Welcome to the Temple of Consciousness |
"Let the music of Love melt your Heart; let the presence of Divinity unfold in your Heart. This is the Abode of God." ~ H.H. Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi
We welcome you into our hearts and our community. Ashram life is dedicated to discipline, self-mastery, and serving the community. The daily schedule provides tools for spiritual growth and expanding consciousness. Living in the powerful Shakti of the Divine Mother enables one to witness and release what no longer serves. We co-create community, learning to love ourselves and each other, to be compassionate, to focus joyfully "in" the spiritual path, and to establish and anchor the Light within.
"Our community is a place of Trust in the Brother/Sisterhood Consciousness, a place of spiritual values, a place of faith, a place of gratitude to all Gurus or leaders, stepping in to this new grid – this new consciousness of collective divinity, of collective maturity. It is like a pilgrimage towards perfection where emotional healing takes place, where social healing takes place. We move into a place of resolution, a place of empowerment. An abode of consciousness, an Ashram, a Sangha, a community, where human dignity is to be experienced and we move into that nobility of the human race that we can all enjoy."
