Swagatam! Welcome to SHARANYA...

We are a Devi Mandir (Goddess Temple) and non-profit organization whose work is spiritual service in the world. We are dedicated to the bridging of East and West through embodied spirituality and worship of the Goddess...especially as Kali Maa, our beloved Dark Mother. Ours is a tradition that believes in the potential of the human heart to create change throughout all spheres of life. Read our mission and vision here. Welcome!

We invite you to explore our website, join us for worship (puja), community workshops, and to engage in the mysteries of the Divine. We also offer counseling services, as well as unique, custom-designed wedding ceremonies and other rite-of-passage ceremonies, including rituals for girls at menarche.

All proceeds from classes, merchandise and donations go to our nonprofit operations, including various projects such as creating a public Goddess temple and community space in the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as our efforts in India.

If you would like to keep up-to-date on our public events, private workshops, guest teachers (such as Amarananda Bhairavan, author of Kali's Odiyya, or the Baul Babukishan Das, renowned minstral), and online classes, please subscribe to our newsletter.

* Donation listed is suggested sliding scale, and helps cover space rental as well as ceremony costs (flowers, food, other items). Larger or smaller donations gladly accepted, all donations are tax-deductible. No one turned away for lack of funds!
