July 2012 Newsletter

9 July 2012

Namaste,

Louix will be traveling abroad over the next couple of months, first to Egypt on a sacred pilgrimage to Mt. Sinai, and then to Australia to visit His Melbourne ashram, Sundara Aravinda. There will be a series of events taking place during Guruji's visit to Australia, including a public darshan at the beautiful BMW Edge, in the heart of downtown Melbourne.

While Louix is traveling, there will be many opportunities to receive His love at the various programs here at Prema Drala Ashram in Southern California. Please check our Upcoming Events for our regular study groups and our Become More Involved section for specific volunteer opportunities, including our new Seva Saturdays!

Special Announcement
Global Live Internet Event and New Membership Site

We are very excited to announce that we are producing a special live Internet-based event with Louix! This event will be held on 13 September 2012 and will consist of a discourse and possible Q&A on a very timely topic. This free event will be available to all, with a limited-time replay for those who cannot attend. Our aim is to reach as many people as possible, to gift them with a full experience of Louix's love, wisdom, and Darshan!

In preparation, we have been busily rebuilding the existing Louix.org website. We will also be upgrading the current live videoconferences into a membership site called Louix.tv. This new site will provide subscribers with 24/7 access to exclusive monthly content, along with our regular twice-monthly videoconferences. There will also be a community forum where people will be able to interact with other members, along with a variety of other exciting features.

To help us accomplish this goal, we are asking for your help. The budget for this event is $20,000, which consists of online marketing costs, website development, and necessary video equipment upgrades. This is on top of the hundreds of hours of volunteer time necessary to make this possible.

If you feel in your heart to contribute, and would like to help Louix reach the world via this special event, we are asking for donations. All donations are tax deductable. For details on how to make a donation, please click here. When making a donation, please specify that it is for the “Live Internet Event” so we can make sure your funds are allocated for this project. We thank you for your on-going love and support.

2012 New Year's Eve Retreat
now open for registration

We are excited to announce that the New Year’s Eve Retreat will once again be held at Enchantment Resort in Sedona, Arizona from December 29th, 2012 to January 3rd, 2013. It was such an amazing experience to be with our beloved Louix amidst the resort’s breathtaking nature setting last year—and due to overwhelming positive response—that we were only too happy to book Enchantment Resort again... and we are now ready for people to sign up. Just a reminder: this is the busiest time of year for Enchantment Resort, so space is limited. We are encouraging those who are going to join us to please register much earlier this year. Please click here for more information, or to register. We look forward to seeing you all there.

May 2012 Event Highlights

On May 12th, many people received the blessing of darshan from Louix at Prema Drala Ashram. Pranam played a beautiful set of music to accompany the event. One attendee was almost unrecognizable from the first time he received darshan from Guruji only two weeks prior. He was glowing and looked completely transformed. It was a miraculous evening.

On May 26th, Louix and Pranam led an Ecstatic Singing at Prema Drala Ashram, with thirty-two people joining them. The evening began with Peter DeWitt welcoming everyone and leading an opening prayer. Some of the song highlights included “By Thy Grace,” “Om Namah Shivaya,” and “Madre Divina.” Many people gathered around Louix, in a circle on the floor, joining hands and singing fervently. Crying and laughter spread around the room as Louix gazed into the eyes of each person.
