She is Radha - Chapter 8
She is in you. She is in me. She is in the world we see. As Radha, she is romance: flirtatious and enchanting. She is that playful smirk, teasing glance and charming smile. She is joy, cheerfulness, laughter and bliss. She is in the conviction that love is worth any pain, and the confidence that love is incomparable. She is love that is unconditional and unbroken. She is our ability to give completely, wholly, and forever. We see Radha in us when we boldly express our affection and as devotion, when our hearts love so completely. We see her in love that fulfils itself.

She is Lakshmi - Chapter 5
Lakshmi, usually seen as wealth of diamonds, gold, and pearls is also the riches of the Earth - minerals, metals, food, wood, and clay. She is our home. She is all our resources, and she is resourceful. She is the wealth of love that enriches our lives, and also the inner wealth of virtues and good character. She is all things we treasure. She is in you. She is in me. She is in the world we see. Lakshmi is in the potency by which we make things happen, our efficiency in action, our ease that comes with experience. But mostly, we see her in our acts of charity and altruism. She is also the sparkle of contentment, carefreeness, security and happiness in our eyes. We are constantly looking for wealth, maybe forgetting how much of it we already have.

Kali is freedom unhibited. A boundless force, she is always present in the moment, magnificent, spontaneous and open. How unbound are you? By your desires, by judgements and comments? She is in you. She is in me. She is in the world we see. We see her in ourselves when we dance with abandon or sing at the top ofour voices. We see her when we spontaneously rise to the occasion or when we successfully defuse tension. We also see her when someone appears both scary and inspiring at the same time.
