| Desc | ASHRAMSONE OF THE CORE PRINCIPLES OF THE LOUIX DOR DEMPRIEY FOUNDATION IS THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY. THE FOUNDATION CURRENTLY OVERSEES THREE ASHRAMS, RESIDENTIAL SPIRITUAL COMMUNITIES WHICH ARE BASED UPON AND DEMONSTRATE THE TEACHINGS OF LOUIX DOR DEMPRIEY. EACH CENTER HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE FLAVOR AND PERSONALITY. THEY VARY GREATLY IN SIZE AND LOCATION AND IN THE TYPES OF SERVICE AND SPIRITUAL TRAINING THAT THEY OFFER. DESPITE THESE DIFFERENCES, EACH ASHRAM OFFERS THE DISCIPLE AN UNPARALLELED OPPORTUNITY FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH WITHIN A SAFE, NURTURING ENVIRONMENT OF LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE.PREMA DRALA ASHRAM, LAGUNA HILLS, CA: PREMA DRALA ASHRAM IS THE "MOTHER CENTER" (WORLD HEADQUARTERS AND SPIRITUAL EPICENTER) OF THE LOUIX DOR DEMPRIEY FOUNDATION. WHILE RESIDENTS AND MEMBERS OF OUR EXTENDED COMMUNITY PARTICIPATE IN VARIOUS FORMS OF SERVICE, THE MAIN FOCUS OF SEVA (SERVICE) AT PREMA DRALA IS MAKING LOUIX AND HIS TEACHINGS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. THIS TAKES PLACE IN VARIOUS WAYS, WHICH INCLUDE PROVIDING PUBLIC EVENTS, CREATING PRODUCTS, AND ARCHIVING AND ORGANIZING HIS TEACHINGS. SUNDARA ARAVINDA ASHRAM, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA: SUNDARA ARAVINDA ASHRAM HAS THE DISTINCTION OF BEING THE FOUNDATION'S FIRST INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. LOCATED IN THE SUBURBS OF MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, SUNDARA ARAVINDA IS CURRENTLY COMPRISED OF TWO COMMUNAL HOMES. THE ASHRAM IS BLESSED BY A LARGE AND DEVOTED EXTENDED FAMILY OF THOSE WHO LIVE ELSEWHERE BUT WHO REGULARLY GATHER FOR BOTH SERVICE AND SOCIAL EVENTS. THE MELBOURNE CENTER OFFERS MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO LEARN ABOUT LOUIX, STUDY HIS TEACHINGS, AND TO HELP SERVE THE MISSION OF THE FOUNDATION. PRANA SHAKTI ASHRAM, HOBART, TASMANIA: PRANA SHAKTI ASHRAM IS LOCATED IN AUSTRALIA, ON THE SLOPES OF SACRED MT. WELLINGTON, IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF HOBART, TASMANIA. PRANA SHAKTI EMBODIES THE FOUR ASPECTS OF THE DIVINE FEMININE ESSENCE - GRACE, HEALING, BEAUTY, AND JOY. THREE ADULTS AND AN ABUNDANCE OF WILDLIFE SHARE A CO-CREATIVE, UPLIFTING, AND HARMONIOUS LIFESTYLE ON A 6-ACRE PROPERTY WHICH INCLUDES 70 ORGANIC FRUIT TREES AND A GREENHOUSE THAT PROVIDE A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST OF SEASONAL FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. THEY ARE REGULARLY JOINED BY AN EXTENDED FAMILY OF LOUIX'S TASMANIAN STUDENTS AND VOLUNTEERS. WHILE EACH OF THE 3 CENTERS HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE PERSONALITY, THEY ALL SHARE COMMON PRACTICES AND WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE AN EVER-EXPANDING GLOBAL COMMUNITY UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE FOUNDATION. THE FOLLOWING LIST SUMMARIZES THE FISCAL YEAR 2013/2014 ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR THE FOUNDATION AS A WHOLE.

