Welcome back to The Infinite Life With Katische Haberfield podcast. I'm Katische Haberfield, your host, and this is season 13, where we are talking to some amazing, interesting, fascinating, insightful individuals. And today we have a repeat guest of the podcast, Lalitha Donatella Riback. And I'm just going to read you her bio in case you haven't already tuned into the previous episode of the podcast, where I did interview her, I think it was last year now.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 2:03

It was a mouthful, but thank you. I'm very, very delighted to be here back here with Katische, with you, your audience. Very, very honored.

Katische Haberfield: 2:15

Now before we go forward into talking about your brand new book, The Golden age of Goddesses, love abundance and the truth have returned, I would like to thank you first because we, as we are recording, it's the 10th of March and I live in Brisbane, Australia, and we've just been through a direct impact cyclone. And as you can see, there's no water streaming through my house. I ha I have, yeah, I have full power. And when Lalitha was contacting me to make sure that this podcast was still going ahead, I said, well, I have done my angelic protection for the block. And I've also had the privilege of having a podcast episode with an expert who knows about trees and rocks. And we moved a lot of stuck energy off the greater property that I was on, including, The souls of all sorts of beings that I had thought I'd cleared, but there was another level. And then, so I did that and I did the angels. And then I said to Lalitha what else should I do? And she said, well, you should pray to Durga. And is it, how do you pronounce the next one? Muruga? Murgha?

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 3:29

Yes, huh.

Katische Haberfield: 3:30

Yeah. And so in the middle of the night, when we got our shelter in place, warning on the phone and I had to get my two teenage boys and we went into my walk in robe and we lay down with all the pillows and the blankets and the food and we, we managed to go to sleep. I chanted my way to sleep, chanting those two names. And guess what? We're fine. So thank you, Lalitha.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 3:56

Yes,

Katische Haberfield: 3:56

thank you to those God and Goddess.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 3:59

Always let's thank the divine and the celestial beings who are available now more than ever. know, everybody knows, we're waking up. has probably heard our frequencies on the earth plane are accelerating at an unprecedented rate. Right, right. So we're all like on the verge of evolving more and more, but also changing dimension and that. Takes a lot, right? Takes some shock, it takes some nudging, and it takes also some deliberate choice. So, the beings are here, whether we recognize them or not, but I believe that they are so benevolent that it's in our best interest to communicate with them. And we have a lot of literature on that, in every tradition. particularly in the Vedic tradition, because the Vedic tradition is very, very close to these beings. They are not theoretical, they are not just archetypes, although they are. But Muruga, for example, we were mentioning him, is from the Pleiades star cluster, and the story is very clear. He came to Tamil Nadu, they say, the Rishis, million years ago. Very clear with a precise date. It came from the Pleiades and the Pleiadian beings were on the earth plane and they helped us. That's it. And they're very benevolent and they care about us. And the Earth. So we shouldn't mess with the Earth either. Excuse me.

Katische Haberfield: 5:33

That's right.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 5:34

I've had this same experience as you. I forget how many years ago. I believe it was 2015. had Sandy, a hurricane, in New York City and also New York State called Sandy. And there was a lot of destruction and I lived in Westchester County with 7 million homes. Only 300, 000 retained their electricity, but in my area, my street, I was The only one. Why we were chanting on the phone in a group call, we were chanting Muruga mantras. are very powerful sound waves and because Muruga cares about the earth plane, he specifically mentioned when there's a natural calamity, you know, the risk of a natural calamity. So he takes care of the environment as well as you know, protecting us and giving us giving us victory in some kind of situation where we need to win. For good reasons though, we can't trick Muruga. He knows what we're up to. so we were chanting mantras and literally as soon as we said this mantra, I could hear the wind dropping. And then I would stop just to test it. I tested it at least 20 times, because I was very hard nosed back then. Even now I need evidence. then, so I would stop and hear nothing. And then the wind would pick up again. And so I started to chant again. and become. We didn't lose a tree or a branch. Maybe there was a little bit of something. The electricity was there. No damage to the house or the garden. street was devastated. People lost their electricity. Literally, there were trees down all over town. Power lines were down. It was like an earthquake, but most of my street was okay. Okay.

Katische Haberfield: 7:31

Yeah, that's amazing. Why, why do you think, why do you think that, do you, do you think, and do you understand that it's the continual chanting that is required? I mean, from my perspective, I've learned a lot through you. Before I, before I met you I didn't think that, You could approach this knowledge, this Vedic knowledge and these beings, unless you are Hindu or a, a yogi yourself. But what I've learned through reading your books and having you is that that's not the truth. You don't have to be, you know,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 8:04

are universal teachings. They're not religious. The, the rishis and yogis don't have a religion. They have universal teachings. I believe a lot is extraterrestrial, but they themselves have existed on the earth plane. In an uninterrupted lineage, the Siddhas of Tamil Nadu for 50, 000 years, and that is validated by various, you know, archaeological sites and histories of different branches of the Vedas, they all say the same thing. And we have pretty much historical evidence at that point, when you find the cities, you find the same stories and myths everywhere. This is a recorded history that was not recorded, that was either suppressed or lost throughout the centuries and millennia, actually. So yes, these beings are very powerful, and I believe what you said, that actually for just keeping an awareness of them. can be enough. But sound waves are very powerful because our brain responds. And we have lots of testing, you know, Harvard University, Harvard Medical School. My guru did teacher. I say guru because in India we call him guru, but he's a teacher. he has done a lot of research with various brain institutes in this country and also with Harvard Medical School. And our brain responds to those sounds. So we ourselves are protecting ourselves.

