or just a subtle feeling of electricity. This is the Shakti flowing within you. Be filled with gratitude and love towards this energy. Gently bring your attention to your breath and enjoy the subtle movement of Shakti within you. 
The Divine Shakti will cleanse you inside out and you will feel calm and energized both after this wonderful exercise. 

Become a witness of the process and you will discover various ways the Shakti will manifest. Listen to small gestures of Shakti, what it says about your body, heart and mind. You can learn incredible things about your essence and your own subtle energy. Start to release any discomfort, mental or physical to the Shakti. The deeper connections you make with Shakti, the more manifestations of Shakti you experience in your life.

Mythology

Das Mahavidhya is referred to as 10 Wisdom Goddesses. There are various stories about how 10 Maha Vidhyas came into existence. The Wisdom Goddesses give us insights, knowledge and teach us about the essential energies that guide us in our spiritual ascension.


The first love story of the existence was of Shiva and Shakti. The association is so beautiful and warming. Sati, consort of Shiva had married him against the wishes of her father, Daksha Prajapati. But love does not know boundaries and Sati a princess, left her palace to live with Shiva in jungles of Kailash. Daksha who was furious on this decision of Sati, decided to do something to insult Shiva. He performed a big magnificent Yagna, to which he invited all god and goddesses except his son in law Shiva.

But when Sati came to know about the Yagna from Narad Muni, she asked Shiva for permission to go to the Yagna. She wanted to go to get the benefits of the Yagna for her beloved husband. Shiva said that Daksha was trying to insult him, so even if Sati attends the Yagna, the fruit of Yagna will not be auspicious. He stopped Sati from going on which Sati go very furious. She thought that Shiva was treating her like a ignorant lady, but she was the mother of universe. She assumed her real form, the one of Divine Mother. There was a great agitation in the universe. The universe could not stand the wonder of Divine Mother, the mountains shook, oceans raged and earth moved.


Seeing the furious form of Sati, Shiva began to shake and tried to flee. But Ten Divine Forms stopped him from all the ten directions. She closed all the escape routes.

These are the 10 Mahavidhyas. Although the Divine mother decided to show her all ten forms here but every form is having a different story, form and mantra. Sacred Tantra teaches you about the insights, wisdom and meditation related to every Goddesses.

Shakti Tantra

“Thou art the prime and great áš akti (energy) and the very form of all energies. By the help of thy energy we engage in the works of creation, preservation and destruction. Endless are thy manifestations, forms and colour. Nirvana Tantra
The Sakti (energy) is taking new forms and shapes and every time it takes a new form, we give it a new name. Shakti is manifesting continuously with Shiva. Shiva is the pure consciousness (static energy) while shakti is the dynamic one. Shakti is flowing within as Prana and is also as Kundalini seated on the root chakra. Many of the spiritual practices are dedicated to awaken this energy, as here lays the secret of Self-enlightenment. This is how many people have been perceiving enlightenment, which causes them to search for practices to just awaken the Kundalini. Kundalini awakening without preparation is a dangerous affair. The energy in Kundalini is immense and Sadhak or Sadhika need to prepare their body for it.
The study of the tantra is mostly related to worship of the Feminine Energy, the Goddess. The Shakt branch sees everything as a manifestation of the female energy and believes that everything seen or unseen, real or unreal is an expression  of the Female aspect of the universe. There are other Tantras too which are associated with the worship of Shiva, Vishnu and Ganesh.
Here in “Shakti Tantra” we are essentially deliberating over the Wisdom of “Das Mahavidhyas” or “Ten Wisdom Goddesses”
Kali Tara Mahavidya Shodashi Bhuvaneshwari
Bhairavi Chinnamasta Cha Vidya Dhumavati Tattha
Matangi siddha Vidya Cha Kathita Baglamukhi
Eta Dasha Maha Vidya Sarva Tantreshu Gopitah
Kali, Tara, Shodashi, Bhuvaneshwari, Bhairavi, Chinnamasta, Dhumavati, Matangi, Kamala, And Bagla Mukhi are ten Mahavidyas which are secret of all Tantras.
As the energy changes its forms, various aspects of the goddess are revealed, which reveal the inherent quality of everything that exists. The mystery is veiled in such a subtle manner that every Sadhak or Sadhika bounds to see a totally different view with different tools. The tools like mantra and yantra help us to unveil the true nature of what is real, pure and divine within and outside.
A major part of Tantra is related to study of Ten Wisdom Goddesses. What is revealed during the study of each goddess separately is phenomenal. Every practitioner gets a different revelation completely based on his/her Psyche and most importantly “Need of inner being”
Shakti Tantra by Ma Shakti Devpriya is done exclusively for Females under IMSCON (International Mission for Shakti Consciousness.) It been understood that females are not able to even accept their feminity completely leave aside the divine aspect within them. It is the right time for them to learn about the divine aspect of feminity lying dormant in them. Just by knowing the wonderful mystery of Das Mahavidhya so many revelations start to happening within. Every Goddess has various aspect and characteristics which represent few inherent female qualities. The Goddess encourages us to tread the path further and realize the real mission of being on the Human Plane. They show us the path that gives fulfillment and completeness still being a part of the big worldly drama. The spiritual essence that is a part of every soul on the Earth, is not being revealed by many. Especially Females feel left out in this big spiritual transition that is taking place on the Earthy plane right now. Shakti Tantra gives this wonderful opportunity to every female to discover the “Divine Feminine Aspect” within. Every Goddess has a various theory and meditational practices that give an ‘never before’ experience.
The Ten Wisdom Goddesses reveal the knowledge that takes us towards the inner journey. Every layer of past experiences and emotions is peeled out and bondage's start to loosen up as the wisdom starts to waken within us.
