Learn Mahishasur Mardini Strotram in 21 Days

This 21-day journey is designed to help you invoke Durga’s victorious energy through the sacred Mahishasura Mardini Stotram. Together with your teacher, Kanika, you will clear fear, dissolve self-doubt, release karmic resistance, and overcome inertia—so you can stand firmly in your strength, cut through energy blockages, and realign with the divine power of Shakti.

What makes this course unique is that it will be personalized for you. At every step, your pace, challenges, and strengths will guide how we move forward, ensuring that you feel fully supported in this learning process.

1. Learning the Stotram - In the online live sessions, you will learn the Mahishasura Mardini Stotram—line by line, with meaning, correct pronunciation, and energy alignment. Your learning will be further personalized by focusing on the verses most resonant with your energy and current life challenges.

2. Guided Chanting Practice - Twice a week, you will join live sessions with Kanika, where you will practice chanting together.
These sessions are interactive, allowing you to ask questions and get feedback on your chanting style, rhythm, and breath control. Based on your voice and comfort, we will adapt the pace and intonation to help you embody the chant more deeply.

3. Rhythm & Breathwork - The Stotram carries a powerful cadence that can shift your inner state. You will learn rhythmic training and breathwork techniques to anchor the chant in your body. Depending on your capacity to keep up with the rhythm, it will be modified to suit your comfort level. 

4. Meditations & Visualizations - Each week, you will explore guided visualizations invoking the 9 forms of Durga, aligning with her qualities—protection, courage, wisdom, compassion, and strength.
These practices will be personalized to your own spiritual goals—for example, if you’re seeking courage, we’ll spend more time with Durga’s warrior form; if you’re seeking peace, we’ll emphasize her nurturing form.

5. Journaling & Reflection - After each practice, you’ll receive journaling prompts to help you integrate the energy of the Stotram.
This will give you clarity on how Shakti is moving through your life right now, and help you track personal shifts during the course.

6. Sacred Navratri Guidance - You’ll learn dinacharya (daily spiritual routines) to align with the energy of Navratri—covering practices, diet suggestions, and rituals that support your journey. These will be tailored to your lifestyle, so you can bring devotion into your day without overwhelm.
