Sri Vidya Circle: Awakening Inner Wisdom

Join Sri Vidya Circle: A Journey to Your Inner Self

Welcome to Sri Vidya Circle, a unique spiritual community dedicated to exploring the profound wisdom of Sri Vidya through holistic daily practices. Rooted in Vedantic Advaita, our approach seamlessly integrates mantra chanting, mental worship, and selfless service, nurturing inner guidance and spiritual growth without the need for a formal Guru or Deeksha.

Why We're Radically Different

We believe in the power of the individual spirit and the inner Guru that resides within each of us. Unlike traditional branches of Sri Vidya that emphasize external Gurus and formal initiations (Deeksha), we focus on fostering self-reliance and personal spiritual discovery. Our radical approach empowers you to be your own guide, drawing from the ancient teachings of non-duality to realize your true self.
