This site gurudevi.com is devoted to presenting the ancient Self-Realization path of the Tradition of the Himalayan masters and the Unascended and Ascended Masters in simple, understandable and beneficial ways. The goal of our sadhana or practices is the highest Joy that comes from the Realization in direct experience of the center of consciousness, the Self, the Atman or Purusha, which is one and the same with the Absolute Reality. This Self-Realization comes through the practice of Shaktiananda Yoga developed by ~Gurudevi, Satguru Shri Mahashaktiananda; in 1968; in the Ashtanga tradition of Patanjali Maharishi. Self-realization also comes through the study and meditation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Maharishi, the contemplative insight of Advaita Vedanta, and the intense devotion of Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra, the three of which complement one another like fingers on a hand. Shaktiananda Yoga teaches the classical approaches of the four major Yogas: Karma, Bhakti, Jnana and Raja Yoga, as well as Hatha, Mantra, Kundalini, Kriya, Siddha, and Tantra Yoga. Meditation, contemplation, mantra, the spoken word and prayer converge into a unified force directed towards the final stage, piercing the pearl of wisdom called bindu, leading to the Absolute. This is the path of the Self-Realization Shala Order; founded in 1970; in Canada by ~Gurudevi, Satguru Shri Mahashaktiananda. The goal of Yoga is for the soul (jiva) to unite with the inner Real Self (sva-rupa), experience radiant enlightenment and attain the ascension in this life. Great dispensations of light and blessings from God are delivered directly to students on the etheric plane in the inner Retreats of the Ascended Masters. The Unascended Masters also assist their students on the inner realms of light. These teachings represent the Masters of the Golden Robe and of the Great White Brotherhood; which stands for the white crystic light of the Christ. ~Gurudevi Ma is a Messenger for the Masters and serves the light of God in all life everywhere.
"Wherever we are, it is through the open door of our hearts, that we are loving others. Centered in our inner space, we are connecting our energies together to increase the higher light frequencies on earth and in the inner realms of light.
Every day we can begin a prayer to God that is carried with us through every breath we take and every step we make. There is a wave of energy that is carrying us along this Divine path." ~Gurudevi Ma
"The Supreme Creator is assisting us in overcoming all obstacles which stand in our way. The goal of all souls on the path of light is to connect with the One Supreme Creator for inner communion.

I offer direct spiritual guidance and initiation to sincere seekers with pure intention. It is possible for the student of Yoga to progress on the spiritual path very quickly with the assistance of the Guru.
The student having direct contact and initiation with an enlighted Guru is a great blessing. "Gu" means dark and "ru" means light. The personal Guru assists the student in understanding and overcoming any obstacles through the process of shining light into the dark consciousness. An example of this is the Lighthouse which shines out light so that ships may avoid obstacles that may otherwise have caused their ship to hit the rocks and sink."
Meditation
"The Guru also assists the student's awareness of their own inner space; which is pure soul consciousness. When this inner awakening occurs, the real journey begins. This is when the soul realizes it strongly desires to be united with God/dess. In this delicate time that the student is beginning to bloom like a rose, the Guru's assistance is very helpful." read more . . .