Katische Haberfield: 9:32

Mm,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 9:34

We are divine too.

Katische Haberfield: 9:36

yes,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 9:36

are celestial beings too. We have a physical body by choice, or by confusion. You know, sometimes it's Okay, I don't know who I am. Let me get this body. And we come back to have an experience. But most of the time, we can remember we're just light. So we can't protect. Look, a yogi can change the weather. There was a story, but it was true, a yogi was, had supernormal powers, he's a siddha, with siddhis, so the village people called him, village people, but the people from the, you know, the town, the leaders called him because they were having a long time drought, like one and a half years without rain, you know, there's no harvest. So they call this yogi and he said, I want to be alone in the, in the town. So I just need to be left alone. So he sent out everybody. They had to leave the village because his consciousness. could work only in the right environment. That's why meditation at night when everybody else is sleeping is so powerful, because their consciousness is not messing with yours. he, with his consciousness, he was able to make it rain, like within, I don't know, a few hours. And I know aborigines everywhere can do the same,

Katische Haberfield: 10:59

Mm,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 11:00

do have those supernormal powers. Yeah, our consciousness vibrates too, our thoughts vibrate. And it's not just thoughts, it's also state of beings, you know, state of being. yeah, the goddesses do the same, and now it's their time, because we have started the Satya Yuga, the time of the goddess, and is truth. we call it golden age. But really, what is golden? both of the blessings of a good material life and reaching our goals, and also the blessings of a good spiritual practice that actually you see yourself evolving, you know, like getting the things you want without struggling so much, and also understanding higher aspects of yourself. And literally, my books have been a great, incentive, because I had to write so many times, maybe I didn't want to meditate for seven hours a day, right? And also, it's an intellectual activity, theoretically, but no, something happened to me that my third eye would get open, I would start seeing the past, sometimes the future, just for, because I was writing about this book this God disease, and I didn't want to write this book. I resisted a long time. You probably read in the introduction. did not want to put that energy again because I don't go anywhere when I write. stay home most of the time and it's really a commitment, right? it is also an honor and also joy, but It's a lot of work. My body literally aches at the end of the day from typing and, you know, not channeling. I don't believe so much in, myself. Okay. I know there are great channelers, I prefer saying we are using our inborn capacity abilities to connect with the cosmos. That's what the yogis do. They

Katische Haberfield: 12:57

Mm, Mm,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 12:59

no separation from the, between the physical and the subtle. In fact, there is no separation. We create it with our perception, right? You

Katische Haberfield: 13:09

Mm.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 13:10

this is solid, this is solid, this is solid. Bone is a thing. No, that's not how it is. It's all light, energy.

Katische Haberfield: 13:49

One of the things that it's interesting because when I look at you and your social media and like your YouTube and everything like that, I do see beauty and grace and intellect and abundance.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 14:03

from you.

Katische Haberfield: 14:04

But what, what, what sparks me is, you know, like when I couldn't physically pick up your book, but I could read it on the ebook and I did read it is that, I guess because we have come out of the last age and we're now in the golden age, there's this part of us in the Western civilizations, at least I would think that is so used to the suffering that we say. At some level, I don't believe you that I can have all the things that you say I have, Lalitha. You know, we're still a bit in this, show me the proof because I don't think you can be beautiful and intellectual and abundance and spiritual all at once, you know? That's how the mind works a bit.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 14:45

to believe. I sometimes, we live in duality, right? So we experience everything in duality. However, it's illusory and even I sometimes say, okay, I need time to meditate. I need solitude. I'm so used to that. And I have had For various reasons, I've not been able to be alone for long stretches of time. My students, my clients, you know, my family, is all a blessing, but there was no time alone. And I was used to a lot of time alone. I needed it at the time. now I'm realizing, no, we are God. We're supposed to multitask. effortlessly, right? in and out of the body, basically, we should be able to do that. in this book, it happened. I did without trying, I didn't know what I was looking for, because I did not want to write the book.

Katische Haberfield: 15:40

How did you get past that? How did you get past the not wanting to? Hmm. Hmm.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 15:46

