Rites of Passage
aka Samskāras
The main focus of our Priestess Initiation Training is on the sacred transitions of life. This training is a deep immersion into the world of rituals where you will receive the rite of passage dedicated to the 7 major transitions. It is a time to remember and restore the healing and empowering gifts of being and sharing in community.
The ritual world of Vaidika differs greatly among regions, villages and individuals. However, the common thread uniting them is the understanding that all that is here is sacred.
A detailed series of life-cycle rituals (samskara, refinements, rites of passages) mark major transitions in the life of the individual.
The Vaidika way of life perceives each element of an individual’s life as sacred and worthy of worship and celebration.
Thus, from the moment of birth, intake of first food, writing of first letters, till marriage, and death, every life event is associated with sacredness, worship, and celebration.
Even in death, wherein people always mourn, it is recognized that the journey of the jivatma has not ended and the death rites aim to aid the jivatma to regain new birth and continue its journey further. Thus, even the Death Rites are sacred and have utmost importance in the Vaidika scheme of things.
Samskaras, or Vaidika Rites of Passage, according to the ancient sage Panini, are the ornaments that decorate one’s personality. They mark the important stages of one’s life and enable one to live a fulfilling life, complete with happiness and contentment. They pave the way for one’s physical and spiritual journey through this life. It is believed that the various Vaidika samskaras meticulously lead to a purification of one’s ‘papas’, (vices or faults), and even correction of physical deformities. The Upanishads mention samskaras as a means to grow and prosper in all four goals that a human being can have: These goals, or Purushartha are: Dharma (righteousness), Artha (wealth), Kama (work and pleasure) and Moksha (freedom).

PRIESTESS SHĀRADĀ DEVĪ
I am Sharada Devi Founder & Creatrix of Devi School and I am so delighted to walk with you through a complete cycle of life. During our Priestess Initiation we will experience a life time and I know it will create a deep bond, a long lasting imprint that will impact your life in the most magnificent and meaningful ways.
It is my honour to mirror you so that you can mirror others.
Walking the path of the Priestess has re established a sense of deep worthiness which has given me the confidence to be all that I never thought I could be.
Through Rites of Passage I have re gained a deep sense of belonging something we all human beings long for and need in order to have the strength and enthusiasm to meet life in its fullness.
Ritual and Rites of Passage have given me the magic in my life I have always been dreaming of since I was a little girl. I didn't know that it was the missing ingredient until I was initiated.
I have had the profound blessing to be initiated by my revered teachers who have blessed me to pass on these initiations. Now I can initiate you so that you can initiate your next kin. A sacred lineage of Priestesses that IS being in true service of the Sacred.
