Guruji Grace Love is a Practical Advaita Monism
Vedanta Guru who transmits high level Samadhi Shaktipat. She specializes in assisting in the adjustment to and integration of higher levels of Samadhi and Awakenings.
Guruji offers Living Vedanta Satsangs with applied
Absolute Teachings to intermediate and advanced seekers on how to
uncover their own direct experiences of Consciousness and integrate
them into Western life, and gives subtle energy transmissions for both.
She directs Dharmasala Retreat Center, a rare residential opportunity
for Advaita Monists in North America, Europe and India, and one of the
few Ashrams in the world offering individual support direct and live by
the founding Sage, and in Western English, Her native language.
Guruji offered Satsangs and a retreat at the June 2006 Rainbow Spirit
Festival in Baden-Baden, Germany and in Winterthur Switzerland.
Guruji will likely be giving Satsangs and a retreat in
Winterthur again in September of 2008. Watch this web site for details
and registration.
Four times a year the Ashram is closed to the public
while Guruji offers this residential Five Day Enlightenment Intensive,
usually in January, April, July, and October.
She recommends that people coming for the
Enlightenment Intensive where possible come for at least a total of two
and a half to three weeks, with some days before and after the
Intensive, to allow time for clearing, adjusting to the dyad and Ashram
Energy and to allow for integration following Direct experience.
Extra housing and consultation fees will be involved in the case of
longer stays.
Guruji has
been experiencing Self-inquiry contemplation meditation full-time ever
since coming off an Enlightenment Intensive twenty-six years ago, and
trained in contemplation meditation and staffing Intensives for a year
with an Enlightenment Master in the Toronto area.
Next she meditated six hours daily in the St.
Helena, CA Ashram as a residential Nivritti supervised directly by
Yogeshwar Muni for six months. While there, she took the
Enlightenment Masters Training under Skanda, and the first Six Week
Enlightenment Intensive under Satya.
An internal experience of Shiva, the Enlightening
aspect of the GODHead, instructed her to come to India. She moved there
on a one-way ticket.
Six weeks later, she met her
first Enlightened Guru, Advaita Monism Practical Vedanta Saint Sri Asaramji Bapu,
and was initiated as His first Western disciple. After meditating
there in His Sabarmati, Gujarat Ashram for nine months, she returned to
the United States to assist in His first teaching tour.
Shortly after returning, she met Swami Sri Master
Ram, now of Vancouver, Washington. Swamiji initiated Her as a
disciple and then monk in the ancient Giri (Mountain) Order, an ancient
monastic tradition later revised by Sri Shankaracharya.
After a significant spiritual Awakening in July 1986
the GODHead Energy Presence Within asked,
"Will you be a Guru for Me and Love My children?"
Three days later, Shaktipat energy to transmit
Blessings for spiritual experiences and high levels of vibration
(Samadhi) appeared spontaneously.
Saint Sri Asaramji Bapu Blessed Her to teach
Practical Vedanta. Shortly after, Yoseshwar Muni Blessed Her to
lead a spontaneous version of the Enlightenment Intensive. Dr.
Jack Bruns ordained Her as a non-denominational minister.
Guruji had further Awakenings in 1988, 1995, 2002,
2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. She has written twenty books
about the Enlightening process.
Swami Sri Master Ram has called Her a Boddhisatva of
Grace. Vedic Astrologer Andrew Foss has said that She has a
siddhi (power) to heal the human Heart. Bhagavan Swami Sri
Atmananda of Tiruvannamalai, India (www.satyachetana.org) has said of
Guruji that finally He has met in the West one Enlightened Master Who
is fulfilling all the marks.
Guruji founded a new lineage, the Direct
Enlightenment Tradition, and also carries the lineages of Swami Sri
Master Ram, Saint Sri Asaramji Bapu (www.ashram.org), Yogeshwar Muni
(founder of the Enlightment Intensive), and Jesus the Christ.
Enlightenment Intensive
Questionaire, Agreement, Contract, Packing
If
you are interested in applying to come to Satsang, the Enlightenment
Intensive, or an individual retreat, the first step is to send an email
to Guruji at guruji@enlightenmentashram.com to describe a little about
yourself, your meditation format and frequency, your most recent
spiritual experiences, and why you are moved to come at this time.
Including your astrological data at the same
time can be helpful for Guruji to determine if you have a natural
connection here and if it is right timing to come for your spiritual
progress. That includes your full name, city and country of
birth, exact time of birth (if you are not certain, look on your birth
certificate or ask a living relative if possible), and the city where
you live now.
