In this episode of Path of Mantra, we explore one of the most pivotal—and often misunderstood—aspects of mantra sadhana: Deities.Many people begin mantra practice believing it’s simply about sound vibration. But as the path deepens, a new reality is revealed: every mantra is connected to a living entity—a being of light, divine intelligence, or cosmic force.In this episode, I unpack:What deities really are—from the perspective of Hindu cosmology, yogic psychology, and personal experienceWhy mantra without a relationship to the deity lacks full power and graceCommon resistance from Western culture, Abrahamic religions, or non-duality backgrounds—and how to move through itThe Vedic concept of 14 lokas (planes of existence) and how deities exist in the higher realmsWhy calling on a deity is often more fruitful than directly invoking the Creator or the formless SupremeThe role of Ishta Devata—your personal deity—and how to discover yours through teacher guidance, astrology, intuition, or experimentationThis is a must-listen for spiritual seekers who feel called to deepen their practice beyond abstract meditation and enter into a living relationship with the sacred. As you move from resisting the form to recognizing the light behind it, your spiritual path transforms.Jai Mataji!🎧 Learn more at ⁠ShaktaTantra.com⁠