All these books came across, titles of people with the goddess word. And I said, finally, I said, okay, I've had a lot of mystery school teachings in different traditions of the goddess. I thought I do have an expertise in that. So let me, and then I would say, but I don't want to do the work. And then I would think, oh, but I had that vision. You know, for a long time, a long term vision, it's called yoga nidra, and instead of going into a state where there are no thoughts or whatever happens to most people, or you see lights, etc., literally saw the goddess and she took me through the cosmos. I didn't have words for the experience at the time, I didn't know about the wormholes. For another five years I didn't find out about wormholes, but she took me through these holes, vortices that had between black and light blue, and sometimes light and fog. And I would be in and out, and she would say, Look, this is the Sri Chakra. Everybody knows the Sri Yantra. It's the goddess. It's an embodiment of this goddess. I have a statue. Her name is Lalita Sipura Sundari, of course. Who else? then I have another goddess who is Meenakshi, and I'll show you Vesta, actually, because I didn't expect to find a statue of her. it's Alabaster. It's very pretty. anyway, these goddesses, I've had so many experiences with goddesses without requesting the, the experience, because now I would like to try it again, but I I didn't do it, just happened. And so I thought, maybe I can talk about that. But then I thought, no, I don't want to do the work. One mantra started playing on my iTunes. the mantra I listened to yesterday, you know, the day before. No, something I've not heard for years. I forgot I had the mantra. I thought this is extremely weird, but I know the goddesses, I know the celestial beings. Once they are nudging you for something that's good for your growth, and perhaps some help for the world. opens up. the doors open. Shortest time it took me to write a book. The first took me four years plus. then the second maybe one and a half years. And it was published when? In May last, 2024. So from May to the holidays. You know, like December, all it, oh, it sounds like May, December, you know, okay. So it was I sent it to my publisher, you know, Katie, like the first few days of January and that's it. And then it was published in February.

Katische Haberfield: 18:30

Yeah. I was surprised because there was no hint of it when we last talked. It,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 18:36

even I didn't know.

Katische Haberfield: 18:37

yeah,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 18:39

and time is accelerating for everybody. So that's the good news. This is not something happening to me. It's happening across the globe. To everybody, everybody is saying every time is accelerating, like I barely have time to do anything. Experiences are, had indigested immediately. Okay, for the first time I had this experience in meditation. So without effort, everything is happening to us. We're supposed to go to the fifth dimension. I don't know if we'll make it, but definitely the fourth. And the fourth is much subtler than this, than the flesh and blood body. So we would be like the astral body, right? So we would see probably ancestors, you know, departed ancestors, but mostly like higher beings. were still in the fourth and then they shifted to the fifth and sixth. I believe that's how it works. But if we're lucky, we get a light body.

Katische Haberfield: 19:40

yeah, that's right.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 19:41

don't mind the idea you can do whatever you want, including taking another body and then going back and,

Katische Haberfield: 19:47

Yeah,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 19:49

it's

Katische Haberfield: 19:49

yeah, and one of the things that we talked about, Lalitha, was that people might look at the title of the book, Golden Age of Goddesses, and think, oh, here we go, here's another women's thing,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 20:02

Exactly, a feminist, right?

Katische Haberfield: 20:04

yeah.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 20:05

me make a big disclaimer, this big, not because it's a bad thing, but I'm not a feminist, the sense I'm not an activist, I don't believe men are bad, per se, no, the other way around, I've always thought men were great, but I do have to admit, and who wouldn't, that women sometimes live in incredible hardship. They're suppressed and they're tortured, and more. I don't want to go into the gory details. We know what can happen through some cultural association or through some religion. It can be just a bad partner, can be a bad father. I mean, we have all had an experience when somebody was abusive, right? I've had it too. It's not pretty. So the feminine has been suppressed. It was not good for men either, because it doesn't empower men to be really masculine. It empowers men to be, when a woman is submissive and she has no freedoms, what happens? The goddess can empower the woman, because the self esteem goes way down. So it's not against men, it's the other way around. women remember that they are goddesses and they start developing higher self esteem, remembering that they have, and they're pure and they don't need to seduce all the time. They'll just become embodied the best of both worlds, The physical and the spiritual. so they can be more loving, more compassionate, and men are empowered that way because then they get to protect. Femininity, and they protect children in the earth plane, an idea that's to me the highest masculinity. Having that courage and strength and power to protect women, children, and the earth, and animals, why not? You know, every, every being, because it's a splendid planet. we have to take care of it. And I believe that real masculinity includes those beautiful qualities. So my own too. And in fact, a lot of my exercises, really designed for men, for example, when you want to embody a goddess, like the protective ones, like Durga or Lalita, who's very powerful. She herself doesn't kill demons, but her army does. You know, there are all these Yoginis who go around with all the weapons killing demons. And, and the color is red. She is represented with a red light sometimes and associated with both the moon, the full moon, and the fifth moon, but also with planet Mars. So there's both, right? Nurturing and protective and fiercely aggressive. So there's all that. So man can embody that Shakti. Shakti is a very big word in the Vedas because it means power and it's embodied by the divine feminine, not by the divine masculine, but the divine masculine as also Shakti. Through the concert, right? Because we have the duality.

Katische Haberfield: 23:24

Mm

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 23:25

There was no separation, it was a perfect union, Shiva Shakti for example. And so the Shakti meant is what? More loving. Right? Not so rational. Men sometimes have been taught to rationalize other people's pain.

Katische Haberfield: 23:44

mm

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 23:45

Why they can go to war more than women, right? block off all their feelings.

Katische Haberfield: 23:52

mm

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 23:52

necessarily crying, in fact, you see these videos on YouTube, oh, sorry, on TikTok, sometimes they're, I don't want to comment on them, you know, I don't necessarily feel that that's masculinity or femininity, but we all have our own ideas, that's fine. But a real really strong man means he's very compassionate. He can feel the feelings of his partner, his companion, right? His wife or girlfriend or whatever. then they can feel those feelings and go ahead and protect, you know, from harm or from being gaslighted. You know, because when a woman has been abused, even sexually, et cetera, a lot of people cannot deal with the pain. So they, they rationalize, oh, okay, whatever. I've heard horrible comments about this and that's not right. So a real man, they don't mock the woman ever. They actually feel, no, I'm here to protect her. And

Katische Haberfield: 24:56

mm

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 24:57

thing. Who doesn't like that?

