It was such a pleasure today to join Jason McKean to discuss my inspirations behind writing and publishing the books Alchemical Yogini, Kali Samadhi MMXX and Cringy Cat – Ayurveda for children.
Cringy Cat – Ayurveda for Children – NOW AVAILABLE
Cringy Cat, an Ayurveda book for children that I wrote, is now published and available for international shipping just in time for Christmas. This is an easy and funny story with big print and bright illustrations to teach children basic Ayurveda and helps children problem solve the nutrition and lifestyle sources of 3 types of “cringy.”
Krsna Kali – Kali Samadhi MMXX
I am humbled and honored that the hand bound, limited edition Kali Samadhi MMXX books sold out in one day. The paperback version is NOW available on Amazon. Follow THIS LINK to order your copy of Kali Samadhi MMXX. During the process of writing and publishing this devotional art book, I also recorded a full length album also entitled Kali Samadhi MMXX. The song, Krsna Kali, contains 108 repetitions of the Maha Mantra with ektar and flute to facilitate deep ritual meditation. Hare Krsna!
New Year Event & Sound Bath – SAVE THE DATE!
Let’s bring in 2021 with clarity and purpose. Join me for this important New Year transition on January 3rd from 12 – 3pm. During this 3 hour event, I will guide you through a deep chakra meditation, sound bath, seated gently movement, breath work and a 2021 candle ceremony.
Kali Samadhi MMXX – Book and Ritual Album
I am very excited to announce the completion of the book and ritual album titled Kali Samadhi MMXX. Both are now available!
“The Goddess leaps forth from these black and red inked pages of Kali Samadhi MMXX. Kalavati Devi has opened gateways and channeled powerful images and transmissions from deep meditational trance states. Each enigmatic illustration, poem and prose emerged from an altered state of consciousness in the cave of the Mother. The trance messages are encoded, revealing, fierce, provoking, and erotic. Many of the sacred mantras used to manifest this divine grimoire have been included. Each serve as a vibrational tool to connect with disincarnate intelligences which unlock alchemical evolution. “
Cringy Cat – Ayuveda for Children AVAILABLE SOON!
I am very excited to announce to publishing of my new book CRINGY CAT – Ayurveda for children.
Cringy Cat is a children’s book that helps families understand the basic principles of Ayurveda. This silly and fun story illustrates three types of “cringy” and how they feel physically and mentally. Meema helps the child figure out why she feels the way she does. Together they discover what nutrition and lifestyle imbalances caused the “cringe”.

Love Without Discrimination
” Forgive everyone who has caused you pain. Forget everything. Love everybody in the same way; whether a person is big, small or no longer there. Give the same love to everyone.

To Love the One
Your first step towards spirituality is seeing One inside yourself, and that One inside you, is the One inside everyone else. Take care of your own self, and take care of everything around you and everything connected to you. When you love yourself in a way that you love the One, you love the One that is inside everyone.
Ceasefire into Ananda
In the day and age of modernity, peace is a priceless commodity. Peace can not be bought, sold or traded. It is a state of being, a presence that can only be established inside oneself, then radiated outward. When searching for the elixir of peace there are several synonyms such as calm, restful, silent, bliss,…
Free The Mind From Slavery
“…the emptying of all thought out of the mind so as to leave it a sort of pure vigilant blank on which the divine knowledge may come and imprint itself, undisturbed by inferior thoughts of the ordinary human mind and with the clearness of a writing in white chalk on a blackboard. You will find that the Gita speaks of this rejection of all mental thought as one of the methods of yoga… This may be called the dhyāna of liberation, as it frees the mind from slavery to the mechanical process of thinking and allows it to think or not to think, as it pleases and when it pleases, or to choose its own thoughts or else to go beyond thought to the pure perception of Truth called in our philosophy Vijnāna.” Sri Aurobindo
Light of Auṃ ॐ
OM will shelter you like an umbrella. If you chant the sacred syllable OM, your mind naturally returns to a peaceful state of stillness, which eventually becomes emptiness.
Fragrance of Gratitude
The expression of gratitude offers us the opportunity to realign with our heart center. In Ayurvedic medicine, the heart is said to be the seat of the soul. Gratitude is the act of focusing on what we are grateful for and what we appreciate. In the attitude of gratitude, we shift our perceptions intentionally to the vibration of being thankful.
Yoking with Divinity
“Anyone calling out for God, from any land, in any language, and in any age, remember, their cries reach this heart like the waves of the ocean crashing onto the shore.” ~Sri Anandamayi Ma

Indra’s vajra strikes the seat of Soul, Stilling vrittis that clutter Self control, Igniting all the indriyas, satloka atmosphere, Agni rises in the East casting Soul to steer, Darkness falls from windows sills Fueling Love’s bright flame, Five for wisdom, five for deed One in central plane, Breathe the nectar, ojas sweet Smell, taste, hear,…
Transcendence – Atma Upanishad
“Soul releases prakruti
Prana dances back to smriti
When’s our time, we never know
Till light it shines a brilliant show
Transcending flight into beauty
Creating space for new found duty
Fix the mind on God, each day, each breath
Find the space of God, each step, each death
See the face of God, each smile, each frown
Be the light of God, each life, each crown.”

Sweet Potatoes & Vitamin A
Did you know that a sweet potato is not actually a potato? Sweet potatoes are a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the bindweed or morning glory family, convolvulaceae. This easy to grow large, starchy, sweet-tasting, tuberous root does not belong to the nightshade family. Sweet potatoes are so easy to make. You can steam them, mash them, bake them or put them in a stew. Here’s a basic nutrient profile below. Look at the vitamin A load!
