Happy birthday Hanuman ❤

We offered Hanuman bananas, watermelon and a gluten-free organic peanut butter chocolate chip cookie this morning before singing Chalisas, offering Aarti & enjoying Prasad for breakfast 🙂

Hanuman leaped from the temple space up to the center of our kitchen island and we are loving the shift in energy.

Fly free with purest bliss David PA ❤
Tears of deep gratitude flow through my being as memories of our time together brighten my heart & leave me in awe of how precious life is.

The ways our soul friendship opened me & enhanced my mystical journey is beyond words. Especially from 2008 until I moved to Maui in 2012, our shared time was life-changing ~ a profound & precious gift.
And once I was living on Maui our phone connections were equally powerful.

From inviting me to play kartels & do a 5-state Midwest tour with you & Mira, to hiking in Topanga, to assisting your 2009 Kirtan College & touring FL, to coffee talk in Santa Monica, to tour time in Costa Rica, Santa Cruz & SF, the Stay Strong release in Philly, and to all our late night Clicks sessions, to all the beloved Bhakti communities you connected me to, and so much more.

But my favorite memory with you David PA was in May 2012 when I arrived back to LA after Maharaji had catapulted me to Maui to meet Ram Dass, and I had learned atop Prayer Rock in Kanaiao through a clear vision that Maui was my new hOMe. I got out of my airport shuttle at Philippo's house at 7am after a red-eye flight and when I walked in you were standing in P's kitchen with a twinkle in your eye and said, "Heyyyy Amulya Maa I just made some chai, you wanna have a cup and tell me all about your time on Maui???" ❤ ❤ ❤

David, you shared the big LOVE effortlessly on a huge & generous scale with everyone open to it. How blessed we all are that your Love lives on through our hearts.

I'm giving you 108 late night CLICKS on high to see you to the other side! (...if you know, you know 😉 ) ❤

Thank you Bhakti bhai, I love you.

Sending Love & deep compassion to Mira Tulsi, Sandra, Rhoni, Steven, Jade & all beloveds. Showering you all with Light.

❤ Thanks friends for your Birthday Blessings! I learned one of the most popular searches online about me is "How old is Amulya Maa?" Haha!! So I'll give it to you straight: I'm 49 today on March 17, 2024. Baba says no one really knows anything until they're 50, so I'm getting close! Lol.
❤ Here's a little note that Baba Bhagavan Das asked me to post:
"Today is a very Holy Day because the Love of my Life Amulya Maa was born! Please join me in wishing her the best blessings of all the Buddhas & Bodhisattvas!!The Light of my Life shines through the sky blue eyes of my wife Amulya Maa. She holds the space of Forever Love for me and I hold the space of Forever Love for her. There is nothing more beautiful & life-affirming to me than the pure love Bodhicitta Heart of Amulya Maa. She is the Jewel in the Lotus of my heart and a great grandmother wisdom keeper like no one else I've ever met except the masters. No one knows except me and our clients because I'm with her 24/7 and she's what's called a hidden yogi. I was trapped in a loop of self-indulgence & deception until I was truly seen & met by Amulya Maa's real love. She is my best friend, my upa guru, my ta***ic queen and a multi-armed Goddess who loves me in 1008 ways with her 1008 maha-loving arms!!! She is my maha Rainbow Wisdom Dakini Jalu Khandro the Queen of all Dakinis who sky-dances with the primordial Clear Light while fiercely slaying the demons of ego-clinging to release the shackles of self-deception & samsara. Real Love is rare but thanks to Maharaji & Amma I found it with Amulya Maa! Happy Birthday to my beloved wife Amulya Maa!" ❤

❤ Happy VALENTINE’s DAY friends!
❤ We began a 40-day silent* retreat** today, in which we’ll be doing copious amounts of Vipassana meditation.
❤ Our silent retreat will end on Holi 🙂
Holi is a popular and significant Hindu festival celebrated as the Festival of Colors, Love, and Spring. It celebrates the eternal and divine love of the deities Radha and Krishna. This year it lands on Sunday, March 24, 2024 ~ which coincidentally is Day 40 of our retreat.

* we will break our silence for client sessions and also for basic communication required to maintain our livelihood
** we’ll also post here as inspired

❤ (btw) VALENTINES DAY is our 5yr anniversary of when Baba moved in with me so it’s an extra special day for us. On Feb 13, 2019 we cuddled-up together all night in a warm womb of wool while a cold, wet, windy & muddy mess ensued during torrential tropical rains at a friend’s cabin in Huelo, Maui. When we woke at the brink of dawn Baba ceremonially wrapped my naked body in his Tibetan prayer shawl & joyously proclaimed “it’s our honeymoon!” (we had been courting the moment for a couple months) 🙂 We headed to the altar to sing 11 Hanuman Chalisas and afterwards we packed all Baba’s stuff back into the car & drove up Haleakala to my cottage to officially dive into the depths of this awe-inspiring 24/7 Ta***ic Love connection 🙂 (we are writing the book!)
❤ Grateful to share our JOY today as we walk each other hOMe ~ Giving thanks for this amazing journey of healing, transformation & liberation.
❤ Wishing you all Peace, Harmony, Ease, Flow & Grace today & everyday.

Compassionate Eating ❤ Baba Bhagavan Das & I are now VEGAN and loving it 🙂

❤ on Thanksgiving we were gifted a ‘pre-dressed’ turkey prepared by the #1 chef in Milwaukee. We popped it in the oven for 4 hours & voila!

❤ when I grabbed the chef’s knife to cut the 1st leg off, my heart wrenched with pain. Tears flowed down my cheeks. I stopped cutting.

