Roar Like a Goddess

A rallying cry for women everywhere to break free from the shackles of patriarchy and awaken their true nature, brought to life through India's primary goddess archetypes.

A feminist manifesto rooted in classic Vedic teachings and brought to life through India’s primary goddess archetypes.Hidden within every woman is a wealth of emotional resilience, great divine strength for physical and sexual self-protection, righteous fierceness to overcome obstacles, and shocking abilities to create and enjoy abundance. Yet after centuries of living in patriarchal societies, many women don’t realize how powerful they are — or how they’ve been enculturated to keep their true natures hidden. In Roar Like a Goddess, trailblazing Vedic spiritual teacher Acharya Shunya empowers women to step into their divine immensity and lead powerful, abundant, and wise lives through a revolutionary revisioning of ancient India’s primary goddess archetypes: Durga teaches women how to access their full power, Lakshmi boldly leads the way to abundance, and Saraswati illuminates the gifts of freedom. For each goddess, Shunya shares ancient myths, original insights, and empowering practices — many of which supported her own journey. Once trapped within the bondage of limiting beliefs and patriarchal relationships, Shunya credits the practices in this book for the life of sovereignty she has today. Throughout Roar Like a Goddess, Shunya honors her progressive Vedic roots while breaking the shackles of tradition to bring modern-day women a decolonized spirituality. “It is time for all women to come out of the closet and roar with all their spiritual power,” she writes, “because that is our true sound.”
