Katyayani created Phamily Foundations to be a valuable tool in building a strong foundation for two people to successfully live their lives as one, in unity and in love that only grows with the tests of time.

“I was first struck with the vision of Phamily Foundations in 2008 on the first day I was in class with Liu Ming at the beautiful location in nature the Bay Conference Center resides upon on Paradise Drive in Marin County, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. There’s a reason that road is named Paradise Drive; the natural views there are divine. On that first day of class, I was inspired to take some of the basic principles used throughout all eight rays of Traditional Chinese Medicine and apply them to creating ceremonies for two people who want to spend their lives together. My dream only grew and developed after that, and in 2013, my vision for Phamily Foundations became complete, through inner vision and different gems of knowledge that happened to cross my path. I am excited to share this knowledge with the world and to help people form regenerative, loving relationships established on a strong foundation that’s built to last. The foundation of our community is the family, so this is a vital part of creating a vibrant and healthy future for all.

“Much of what enabled me to develop this natural method of building a strong foundation for a life partnership came from my meditations and other spiritual teachings. I practiced Surat Shabd Yoga and Inner Light & Sound Meditation for ten years after being initiated by Sant Thakar Singh in 2004. It was through his mission that I connected with Mahamandaleshwar Maa Adishakti and received her initiation in 2014. Guru Maa gave us some additional practices for meditation that remarkably give us a powerful ability to cultivate Shakti (energy) more easily and therefore make greater progress in cultivating consciousness (Shiv) within us. Thanks to Guru Maa, I literally achieved more in one year through meditation than I had achieved in the previous ten years, by far.

“In 2016, Guru Maa gave me the spiritual name, Katyayani (pronounced Kaht-yah-eye-nee), my full name being Katyayanibetha, Daughter of Durga. I am named after The Goddess of Love, Maa Katyayani, whom people have prayed to for millennia for a good life partner and a happy and peaceful married life. Maa sees everything from within, and she must have seen that this would be a part of my life’s work. I am immensely grateful to Maa for all that She has given me and all that she does for all of us. I am also thankful that I can do this work on the Earth, share this knowledge, and help as many people as I possibly can.”