❤ A memory of myself meditating by a tree at Harbin Hot Springs decades ago surfaced. 3 *living* turkeys were dancing all around me. As I deepened into my meditation, they joined me 🙂 Then many more sacred memories with animals came to heart.

❤ I called Baba to the kitchen & said “I can’t. I’m not eating animals anymore. No ‘meat’ no fish no dairy no eggs, I’m done.”

❤ Baba said “Ok me neither. I’ll eat with you.” A first for Baba in 78 yrs of living!

❤ I was vegan in my 20s for a few years & vegetarian for much of my life. And, I’ve been vegan most of 2023 again, since having a similar emotional response earlier this year with some homemade Italian meatballs.

❤ we are both ECSTATIC with the benefits. We feel it’s the best thing humans can do for optimal health, animal wellbeing, the global planetary crisis (on many levels), clarity of consciousness & to cultivate non-harming

❤ We encourage you consider the change also. Please let us know in the comments below what benefits you’ve received from

Full disclosure: current exceptions to our are my already purchased leather boots & purses, as well as local honey. But all else we stopped cold turkey, pun intended!

❤ May ALL beings be happy & free of suffering.

❤ Our shaman dog BODHI “WOO” MAA joins us in *every* online yoga-mentorship session we offer. At the end of each session, we sing a Hanuman Chalisa, and BODHI knows his cue - towards the end of the chant he jumps on my lap and the instant we sing our final “JAI !” he begins his “WOO”s. So sweet!

❤ Baba never knew Bodhi could sing until they moved into my Maui cottage with me. While I was offering a Craniosacral Therapy session, I sang an ancient Hawaiian Chant invocation - and while doing so, BODHI spontaneously jumped up on the massage table, put his paws on the client and began WOOing along with me!

❤ We have a sweet YouTube video of Bodhi in action, which I’ll post in the comments below 😉

❤ Baba Bhagavan Das & I are currently offering a holiday discount on online sessions - for all sessions booked now through the end of 2023. We also have a friends & family rate. Contact us through the chat box on our websites to learn more.

Some day, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity,… we shall fully manifest . . . the energies of Love. Then, for the second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire.
~ Teilhard de Chardin ~

For as long as space exists
And sentient beings endure
May I too remain
To dispel the misery of the world.
~ Shantideva ~

When our cups are full and Love overflows, may we share it forth as nourishment for all
through compassionate action
And may the light of Love
Illuminate the darkness
Amidst obstacles, pain & suffering
Keep the faith y’all
One candle can light them all
Love Is ❤

Giving thanks for the power of LOVE
manifest in the simplicity of this very breath

Baba Bhagavan Das and I have been feeling deep sadness, shedding tears and at times we are speechless as we integrate the horrendous loss, pain & suffering of those in the Gaza Strip. The ripple effects of terrorism, war and outrage are palpable. No doubt all beings around the globe are negatively affected by these atrocities to varying degrees.

It’s times like these when the rubber hits the road with the timeless teachings of universal oneness, compassion, wisdom and highest love.

Prayer is powerful & essential. But beyond prayer, what more can we do? Are we practicing patience, peace and kindness in our own lives? Witnessing the destructive effects of animosity ‘out there’ encourages us to resolve the ways divisiveness plays out in our own lives.

On Friday the 13th of the October dark moon during our Grand Illumination retreat, we lit our first fire of the dark season. As we stoked the fire with kindling & mantra, we called in and burned the elements of conflict and chaos that arose to be purified within our own hearts.

We were delighted to see a large blue orb appear above my head in the second photo. We took a brief video and there were orbs flying all around our living room that night! No wonder our 3 cats Luna, Asha & Gita were glancing all around the room.

Our prayers continue to flow forth for a grand illumination of all hearts.
May we each do our part to practice peace in our daily lives.
There is always further to go!

Oct 1, 2023 was our 3rd wedding anniversary! ❤ Giving thanks for this precious merge that continues to be the deepest & most vast love we’ve known.

This year was powerfully transformational. Much of what was not aligned with the highest love burned away and we are rising together like a grand phoenix-in-consort.

Nothing like a gigantic yearlong fire puja!! SWAHA AGNI SWAHA AGNI SWAHA

Yesterday we celebrated with a spontaneous day trip to waterfalls, rivers, beaches, mountains, lakes & colorful autumn forests.

The eternal fountain of pure love is flowing ever more freely to and through our hearts and we are sending it out to you! ❤

We have been increasingly elated in love & life lately with each other, with our fur-babies and also with our beloved clients during our online sessions.

And today we are preparing to host another Private Retreat guest who will arrive soon from Los Angeles and stay with us for 7 days.
Looking forward to another transformational journey!

Have you considered booking an online session or coming for a Private Retreat? If yes, please contact us through the chat box on our websites.

Here is a testimonial from a Private Retreat participant who came in 2022 and is coming again next month:

“Wanted to take a moment and express my gratitude and appreciation for these two wonderful individuals: Bhagavan Das & Amulya Maa. These two heart-centered love-filled beings have provided me with the most profound love, wisdom and compassion that I have ever received in my entire life. They have not only become the opportunity but the path itself to awakening deeper into the truth of who we are and revealing my innate awareness. They are my spiritual Mother and Father. My guides (physical / astral), my therapists and practically my life support. I owe any amount of progress that I have made spiritually and physically towards them, and of course the SatGurus. They are the lotus flower that has bloomed in the deep dark depths of mud in samsara. It is a boon in and of itself to have these wonderful Bhaktas on this planet. They are the gems hidden in the vast dark gloomy fields of America. They are the light at the end of the tunnel so many of us are looking for. The treasure that ends all searches. The fountain of infinite wisdom. They are the jewel in the lotus whispering to me ‘Om Mani Padme Hum.’ Jai Maa!”
