"It has been said that the path is sometimes a rocky road, so looking for the marks others have made on their upward journey will help you along the way. The journey along the spiritual path without a guide always leads to blind and overconfident egoism.

Lord Shiva and his Shakti give us the instruction and example for Self-Realization. In following the steps to self-mastery the devotee arrives at the feet of the personal Guru which is the reflection of their inner divinity. The relationship between the devotee and the Guru is bonded in sacred trust and devotion to God.

Souls which maintain that nobody has the right to tell them what they are to do on their path, as they themselves know it better - these are merely souls that have been chased into the darkest of blind alleys and led astray off spiritual development.

God has given us one religion, which is Love. It is man who has divided it into this religion and that religion. The many different paths to love God will all eventually bring souls to the same source, the One God."

                                                      ~Gurudevi, Shri Swami Maha-Shaktiananda 

~Gurudevi is internationally represented and her devotees are fully dedicated to bringing souls together to love God universally. The Guru is a mirror of the soul and is the devotee's connection to God through the Christ consciousness. Gurudevi is Vicar of the Christ and an anointed Messenger of God representing the Great Brotherhood of the White Light. She is a direct disciple of ~Guru, Premavatar Paramahansa Yogananda, who founded Self-Realization Fellowship in America.

~Gurudevi, Shri Swami Maha-Shaktiananda assisted her family and devotees of Premavatar Paramahansa Yogananda in developing the first Self-Realization Fellowship Temple in Canada in West Vancouver, British Columbia in 1968. She branched out and developed and founded the Self-Realization Shala Order™ in 1970. The teaching of Kriya Yoga has been passed down from Mahavatar Babaji; the Yogic master of the Himalayas; through his line of disciples that he has personally initiated. ~Gurudevi was initiated in Kriya Yoga directly from Mahavatar Babaji in 1970 at the age of 15 years old.

Her autobiography reveals that at this same period of time in her life, she experienced kundalini awakening and complete enlightenment. All of her life, she has recieved direction from God and messages from Elohim, Ascended and Unascended Masters, Angels, and Elementals. 

~Gurudevi is internationally represented and her devotees are fully dedicated to bringing souls together to love God universally. She offers direct initiation in Shaktipat and Shakti Kriya Yoga; the same Kriya as given by Mahavatar Babaji. She provides personal initiation for those upon request. Love donation only.

Ananda Yoga is a classical style of hatha yoga that uses asana and pranayama to awaken, experience, and begin to control the subtle energies within oneself, especially the energies of the chakras.   Its object is to use those energies to harmonize body, mind, and emotions, and above all to attune oneself with higher levels of awareness.  One unique feature of this system is the use of silent affirmations while in the asanas as a means of working more directly and consciously with the subtle energies to achieve this attunement. Ananda Yoga is a relatively gentle, inward experience, not an athletic or aerobic practice.   It was developed by Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi.
