The Book of Artha
Giving voice to the feminine mysteries.
A universal set of teachings for the coming Aquarian age.
The Book of Artha - a Dharma Invitation
Beloved Community,
We bring to you news of a special proclamation that manifested in front of us on Day 4 of Navaratri this year (14 October 2026).
After the fire ceremony took place, Ma Durga spoke through Shakti Durga and entrusted Shanti Mission with a new understanding of our Dharma pathway, a pathway which will be primarily disseminated worldwide through the teachings of THE BOOK OF ARTHA - a compilation of 130+ transmissions from the Divine Mother, supported by our existing series of teachings for living with Ease and Grace.
To share some context, Shakti Durga has channeled Goddess Artha in Friday Mystery School classes since April 2020, and on Friday, 9 October 2026 we were informed that the project is complete.
Goddess Artha comes from the British goddess tradition, and in that tradition, she's a goddess associated with fire and with the springtime. She's also associated with the sun and with Ursa Major, the starry constellation that is part of the Great Bear. Artha is also related to the Pleiadian energies; the Seven Sisters are said to be the handmaidens of Artha in the Western European mystery teachings.
Within this page, we are sharing the recording and transcript of Ma Durga's exact words.
We kindly ask you to take some time to read and listen to this significant announcement which also carries the energy of the Divine transmission.
This is a pivotal project for Shanti Mission and whilst the content has been completed, the book will be made available in 2027.

TRANSCRIPTION
Beloved Ones,
The combination of the Devi as Maa Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati greet you today, bringing forth the energy of celebration of Kushmanda.
Beloved Ones, I ask that youmerge with this one, Shakti Durga, that you may more easily and readily feel our blessings. It’s with great joy that we have participated in your evolution and in the Book of Artha's Creation, as it is our desire to bring forth reconciliation and reunification between the world's peoples and their faiths. To this end, we seek to clarify the continuous tradition that has spanned the entire continent of Eurasia.
This is one tradition looking like many different parts, and you may say that if you look at a forest, perhaps it mainly has a certain type of tree in this area, and yet you go up the hill and there's another type of dominant species. Go a little further and something else predominates. But if you stand back and look, it is one forest. And so it is that the divine has blessed Eurasia with a wealth of choice as to how people see their spiritual path, and as the great seer, sage, and Christed one, Lord Yeshua said, the divine has prepared a mansion for each and every seeker, and such it is that in each lifespan, those who have the karmic grace and the interest will find that there is a path that suits their needs.
It is time, Beloved Ones, for there to be a reconciliation between the ideas that are in the human mind concerning separateness between Europe and India. The European and Indian were once one tradition, called at one end Celtic and the other end, Dravidian. These were but one expression of the whole Beloved Ones. The similarity in much of the language of Europe to that of Sanskrit is now well documented by your historians and others of the scientific mind.
It is for the reason of unification that Shakti Durga's birth was blessed by those on the inner plane who sought to have a person born in the West educated in the East, who could then bring forth the unification of the teachings of the East and West, bringing forth also bridges from the predominant teachings of the scientific concepts of the West, pertaining to what you term psychology - the self-development, personal development, and other teachings that have developed in the Western world, combined with a development that has been obtained by diving deeply into Vedantic, Vedic, Puranic, and Tantric practices, has brought forth the culmination of the project.
Now, the Book of Artha was deliberately not fronted by Maa Durga, who has stood forward in the triumvirate of Narayani to speak with you right now. But our sister Artha was chosen, for her presence has been in both Indian and European fields of inquiry. Her presence is strongest in Europe, and historically, she took many incarnations to help the peoples of those worlds and is known by the name of various Goddesses. She primarily is a Goddess of fire, which suits the temperament of Shakti Durga, and is necessary for the bringing forth of a project such as this.
You who are disciples of Shakti Durga are blessed to be part of this mission and part of the bringing forth of a new set of scriptures that will benefit the people of the world. The idea with this new set of scriptures is not to displace any other system, but to add something new that many will find comforting, expansive, and provide a rapid path of illumination on their own journeys. It is anticipated that as this is a Goddess tradition, the teachings will be able to be woven into many other paths and traditions, in accordance with the need or desire of the seeker.
At no time, now or ever, will the Goddess ask anybody to change to this dharma path if they are happy and content where they are, and nor should Shakti Durga or her followers. This is a new path, an expansive path, the path of the mother who loves all of her children. She loves the children who pay attention and the children who don't. She loves the children who clean up their bedrooms and the ones who don't. She loves the children that do the washing up and the ones who don't. She loves the ones who seek to learn and the ones who prefer to stay in darkness. All are loved, Beloved Ones, and your role as you move forward in service to this project will be to also love all of those who either love you or loathe you. It matters not the opinion of others in this world, but through love we will continue. We will not pit ourselves against any other tradition, and we will not pit ourselves against any orthodoxy. But we will claim a new path, being presented to the world, as always happens at the turning of every age. This pathway is deemed to be suitable for the next 1000 years and may also be suitable for 1000 years thereafter. Remnants of the path, if all goes well, will also help seed the following age, the age of Capricorn. After that, it will be up to those who live in such times and the way in which the practices have been dealt with in this and other emerging traditions, that will determine what comes forth again in the Capricornian era, which is 2,500
years hence.
