Key Takeaways

1. Acharya Shunya's book follows goddess theory consisting of three parts: Goddess Durga, Goddess Lakshmi, and Goddess Saraswati. Durga
focuses on taking back our full feminine power, Lakshmi guides on cultivating inner contentment, while Saraswati illuminates the gifts of wisdom and inner freedom.

2. When Shakti says, in the myth Shunya tells, "I will stay your daughter until you respect me" we soon find
that Shakti does not find respect. Shakti then burns the threads of attachment and transforms into her true form. This shows us how we must access our own rage, rather than always being too accommodating and pleasing; we must stand for ourselves.

3. To find respect, we must
first start with respecting ourselves. We may find ourselves keeping a list of our failures, but we need to look at the bigger context of our divinity, which includes those failures. There is the sunrise with the sunset, youth with old age. Radical wholeness is the divine goddess Shakti.
