Margaret Rhasoda Varga: The ten cosmic powers (Mahavidyas)
Introduction

Those who use the mantras and yantras I have published with understanding and living through, have a chance to invoke the grace of the goddesses and the use of their powers. Each aspect has a sound or series of sounds associated with it, which are not described here. When the connection is established between the goddess and the practitioner, the sound-mantra is involuntarily sounded within, confirming the existence of the connection.
Although my detailed teachings are available to students of the UCC yoga school, those which are presented here even in this form provide a practical guide to understanding the world around us and within it, ourselves.