Beloved Ones, it is a great blessing to be present at the commencement of any new Dharma pathway. Just as those who knew the Buddha were blessed to be in his immediate circle, those of you who have been called to work with Shakti Durga are also blessed to be at the beginning of an endeavor that will span the centuries. Some of you will be known to those who come, because your work will become the dissemination of the teachings of the Book of Artha and the supplementary teachings of the Path of Ease And Grace, which for at least the next few 100 years may also be of assistance, as the ideas and practices contained within those teachings will not yet be part of that which is expected and anticipated that every human being would already know.
And so it is that there are wheels within wheels, within wheels. At the commencement of this project, this project was not told to Shakti Durga. It was not revealed to those who worked with her, and it has only been persistence and the following of guidance and the willingness to stand in uncertainty that has allowed this project to come as far as it has. Shakti Durga will need much assistance in bringing forth this work into the world. And each of you who listen to this are charged with searching your heart and soul to find what assistance could you give that will assist not only your own karmic destiny, but also the lives of the peoples that are coming to this planet for many, many years to come.
The practice of Navaratri should be instilled in all of those who seek to utilize the book of Artha, because it has been the main pathway that has led to the development of Shakti Durga through these times, and the presence of Maa Durga in her steadfast adherence to all of the adventures that Shakti Durga has been on should be noted. It has been Maa Durga's urging that Shakti Durga also teach Kabbala, and she also teach mystical Christianity, and she also teach excerpts from Buddhism, and also encourage the indigenous traditions to be present within the mystery school.
This has all been Parameshwari's blessing and request, because we wish to have a group of people who can span abysses, who can intelligently utilize teachings from various sources without having to compare or judge them. Your training is to become beings of unconditional love, and to recognize what parts of the teachings of the Book of Artha will be of most relevance to those who sit before you.
You will know from history that there are many parts of the Bible that are incomprehensible to most people, and yet they were included. It is important for you to understand that in the future these things will be understood, because there are timing mechanisms in humanity remembering its multidimensionality. When the multidimensionality is restored to its rightful place in the teachings, then humanity will once more derive much benefit from certain passages of the Bible that have been relegated to the sidelines at this time. One should
appreciate the sacred scriptures of all nations and all people. One should appreciate the sacred practices of all nations and all people, and one should avoid taking them for granted or usurping them in ways that are out of the context in which the culture was given. There should not be excess with any of the teachings, either given by Artha or any other source.
Beloved Artha will continue to speak through Shakti Durga. In the future, she will come as the doctrines are given to people in groups all over the world. The Book of Artha will become like a set of scriptures or Upanishads that will bring forth pearly, timeless wisdom. Breathe in and feel the truth of the words. Feel the power of the project and be aware of the many souls who are waiting for this to come forth.
It is important that some of you make it your business to be teachers of the Path of Ease and Grace material, and it is important that some of you make yourself available to be teachers of meditation sessions, and contemplation sessions, and mentoring sessions, and study groups around the scriptures that are being given to you. This is a sacred duty. It is not about transforming someone into something else, except into more of the self, more of the presence of the Higher Self. (Shakti Durga later clarified: help them be more them, more of the presence of their higher self.)
The many adventures of this particular mystery school will continue. There will also be instruction as to how to adapt the practices you've been given to suit various landscapes. An important landscape will be the landscape of Britain, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. For there is a deep need for a return to the teachings of the earth in these places, as the seeds of the ancestry of so many who call Canada and America and Australia (home) flowed from these places, and to provide them with a spiritual root once more, that they can practice and bring it into identification the landscapes of those places will be of great importance.
The work of Gayatri and her disciples will also be of great importance in the bringing of these things to those who need them. All that you require for this project, Beloved Ones, will be forthcoming. There will be no shortage. There will be no scarcity. There will be nothing but flow, and you are asked to remember and always invoke Shakti Durga prior to any of the work you do on this project now or in the future. You must be in complete harmony and oneness with your Guru, and the blessings will go deeply into your soul. They will assist not just you but your descendants, and there will be much grace coming forth in many ways beyond that which is now spoken.
It would be appropriate also to collect these words and to make them available to those who seek the wisdom of the Book of Artha, Parameshwari, Maha Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati, beloved Narayani, and all the great ones that you term the great ones, such as Mother Gayatri, the Light of the Sun and the Earth, all are here with you and for you. The Holy Archangels of the Western realms are also part of this project and working in harmony with the Gods and Goddesses that you will meet and remember.
The way in which this work springs forth from all of the cultures of Eurasia will be made manifest over time, but Artha wishes you blessings on your journey and thanks you for your participation in this world-changing project.
Namaste.