Katische Haberfield: 24:59

mm mm

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 25:00

Mis are missing a point because, you know, they're not talking about the real masculinity. They're talking about the oppressors. And sometimes women are oppressors, so we cannot really judge all the time. However, There is a greater, you know, great majority of men who abuse and suppress women for cultural reasons usually, and they're useless. This culture at that level, I find them unfair to say, to say the least. we cannot evolve if that persists.

Katische Haberfield: 25:30

mm

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 25:30

I wonder if there isn't, if there isn't a group of individuals who want us all against each other. I know the dark forces want and women to fight. want children to be, alone, you know, um, neglected. They want they want us in trouble. And that's why now the, the powerful feminine, the Shakti, more prominent on the planet because it's called the Shakti Yuga. So Golden Age, Satya time of truth and Dharma, and also the time of the Goddess.

Katische Haberfield: 26:12

And what you were talking to me previously about is that Shakti Shakti is a union, but it's more loving, right? So it's when the, the male is in the divine.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 26:23

Mm

Katische Haberfield: 26:24

Shiva Shakti, sorry, Shiva Shakti. When the, when the woman is in the divine feminine and the man is in the divine masculine, then that produces a society, which is not patriarchal and it's not matriarchal. It's, how would you just, yeah,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 26:42

it's an enlightened like a golden age. What happens at that time? The women's Shakti is used to for see protection. It activates the Shakti of the man of the divine masculine. So there is a story that Shiva is inert and Lalita sits on his chest. She has the power, but when she rises. you know, and arouses him, not necessarily in sex, but as an energetic field. He becomes active, and together they dance the dance creation. And so they both protect and can protect and also create and destroy, because sometimes the creation comes and goes, right? We, we cannot have the same thing forever, right?

Katische Haberfield: 27:30

yeah, yeah. So how,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 27:33

with

Katische Haberfield: 27:33

how do, how do you recommend, so for example, I have two sons, and how do you, as, How do you encourage people to show their male family members, or to help them? Because, they need to have role models who are entering this divine masculine. Do you know any tools and techniques or are they alluded to? I probably glossed over them in the book. To help us both, either whether we're feminine or masculine, to embody those divine qualities so that we can be who we are meant to be. So we get that, state that we're all looking for.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 28:57

That's a beautiful question. I have two boys too. I am the mother of boys too. So I did my best. I'm sure I made a lot of mistakes. You can ask them. But I always taught them to honor women, right? the point that sometimes I would take the side of their girlfriends because I felt that those girls were not being treated properly. Or at least my, my, my kids are pretty good. people. But sometimes I felt, you know, you made a mistake. So you should apologize to her. And I took her the side of the girl. So I believe that helped them understand it's not just because you're my son, it doesn't mean that you should be doing things you're not supposed to do. And they should honor the feminine. Therefore, they were, they're very protective. Now they're both married. And they are very protective of their wives. I think that's wonderful, I didn't necessarily find that very often. A protective, strong man is really a beautiful thing, right? everybody happy, society safer, and children safer, and their wives safer. Even though women have a lot of power, Shakti, right? Shakti, so the power in the Vedas is feminine. It sounds weird, but. actually in all the ancient traditions, the goddess tradition, Vesta was very powerful. her, there was an area of the Roman region that's called the Sabina, and there was a goddess religion there, and the second king of Rome. Follow that religion to the point that he, he married this being that was called a goddess and she ruled over a body of water. And also in the Vedas, we have this belief that all the bodies of water, rivers, creeks brooks, and even the ocean, except for the new God, you know, the ocean God, Neptune, they're all ruled by goddesses.

Katische Haberfield: 31:07

Oh, okay.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 31:07

itself is connected with the divine feminine and the nurturing and the, and life itself, hydrogen, right? So that's a divine, and my teacher says hydrogen is God. the goddess also the nurturing, the nourishment, and the water life itself, right? Of course. She also needs the male and that's beautiful. It's a Shiva Shakti, a perfect union of soul mates that together they have infinite power. And I believe that's very beautiful. also can embody a lot of Shakti and I believe two men, you know, who love each other. they can have a relationship, and one will take the role more of the masculine, I believe, right, I don't know much about this, but, and the other will take more role of the Shakti. I don't know, but, so we are not just black and white.

Katische Haberfield: 32:05

Yeah. Yeah.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 32:07

However, I'm going to say this honestly to your audience, I do not believe in force, you know, new transgender people by going into schools, especially the primary schools and kindergarten, and advocating this transgenderism. It should be a choice for an adult and it should not be advertised in the schools. And I believe the Shakti right now, the Goddesses are very, they're very upset.

