Akhilanda

Akhilanda

Akhilanda represents the essence of the Phoenix; she’s the indestructible energy that embraces change. She knows that everything is conspiring to transform her into only more love and light. 

Akhilanda is an elusive goddess from Hindu mythology. Her full name is Akhilandaeshvari. Ishvari in Sanskrit means “female power” or “goddess,” and Akhilanda means “never not broken,” so she is the goddess of never not broken. She can never be broken, because she always is. She is the embodiment of what we try to avoid—the dissolution of our ego’s identity.

Her power is unparalleled. She radiates the potent light and joy that’s the goal of change, transformation, or pain. There is very little written about her; she is meant to be known through experience. She is an intimate, interior goddess that we meet when we are in the darkest moments of grief and heartbreak.

She shows us where our energy is trapped, where we have been stifled in routines or others’ expectations of us. And she whispers the liberation we will experience once we let ourselves break open and allow the new expression of our self to come blazing through. She reminds us that we always have the power to choose to see every event as yet another opportunity to become more light, to become more of the radiant soul we are here to be.”
