About Us

We are a small temple in Alameda, California, USA, dedicated to MAA Kamakhya and the Mahavidyas. As simple sadhikas and sadhaks (practitioners) our mission is to provide a place of worship and facilitate direct experience of the Divine Mother, to directly aid devotees through puja, prayer, and rites of passage, as well as to educate about the true nature of traditional Tantra as a path of liberation and radical nondualism.

Temple Timings

Most of our temple rituals are by nature secret and are by invitation only. We do occasionally have events that are open to the public. Much of our work, however, exists in helping to create a virtual temple space that fosters education and personal relationship with deity.

 

We encourage you to cultivate the temple in your own heart, and to see this site as a virtual temple space.