Katische Haberfield: 32:32

Right.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 32:33

felt that energy of Durga and Kali coming back because it's Satya Yuga. before we can have a golden age, we have to destroy what doesn't work. And I don't mean people who are and it's not about killing people or anybody, harming anybody, but standing by the highest moral values. And that's our job, right? Protect the kids. No, you don't even just, you cannot talk about God to a child according to some school rules, you know, especially if there are public schools. Why should they be reading books about, you know, father having a baby, give me a break. I think we're going to. too far with that. With all due respect, I think I would not want to see a world like that ever, especially with our children who are innocent and suggestible, right? So everybody should do what they want. I respect, you know, every belief, but it shouldn't be in harming innocent people. That's what I believe. So thank you for giving me a chance actually to say that, because there's so much in the media. Sometimes it's too much to digest

Katische Haberfield: 33:44

Yeah. I think it's too, too much for our children too, because my observation you know, is that boys, and this is not a blanket statement, but a lot of boys are feeling as though it's a sin to be a boy. Do you know what I mean? Because the, yeah,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 34:05

So happy to have two boys. To the point I believe I was intuitive when I was a child. My favorite doll and my universally most loved doll was a baby boy, a newborn, dressed in baby blue wool. You know, light, light blue wool with a little blue pacifier, you know, like sky blue or lighter even. And that was, I adored that doll, okay, so it was a coincidence, right, that I had two boys. So I kind of feel I was training myself. It's such a beautiful thing, and also a little girl, I mean, it's wonderful, right? And when she's an adult, she can decide whatever she wants to do with her life. And including her. you know, like relationships, etc. And I think there should be more respect to that. So

Katische Haberfield: 34:56

yeah, yeah.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 34:58

children, and delicate suggestible people who need to make up their minds, you know and be respect, more respect for children.

Katische Haberfield: 35:08

Yeah.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 35:09

what the Fierce Goddesses are bringing that energy of protection. They have added with all this. Not this particularly, with wars, injustice, slaughtering of Christians everywhere right now,

Katische Haberfield: 35:22

Mm.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 35:23

atrocities, but I don't want to go into that. But we know, you know, the world right now is in turmoil. But that's also part of the cleansing, unfortunately. So as we're experiencing the beginning of Satya Yuga, we're also experiencing the end of a very dark time,

Katische Haberfield: 35:40

Mm.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 35:40

Yuga.

Katische Haberfield: 35:41

And it's really interesting. What I find interesting, Lalitha, is that when I was reading your book, and we can go into this into a second, is that you had these very, very emotional visitations to your past life in ancient Rome, where you were a Vestal Virgin. And I have had many, many past lives in Rome. And I have always been. The male figure so far that I've found always been the warrior, the soldier, the fighter, the authoritarian, the leader, the, you know, the, the direct opposite to what your, your past lives are yet we're here. We are both in this lifetime, both as women, both. Yeah.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 36:21

We have another connection, right? You're so spiritual, so am I, so I feel we have a lot in common.

Katische Haberfield: 36:29

Yeah. But it's just funny that, you know, sometimes I feel like I am embodied as a female this time to heal the divine masculine within me. And that's why most of my past life visitations have been to masculine lifetimes where I've actually been very emotionally wounded as well as physically wounded, but it's been the emotions that have come out. And I do believe that that was to, in order for me to be prepared, to be sensitive and caring towards, My two boys by having two boys and understand their point of view, but also, you know, being a female so that I could respect that females have experienced persecution. And do you wanna explain your insights into your vest lifetime? I mean, that was quite incredible. Mm-hmm.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 37:18