Following that, Guruji will make an
appointment to speak with you on the phone. If it is
appropriate to proceed, you may click on Questionnaire just above, and
complete it. If you are moved to proceed, you may email it
or FAX it to 928-649-3671. Guruji will then contemplate about the
next step and contact you by email or phone call. GOD Bless you
in your Spiritual Journey and its completion. OM
In
consultation with Guruji, individual retreats can be planned and booked
to support where you are in your spiritual process. Priority is
on assisting those who may actually Enlighten fully and integrate it in
this life.
Guruji
offers small group Satsangs, private Satsangs, private retreats,
quarterly Enlightenment Intensives, Scripture study of the actual
Teachings about Enlightenment coming through a wide variety of Sages and Traditions, and individual
specific spiritual instruction. There is currently a
waiting list of two to twelve weeks to four months, as Her time
and Energy is precious, and space is limited to maintain quality. She and other support staff offer technical and intuitive processes as well as other elements from
The Destiny PlayShop, The Course for Courage, clearing through Movies,
Astrology for Destiny and Location, Spiritual Means healing, Energy
Shields and the Disentanglement Exercises and Psychic Plug Removals, Reiki, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Past Life Clearing Training, Young Living Oils aromatherapy, Raindrop Therapy aromatherapy treatments, The Yogurt Treatment, Pancha Karma treatments, and N.E.T emotional or sabateur release.
Three weeks, one month to three
months, and sometimes six month residential retreats are usually
recommended for such programs and their integration before your
re-entry into regular life. Some stay longer. Only
one to two students are on long retreat at one time. This allows
for more individual indepth guidance and programming.
Follow-up
phone or Skype supervision is often suggested. Current Satsangs
will be available soon by download.
Retreat fees vary. A one to
three month initial retreat fee is usually $1,500.00 U.S.
dollars a month, plus you supply and prepare your own food. This
fee includes all of the Ashram staff support required during your stay
here, as well as a semi-private room, a shared bath and kitchen
facilities with your own refrigerator. Scripture books are extra,
as well as any services you require outside of Ashram staff and off
Ashram premises, and transport to get to and from those
appointments.
If your stay includes an Enlightenment Intensive,
the usual additional $1,200.00 applies.
Return
retreats are usually $1,200.00 a month for the same facilities, plus a
reduced fee of $750.00 for any Enlightenment Intensive taken while here
during this longer stay.
Longer-term residence involves similar fees. The usual
residential fee for retreat housing and supervision is $1,200.00 a
month, and $750.00 for each Enlightenment Intensive taken while in
residence. Because so few residential rooms are available, and
Ashram expenses have to be covered, this fee is seldom reduced.
The Ashram of Enlightenment is not financially
subsidized by any larger organization. All fees go to cover
actual Ashram and Retreat Center expenses. As all of our staff
are Swamis (monks), none receive salaries from Ashram
programs. Fees and donations to the Ashram make your
stay here possible. You are joining others who have come
here from around the world to take advantage of this rare
opportunity. In Reality, this is a Blessing beyond price.
Guruji's
focus is to transmit Enlightenment and support integration.
We ask those to pay fees who are able and moved to do so. We have
found over the years that most have found spontaneously a way to do
so. Very occasionally, a partial work/study arrangement can be
made in exchange for a service the Ashram actually requires.
No one who has ever been meant to be here has been refused. However, because we are providing this service in the West, and
are a Federal 501 C (3) organization, we are required to meet
Federal, State, and County standards to maintain our facilities, and
insurances. Our equipment supports the production of our
Scripture books, CDs, and DVDs. Your fees pay for us to be able
to provide both the programming and products provided.
All is for GOD and His Glory, including the Enlightenment that comes out of this service.
Everyone
coming on retreat is also asked to offer service of 10 - 20 hours a
week, doing housework, yardwork, simple building repairs and
maintenance. Occasionally other services actually needed by the
Ashram such as web site design, CD and videotape editing, are
acceptable service options. Such service assists in grounding out
extra energy you are opening to, burning off old karma, and to learn
how to cook, clean, and maintain yourself and your possessions safely
and wisely in Samadhi. It also prepares you for a life of
functioning and service following Enlightenment.
Please
check under Housing for Airport Shuttle Service information and other
valuable information to make your retreat a smooth experience.
