The 10 Great Cosmic Powers, Dasha Maha Vidya in the esoteric tradition, are the 10 fundamental faces of God in manifestation. They are the 10 fundamental energies of the manifested universe, the different cosmic personalities of the Supreme Feminine Energy. By deeply meditating upon and worshiping the Great Cosmic Powers, each one of us is led to the realisation of the Absolute knowledge, the Ultimate Reality.

One by one, we dedicate our EcoTrance Plant Mystery events to the 10 Great Cosmic Powers, beginning with Kali, the energy of time and transformation.

Through the grace of the Great Cosmic Powers, and certain specially chosen elements including video projections, yantras (geometric representations), live performances, and tantric herbs, the dance becomes an active meditation which gives everyone the chance to enter into that special state of consciousness, known as the beneficial state of trance.