something that I experienced the first time in 2003, I know because I was in a certification course. I was in this beautiful place that was like a Gurukulam. Gurukulam means a spiritual Vedic school. It was not per se Vedic, but the culture was. Profoundly yogic. And also there were various disciplines like Reiki and also like studying, you know, about Ganesha archetypes and chanting also. It was very beautiful and a lot of us and us. So it was really full immersion. And also we had a course in yoga therapy. So we had also like the best of both worlds. We had the Cleveland Clinic, orthopedic doctors who, who come to teach us about anatomy. So it was an amazing immersion. And one day I was very blissful. I was very happy after a lot of yoga hours and I was so peaceful. I was in Balasana, you know, that pose everybody loves when you're exhausted, forehead on the floor, you sit on your heels and you're in bliss. There you go. Your arms are open. And all of a sudden, as I'm in bliss, I see myself in Rome, ancient Rome. Didn't look like anything. I lived in Rome about 10 years before I moved to the U. S. And I, I had a repulsion to the Vesta Temple, but I didn't question it. I didn't ask why. I just know that all of a sudden I was in the U. S. Like what? 2004. I moved in 2000, uh uh, 1986. So I moved in 1986 to the US and never thought of Rome or the Roman Forum. And here I am in yoga class with a forehead, the glue to the mat, and I see myself in Rome. I knew that girl was me. Without a shadow of a doubt. And I was so scared. I was shaking from fear. And I saw what I looked like. And everything was very beautiful around. So there was no reason to have fear. shiny white marbles. Incredibly beautiful. And everything was pristine. And I thought, This is the Roman Forum, but it doesn't look like that. I remember what it looks like now. Gray, instead of marble, dust everywhere, a wreck. There's not much. And, and yet I could see the Vesta Temple. I could see everything around me. And I just know I was very scared. And when I came out of, of it, I cried. And then I thought, Oh my God, I was a Vestal Virgin. And I knew I'd done some boo boo. According to the Moors, you know, to the tradition of Esthels I was not supposed to meet with a boy. And even though nothing much happened between us, that was called incest. Okay, that's where the word incest comes from, a very serious crime towards God or the goddess. So, I had broken the vow. Even though, not literally, I did not lose my virginity, I was supposed to die. And so I knew that, that's all. And I never thought about it again until this book came along. Okay? And then I, as I'm thinking, should I write it, not write it, and I had a lot of synchronicities, a mantra playing on its own on iTunes. a goddess mantra that I've forgotten. all of a sudden I'm writing and I remember Vesta and I thought, well, maybe that's a good idea to talk about that time. So it's also healing. As I'm writing about it, a lot more information came and I could literally remote view the past without trying to the point once I was outside of my body and I could see above the, the temple. I do don't get to see that unless you're in the light, you know, in the astral world. So maybe that was a vision of consciousness. I don't know what it was. I cannot explain it. Or maybe it was after I passed away that I could see it so clearly from above. I don't want to disclose too much because I would like people to read the book. There's a lot of, historical evidence for what I saw, including my clothes. And I kept dismissing them because rationally they didn't make any sense, but everything was validated from the clothes to the building to the moldings on the wall, you know, like the structure of the temple, which I didn't know I could see it very clearly and also what was around in the, it. forum, because it was a time in which the vestal religion had been given more importance because one emperor, the first emperor Augustus, decided to follow the religion of the goddess with his wife. So, They put a lot of money in it, and they made it very luxurious. So I could see all that without even knowing why, and everything was validated, including the age of the Praetorian guards, and their clothes, etc. Oh my goodness, I didn't even try, but all this. Knowledge came to me, so we have a lot of abilities sometimes it's hard to, realize how much but I believe by staying open and by choosing to, to be, not only open, but accepting our intuition, which is, I think, a beautiful question you asked me the last time we were together, and I think Your viewers like to hear that, maybe. How do you increase your intuition? accept it. Love it. it. Expect miracles. Because with intuition, you also can create anything. Why? You will know where to go at the right time. And choose between two people or two situations. For three businesses, you know, you just be guided, you'll be guided all the time. So I also, I also had a lot of intuitions coming to me through, uh, idea to me was just an idea. I didn't know anything about her, Mary Magdalene, all of a sudden, I believe she came also when I was writing the book, this I can, so it's a little teaser in the middle of the night. really in agony during the day. Is this real? I don't want to write BS. You know, I really don't want to

Katische Haberfield: 44:00

Mm-hmm.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 44:01

So I kept questioning myself, but then historical evidence came through research. But then also in the middle of the night, before I went to sleep, I said, I prayed to the goddess and I said, show me the truth. Tell me the truth. Is this from memory or my imagination? I didn't want to dupe my readers. I don't. I have integrity in this kind of things. I try to have it all the time, but particularly in my spiritual practice. So in the middle of the night, I woke up as I'm drinking some water. I hear it from the middle of the bedroom. Memory! It's oh my God, it was a beautiful feminine voice, but it had a lot of authority, like sovereignty. It gives me the chills because there's so much power in the goddess and we have it too. think it's a good quality because we're not swayed by, you know, wrong ideas or wrong behavior, wrong people. really need to step into our power and our sovereignty. And I think that's what's needed for men and women right now. their sovereignty, they will not be abused. And men who are stepping into their sovereignty, they don't need to abuse women or children or the earth. So I think sovereignty is a major, major issue for us right now. We need to embody it. And the goddess gives you that authority.

Katische Haberfield: 45:28

Mm

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 45:28

So I had a little static and then reading books by Elena Danan, who is in touch with all these extraterrestrials from a federation. that's supposed to exist of all these different races, also intergalactic, very higher being, higher beings who have returned. They are celestial beings. she said that once she was talking to this, being from the ninth dimension, and when she came, to talk to her. There was some static metallic sound. I was like, that's exactly what happened to me. I was like, Oh my God, it was true. I was very happy. Of course it was a validation, you know, and also who was talking. I was alone in the room. turned on the lights. I was literally alone in the bed, sitting on the bed, drinking water. I knew that this was either another dimension. I don't believe it came from me, because sometimes we hear our intuition as a voice within, this was without, this was outside of me.

Katische Haberfield: 46:33

mm

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 46:33

and clear. So that's the first. things happened for this book that it had to be written.

Katische Haberfield: 46:40

Yeah.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 46:41

have a lot of love and I, I really recommend it because we need this kind of teachings right now.

Katische Haberfield: 46:50

Mm.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 46:51

right, in the West. India, no, even man can take the name of a goddess. There are a lot of men who are called Lakshmi in India and it's not embarrassing. It's normal. they have two or three names like Lakshmi Kumar or whatever, you know,

Katische Haberfield: 47:09

Wow.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 47:10

they

Katische Haberfield: 47:10

Interesting. Yeah.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 47:11

Yes, yes. It's not very common, but it's not, it's accepted. And also we know stories of like awakenings through changing name. So I believe that changing a name, adapting a very sacred name, we have a lot of power. We can embody that being. Because the frequencies, you know, you pronounce it every day and you write it too. you acquire those qualities. Name of a goddess. When I was in yoga school, I gave myself the name Sarasvati, because I liked the goddess of wisdom and the fine arts. And it just resonated with me, the whole tradition. But then my, my teacher gave me the name Lalita, and I totally loved it and always use it

Katische Haberfield: 47:59

Yeah. Yep. I know in the Buddhist tradition too that, people have different spiritual name once they take their vows. I don't know what it is. I haven't done it in this lifetime, done it previously, but

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 48:15

They initiate a new name because it starts a new destiny. It changes your life.

