It is Pujya Guruji Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati’s vision to make Sri Vidya accessible to each and every person.
We conduct online [Beginner’s Course] & residential courses at Devipuram to build a basic understanding about Sri Vidya in a systematic and graded fashion. This course has recently been re-designed to provide learners greater ease in learning, and more time to assimilate the ancient concepts and practice. The course is divided into three levels- Beginners, Mid-level and Advanced . Each level takes you on a journey of higher understanding, learning more elaborate rituals and combining the science behind the rituals with practical modes of worship for an enjoyable learning experience.
Once the Sadhaka completes the 44 days practice of the worship taught in the Beginners level, he/ she will be eligible to attend the Mid-level course, and similarly for the Advanced level course.

Mid-level Course
Mid-level Course: In this course, we learn the Essence and Nature of the Goddesses: Śyāmā in Anāhata, and Vārāhi at Ājñā,. Continuing with our ritual worship, the yantra pujas of Syama and Varahi are taught. We also learn how to draw the Śrī Cakra, the most elaborate of Yantras, encompassing the entire Cosmos within it. Describing the process of Creation and our own journey back to the Source, drawing this Yantra is itself a meditation granting immense benefits. The structure of the Sri Chakra, the placement of the Khadgamala deities within the yantra and its correlation to the human body all form the explorations during this Mid-level course. Another important aspect of worship is Homam, or fire ritual. Learn the simple way (Laghu Vidhi) to perform these magical ways to interact with divine energies and derive their immense benefits.
Advanced-level Course
Advanced-level Course: In this Course, you learn about the 10 Wisdom Goddesses (the Daśa Mahāvidyās) and how to channel their energies. With a special focus on Tripura Sundari, we approach the Supreme Empress, Lalitā, and learn the techniques of worshipping Her with the ritual of the Navāvaraṇa Pūjā. A wonderfully exquisite ritual, this paves the way for internal focus of worship of the Goddess Parā. Having begun our worship of Bala at the Svadhishthana Chakra in the Beginner’s course, we now access Her energies through internal meditative forms of worship. You will also learn the Rashmimala mantras which are said to come from the Sun forming a garland around the Divine Mother. These important mantras along with special Vighnahara mantras are given by Bhagawan Paraśurāma and are prescribed for Śrī Vidyā Upāsakās as a daily practice. You will have hands on experience of detailed method of performing homams and understanding the way to invoke various deities, their mantras and special offerings in the fire.
As Guruji Amṛtānanda Nātha says, “Begin your journey to the Goddess today, no matter how feebly. I am there with you all the way. Devipuram has everything you need to elevate you physically, mentally and- most importantly- spiritually. So come, Enjoy, Empower and Realise Yourself!”
