Shakti in Seva is a collective of devotees who support the Vaishnavi Diksha Gurus (VDG) initiative and lend their voices to the recognition of qualified Vaishnavis as spiritual teachers within the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition.
Through this platform, we aim to gather and amplify additional voices in support of Vaishnavism, while sharing updates, resources, and educational materials related to the campaign. Shakti in Seva also seeks to provide foundational knowledge about the role of women in Krishna consciousness, helping to foster thoughtful dialogue, understanding, and theological clarity within the devotional community and beyond.
The platform also serves as a growing resource base, offering information, educational materials, and connections within the community. In addition, Shakti in Seva highlights businesses and services that bring devotional values and conscious service into the world.