Katische Haberfield: 48:21

Yeah, it's very interesting. And I just like also to confirm with what Lelitha was saying that, you know, previously I had believed and I've totally changed this belief now that you could not, access, feel, or resonate with a past life unless you were, you know, like in a supervised yeah.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 48:45

To me, so it can happen to anybody.

Katische Haberfield: 48:47

Yeah, and it's, and it's happened, it's happened for me as well, so I just wanted to confirm that, you know, the more you explore who you are and who you have been and you are open to teachings and wisdom and you work with the different goddesses, with the angels, with the different celestial beings, the more you become certain that, that voice is definitely outside of me. And you can, can hear and connect, but you can also, in my experience for example, last night I had my own, revelation where I was finally given confirmation about a dual incarnation that I had, that I had researched and been drawn to. Five years ago and, you know, I had,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 49:32

Yes, there is a reason why you had that. Yes.

Katische Haberfield: 49:36

yeah, because I'd gone I had worked out the time period, the person, and then I went, it's either him or it's her, but I think it's her. And I went into a healing, into a spiritual teaching session and they went, you were him. And it was in front of the whole bunch of people and they all went, yes. And I was in that lifetime too. And then I said, But I think it was a dual incarnation. I think I was her as well as him. And,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 50:07

Possible. Yeah, it's possible. My Elon Musk is embodying two souls. One is Tesla and the other is, what was the other one? The other scientist. Of his time Edison. Was it Edison?

Katische Haberfield: 50:24

all right. Yes. Yep. Yep. Yeah. So I, last night I had that confirmation that I was correct. And because, I actually crossed over her because she had not gone to the light yet. And the reason why she had not gone to the light yet was because, she was learning about the balance between masculine and femininity. femininity and she had been observing my reaction to him and being understood as being him because I had a very strong emotional reaction and all the wisdom in the learning about His incarnation and what he was learning with love because she had actually married him. But the marriage did not get consummated. It was an immediately, they recognized each other's souls. And this part is not documented in history, but they recognized each other and they had a private little conference and they went, this can't go ahead. We can't consummate this. We're going to make up a reason why we're not attracted to each other, because we know that we're here to discover friendship. And so they had this. Historical reason for why they didn't get

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 51:35

What

Katische Haberfield: 51:35

consummated.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 51:37

ask? What time period was it?

Katische Haberfield: 51:40

This was, in the 14, 14. 14 hundreds.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 51:48

So that's the renaissance in Italy, also Europe, because all the artists came to Italy, went to Italy.

Katische Haberfield: 51:54

Yeah, but the interesting thing was that they were, they were very, very good friends and the, that the, I had this knowing and I can even picture, match my face with her historical picture and we look the same, but I can also match my face with his face and we look the same. So. It's, it's interesting. Just, I just wanted to confirm that sometimes you can feel like you can do all this research into a time period and you can say, well, I think I was this person, but am I influencing myself because I'm adding all this knowledge and it's not true.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 52:26

I did the research, names of Vestal Virgins who were executed, and I found a list, and because of the time period of it was like towards the end of it was like maybe BC or something, or maybe 30 BC, I don't remember. So, I read the names and one resonated, but I didn't want to, you know, trick myself into believing something. So I let it go because there was, there's literally a list on the internet of those who have been executed and those who, I don't want to say what happened to me, but it's not literally a happy ending, but it's not terrible. It's not a horror book. Yeah. It's really positive. Beautiful stories, actually, of all experiences I've had with different goddesses. With at least two goddesses I've had throughout the cosmos. I didn't know that was possible for me. I never tried to do that. The Holy Spirit is a woman. According to an ancient tradition, she's Ruach. And to my experience, she was a collective, different goddesses. So these are female beings. So the Holy Spirit, as we believe, you know, is not a man. is actually a goddess. And I don't know, our religion that's, you know, I grew up with Christian Catholic, but I was never, we were never told much about the Holy Spirit, and I felt there was a gap. That's why I never cared for the Holy Spirit. Although I didn't care so much about, for, for Jesus anymore, even though I loved him so much as a child, but he came to me in meditation I started six years ago, I jumped off my chair because he came three times and each time I forgot. And then again, and then, oh my God, and then again. So every time I forgot it was, I was in deep meditation with my teacher and a big group of people and group meditation is very, very powerful. yes, our personal practice is paramount, but being in group and praying in groups and meditating in groups is amazingly powerful and we can change the weather and more. We can make a lot of miracles for each other praying together. is the time to pray because of the changes on the earth plane, etc.

