        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 and Enlightenment Training with applied Absolute Teachings to 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.  She is intending to teach in Winterthur in October 7th through October 18th, 2010.  Email for details. 
 
       Three to 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. 
 
       Many people find Enlightenment Training a useful place to start in their journey here.  Shields and Dis-entanglements Training is usually first.  A Spiritual Astrology consultation is then often recommended, and next a private retreat or Enlightenment Training over long distance.
 
        Guruji 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.

         Often a private retreat is recommended before coming for an Enlightenment Intensive.

                                       Guruji's Personal Spiritual History
 
        Guruji has been experiencing Self-inquiry contemplation meditation full-time ever since coming off an Enlightenment Intensive twenty-eight 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, a little known Advaita Monism Practical Vedanta Guru in India, and was initiated as His first Western disciple.  After meditating there in His 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 in seclusion in the West.  Master Ram incarnated fully Enlightened and later asked to have His Consciousness reduced to tolerate growing up in rural Georgia until it was needed for His assignment.  He re-Enlightened in front of Anasuya Devi Amma, of Jillellamudi, India.  She also initiated Him into the Giri (Mountain) Order of Hindu Swamis, an ancient monastic tradition revised by Sri Shankaracharya

        Master Ram initiated Guruji as a disciple and then a Swami, and taught her in residence for two years.

        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.

        Her Vedanta Guru Blessed Her to teach Practical Vedanta in the fall of 1986.  Shortly after, Yogeshwar 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, 2008, and 2009.  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.
 
        In September, 2009, Guruji experienced a spontaneous energetic Blessing from Ramana Maharshi, Who spoke to Her in Her Spiritual Heart, and told Her that she would teach for Him in the West.  Ganesan, Ramana's Grand-nephew, and a Sage in His own right, said that He felt the Blessing while reading this report.  OM
 
        Guruji founded a new lineage, the Direct Enlightenment Tradition, and also carries the lineages of Swami Sri Master Ram, Yogeshwar Muni (founder of the Enlightment Intensive), Ramana Maharshi, and Jesus Christ.  She is also an ordained non-denominational minister. 
 
        Guruji has an earned PhD in Clinical Hypnosis, and was in private practice in Clinical Hypnotherapy for 25 years.  She now sees hypnotherapy as the zoom-lens aspect of Self-enquiry contemplation and uses it as part of the Spiritual process.
 
 
 

Enlightenment Intensive
Questionnaire, 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 and country where you live now. 
 
Following that, Guruji will make an appointment  to speak with you on the phone or on Skype if you are currently outside of the United States.  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 to Guruji@EnlightenmentAshram.com or call ahead and then FAX it to 928-649-3671, or mail it to Guruji Love, The Ashram of Enlightenment, P. O. Box 812, Cornville, AZ 86325.  Guruji will then contemplate about the next step and contact you by email or phone call. 

Due to a recent increase of new applicants as well as more Awakenings occurring within the Ashram of Enlightenment family, there may be a delay of some weeks before Guruji is able to respond individually to your inquiry.  Please be patient.  GOD is worth waiting for.  OM  Your turn will come.  OM

GOD Bless you in your Spiritual Journey and its completion.  OM



 
 Individual Retreats
 
        In consultation with Guruji, individual retreats can be planned and booked to  assist those who may actually Enlighten fully and integrate it in this life.  
    Guruji offers small group Living Satsangs, private Satsangs or spiritual consultations, individual Enlightenment Training, private retreats, quarterly Enlightenment Intensives, and Scripture study of the actual Teachings about Enlightenment coming through a wide variety of Sages and Traditions.  There is currently a waiting list for individual retreats of two to four 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.
 
        Outside Support Staff in nearby Sedona, the Village of Oak Creek, and  Cottonwood offer Homeopathy, Naturopathic Diet and Supplement Consultation with lab testing and Hair Analysis, Acupuncture, Network Chiropractic,  N.E.T., N.A.E.T allergy release, and Ion Cleanse Foot Baths can be a great back-up.
 
        Two 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.  Dharmasala retreat housing can currently support only one to two students on long-term retreat at one time.  This allows for more individual in-depth guidance and programming.
 
        Follow-up phone or Skype supervision is often suggested.  Current Satsangs will be available soon on the web site. 
 
        Retreat fees vary.  A two week retreat is usually $2,000.00 US dollars, plus you provide and prepare your own food.  Such a short retreat usually means condensing your integration time.  A three month initial retreat  fee is usually $1,500.00 U.S.  dollars each month, plus you supply and prepare your own food.  These fees include all of the Ashram staff support required during your stay here, as well as a private suite with private bath and separate 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 for that month.   
  
        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.
 
         All fees are non-refundable.
 
        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 vehicles.  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, yard work, and/or simple building repairs and maintenance.  Occasionally other services actually needed by the Ashram such as web site design, CD and videotape editing, and keypunching are acceptable service options. 
 
        Such service assists in grounding out extra high level 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.  Service is a standard practice in traditional Ashrams for good reasons.  OM 
 
        Please check under Housing for Airport Shuttle Service information and other valuable information to make your retreat a smooth experience.
