I don’t know about you
But I get messages
all the time
Like from these two
Tulips in a vase
leaning down
Searching for krishna
On the altar
Eager
Stretching
Longing
Ignoring the crowd
Going the other way
After something better

Urban Devi is a community of women who gather to explore and excavate their identities as urban women living the spiritual life. An urban devi is in the world, but not of the world. She acts in the world to uplift, and shift the consciousness of those around her to a higher place of Bhakti, or love in action.
