Shaktikumbh 2024
The Unity Pavilion and Shaktikumbh 2024 organising team are inviting the community to participate in what they describe as “a unique nine day spiritual and experiential immersion based on the philosophical significance of numbers in an integrated Indian context” between 21—29 February in the Unity Pavilion. “To the intuitive seekers of Brahman, the numbers offer many opportunities to meditate upon and realize the hidden symbolism, and its archetypal power, its shakti.” The occasion, say the organisers, is inspired by the five dreams of Sri Aurobindo and intended to “revitalise Bharata Shakti and support the regenerative renaissance of Mother India.”
The spiritual force of India is gathered and celebrated every four years with the Kumbh Mela. However, for social, religious and historical reasons, most traditions and lineages to date have been represented by male practitioners. It is envisioned now to build a gathering of female spiritual practitioners, across the subcontinent’s many religious traditions, who can uphold and revitalise the Feminine Principle within, for regenerating, healing and leading our communities, our country, our world. This Shakti Kumbh will feature yoga, meditation, dance, art, theater and much more in the service of a transformational journey over nine days.
