Acarya Training Program Update
The first Acarya Training Program is underway here at Kailash Akhara and we have already seen that the original format and time-line has to be changed to allow for the fruition and attainment of the teachings to occur.

A true, quaking awareness of taking part in such marvelous Śakti (blissful and dynamic essence energy of the divine feminine) is a powerful ...
