Sri Yoga Devi

Sri Yoga Devi is the Goddess of Yoga and the Shakti of Bhagavan Narayana. She is the Center of Power from which flows constantly the Divine power and love that connects, in eternal brotherhood, the hosts of Mahatmas, Siddhas, Maharishis, and all other beings in this world. She symbolizes the feminine energy (Shakti), which sustains all creation and life. All Suddha Dharma Centers around the world, realize a beautiful, and ancient ceremony in the Full moon of each month, where the Divine Shakti of Sri Yoga Devi and the Divine Hierarchy are invoked. She is the Sutratma that co-penetrates Suddha Dharma Mandalam like the thread that keeps the beads of a rosary together.