Katische Haberfield: 54:52

And I would just like to encourage people when you do read Lalitha's book, it is like an activation in my experience because you do pick up the vibration of the book.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 55:02

Because I never, know, it was very profound for me, but even writing it, but I never know, you know, what comes up across after. And I believe right now we need to focus on protection, Not necessary violence, protection of all the people who are not protected and the God is now. So there is a tradition, the in the Vedas, it says at the end of the Yuga, which is Cali Yuga, you know the last one. Then Satya Yuga returns. And Kali comes across. Kali is the most destructive of all. literally kills demons and she puts the skulls around her neck. That's not my favorite goddess to look at. You know, she has blood on her face and she has the tongue sticking out. She's like She's totally on a rampage, destroying everything to the point that her husband pretended to be dead. Shiva pretended to be dead to awaken her love. again, so she would stop destroying the, you know, the universe. And finally she stopped because she could, she became very worried about him. And so she kneeled and she was over him and thought she had lost him, but then she realized he was alive. And then her love returned and she stopped killing everything. She thought the world has gone too far. It's better to destroy it. So yeah, so now we have Kali, not because the goddess is dangerous, it's the other way around, she's restoring righteousness. So the demons need to be destroyed, basically, before we can experience Satya Yuga.

Katische Haberfield: 56:42

And the interesting thing about that, is that love is the most powerful force. And so, my wish for, for Kali would be to explore how she can transform demons because I know in my own spirit releasement sessions, I have taught. Clients, how to use love to destroy, not destroy, but transform a demon. So you, you,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 57:11

on evil because we don't have the right, I mean, evil at some point will evolve, you know, an evil being has its own karma. so we don't know which is which, right? But some demons need to die. Literally there is in the Ramayana and Mahabharata, all these epics, including the Bhagavad Gita. So we need to understand our compassion as You know, it needs to be channeled properly, and even the Dalai Lama calls it stupid compassion sometimes. So there is this divine king is an incarnation of the protective being, protects the earth plane called Vishnu. And his name is Rama, and he's a king, he is aware of his divinity in some traditions. So he, gives the demons another chance every time. So he warns them, you have done this and this and this. I'm supposed to kill you, but do you repent? And when there's no repentance and there's defiance and actually the demon attacks him, then he goes and kills him because he's invincible. He has all these weapons, you know, not only nuclear weapons and even more powerful than nuclear that we cannot even imagine. And all this technology existed 35, 000 years ago. So yeah, some demons just want to be destroyed. And as they're dying, some of them, in the death process and they became light and they entered the heart of the, of the, of the god of Vishnu. And that was beautiful to see, like the most demonic being who destroyed his own family, his own lineage, his own dynasty. It was so evil, he would not repent, he had the biggest ego. At the moment when Rama killed him, he went into a like light, entered his heart. That was beautiful to see.

Katische Haberfield: 59:06

yeah, that is beautiful. And is there any last cause we're at the top of the hour now, so I want to value your time. Is there any last thought that you would like to leave our listeners with today?

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 59:18

Yeah, so we need to awaken our supernormal powers, meaning just focus on your third eye. Just even the idea is helpful. your intuition. There's no mistake. We make mistakes anyway. I've never had, to this day, I cannot say when it was an intuition and it came with that, those characteristics, like an energy that was very gentle, very positive. I've never made a mistake. literally comes as a divine blessing. So it is really a divine gift, right? Even Einstein thought it was a very good thing that things came to him rather than studying and analyzing, because he realized that an analysis was not as powerful. The intellect is finite and also you know, it's like GPT. It's a fantastic tool, but information is put in, so it's finite, right? And we have more. Abilities than that and higher abilities and there's not. So my teacher was doing a lot of research in this field said that it will take us like 10, 000 years to make computers like human beings to have the consciousness. They it's not possible right now. I

Katische Haberfield: 1:00:36

Hmm. Very interesting. Well, I highly encourage everybody to head over to Amazon and get a copy of Lalitha's book and to go over to the.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 1:00:47

one more

Katische Haberfield: 1:00:48

Yeah, have you got the book there? Oh, no, you haven't got that.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 1:00:50

have it. I'm sorry that I'm

Katische Haberfield: 1:00:52

That's all right.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 1:00:56

It's called The Golden Age of Goddesses. So at least, I believe it's love, abundance, and, happiness, I guess, have returned. Can you believe I don't even remember? Once I put down a book, it's it never even happened. I didn't know what to do with myself for the first few days. And then I was like, Oh, okay, it's done. I don't even remember what I wrote. And sometimes I open it randomly. Did I write this? It was almost like it came from a different, dimension. It's very strange.

Katische Haberfield: 1:01:35

Well, congratulations once again, and maybe, you know, this time next year.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 1:01:39

Number one basalet in Australia. So you're good.

Katische Haberfield: 1:01:42

Yeah.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 1:01:43

U. S.

Katische Haberfield: 1:01:44

Yes.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 1:01:44

You

Katische Haberfield: 1:01:45

Yes. So maybe next time we talk there'll be another book that you've got no idea that you had, you were going to write. All right, well,

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 1:01:53

other things right now. Very exciting.

Katische Haberfield: 1:01:56

so much for your time today.

Lalitha Donatella Riback: 1:01:58

Seeing you. Wonderful. See you, Katische

Katische Haberfield: 1:02:02

thank you.
