From the 8-time internationally award-winning, best-selling book, The Way of the Goddess
“The Way of the Goddess invites you into an annual 9-goddess festival celebrated by millions of Indians worldwide with lots of colors, music, pomegranate seeds, puffed rice, potatoes, and dancing around the light of a lamp. So many celebrate it, but so few actually know its significance.
The festival is called Navratri. And the light of the lamp at the center of the dance represents the power we all have, regardless of religion or gender, to give birth to the most authentic version of ourselves.
The Way of the Goddess introduces to the world, for the very first time, a profound 9-step hero's journey, rooted in this ancient festival, to overcome all forms of abuse and trauma, and turn adversity into your friend. The way I share about Navratri in The Way of the Goddess is rooted in my own personal transformation journey. Each chapter leads you through simple daily rituals to reclaim nine spiritual superpowers, of stability, creativity, transformation, love, voice, intuition, truth, rejuvenation and intention, in each of your chakras.”
- Ananta Ripa Ajmera, author, The Way of the Goddess
What Dr. Deepak Chopra Says About the Book
“I very highly recommend Ananta’s book, The Way of the Goddess. It has a lot of very practical wisdom that we desperately need in this world right now, torn by violence, social and economic injustice, chronic disease, mental illness, and total absence of joy. I think that anyone and everyone, male or female, can benefit from this beautiful book, with all the illustrations, rituals, practices, insights, and the stories, both personal and mythical.”
- Dr. Deepak Chopra