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | HUMANITARIAN SERVICE THE FOUNDATION PARTICIPATED IN A VARIETY OF LOCAL COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS AS A WAY OF GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THOSE IN NEED. GRACE IN ACTION ONE OF THE MANY WAYS THE LOUIX DOR DEMPRIEY FOUNDATION EXPRESSES ITS CARE FOR, AND COMMITMENT TO, OUR PLANET IS THROUGH ITS GLOBAL SERVICE PROGRAM GRACE IN ACTION, WHICH INCLUDES GLOBAL CLEAN-UP PROJECT AND FORESTS OF FRUIT. - 29 SEP 2013: GLOBAL CLEAN-UP PROJECT - LAGUNA HILLS, CA CLEANING UP THE LOCAL COMMUNITY CENTER AND WATERWAYS, WE COLLECTED 28 BAGS OF TRASH INCLUDING A HUGE AMOUNT OF CIGARETTE BUTTS. - 15 DEC 2013: GLOBAL CLEAN-UP PROJECT - LAGUNA HILLS, CA CLEANING UP A LOCAL HIKING TRAIL GOING UP A HILLSIDE WITH BEAUTIFUL VIEWS, WE COLLECTED 27 BAGS OF TRASH RESTORING THE AREA TO ITS NATURAL BEAUTY. - 16 FEB 2014: GLOBAL CLEAN-UP PROJECT - LAGUNA HILLS, CA CLEANING UP LOCAL TRAILS AND WATERWAYS, WE COLLECTED 21 BAGS OF TRASH AND ENJOYED A RESTORATIVE DAY OF GIVING BACK TO MOTHER NATURE. - 14 JUN 2014: GLOBAL CLEAN-UP PROJECT - LAGUNA HILLS, CA CLEANING UP A HIDDEN OASIS ALONG THE LOCAL WATERWAYS, WE COLLECTED 13 BAGS OF TRASH, SAVING A LOT OF PLASTIC AND OTHER OBJECTS FROM MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE OCEAN. - 23 AUG 2014: GLOBAL CLEAN-UP PROJECT - LAGUNA HILLS, CA CLEANING UP BEHIND A CHURCH AND ALONG LOCAL TRAILS AND WATERWAYS, WE COLLECTED 25 BAGS OF TRASH AND ENJOYED A SOURCING DAY FOR ALL INVOLVED. IN ADDITION TO OUR FORMAL, ORGANIZED EVENTS FOR THESE TWO INITIATIVES, MANY PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE BEEN INSPIRED BY THESE PROGRAMS, AND HAVE BEGUN COLLECTING TRASH AND EVEN PLANTING FRUIT TREES OF THEIR OWN ACCORD. WE HEAR OF THIS THROUGH CARDS, LETTERS, AND CALLS THAT WE RECEIVE HERE AT THE FOUNDATION. GARDEN SEVA WE INVITED THE PUBLIC TO OUR ASHRAM GARDENS FOR A DAY OF ENJOYING MOTHER EARTH, DURING WHICH WE DO VARIOUS ACTIVITIES SUCH AS: THE PRUNING AND CUTTING BACK OF TREES, PLANTING FLOWERS, FERTILIZING, WEEDING, AND PICKING FRUIT FROM TREES IN THE GARDENS OF PREMA DRALA ASHRAM. DURING THE YEAR, THE FOUNDATION HELD THREE SUCH EVENTS AT PREMA DRALA ASHRAM IN LAGUNA HILLS, CALIFORNIA. INTERNAL COMMUNITY PROGRAMS RESIDENTS OF ALL OUR CENTERS PARTICIPATE IN DAILY GROUP ACTIVITIES THAT FOSTER SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND DEEPEN OUR SENSE OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY. IT IS THROUGH OUR LIFE EXPERIENCES AND CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LOUIX TEACHES US TO MASTER THE ART OF SELF-INQUIRY, AND TO UNDERSTAND AND MASTER THE LAWS OF CAUSE AND EFFECT. THUS, THE EXPERIENCES OF OUR DAILY LIVES ARE A CRUCIAL PART OF OUR TRAINING. IN ADDITION TO OUR DAILY ACTIVITIES, THERE ARE WEEKLY, MONTHLY, BI-MONTHLY, QUARTERLY, AND ANNUAL PROGRAMS THAT SERVE TO UPLIFT, INSPIRE, AND MOVE US INTO DEEPER UNION WITH EACH OTHER AND ASSIST US IN ATTAINING GREATER SELF-MASTERY. DAILY PROGRAMS - MORNING MEDITATION RESIDENTS AND THOSE CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE ASHRAM GATHER AT ONE OF THE ASHRAM HOMES FROM 5:00 - 6:00 A.M. (5-DAYS PER WEEK AS A COMMUNITY, PRIVATE MEDITATIONS ON SUNDAY). - DAILY SERVICE (SEVA) THROUGHOUT THE DAY, VARIOUS FORMS OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE ARE PERFORMED BY ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND THOSE CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE ASHRAM. THIS SERVICE INCLUDES MANY ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS, DOMESTIC DUTIES, AND MAINTENANCE OF THE ASHRAM GROUNDS AND FACILITIES. WEEKLY PROGRAMS - SATURDAY MORNING PUJA RESIDENTS GATHER AT 6:30 A.M. FOR A PUJA (CEREMONY) AND MEDITATION, WHICH IS FOLLOWED BY AN HOUR OF YOGA. - COMMUNITY MEALS ALTHOUGH RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITY FREQUENTLY EAT TOGETHER, ONCE A WEEK THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY GATHERS FOR AN EVENING MEAL. THE MEAL IS OFTEN FOLLOWED BY DEVOTIONAL SINGING, SHARING OF LILAS (STORIES), SERVICE, OR SOME OTHER ACTIVITY. LOUIX ATTENDS MANY OF THESE, AND WILL OFTEN DELIVER DISCOURSES AND/OR OFFER GUIDANCE/COUNSEL TO THE MANY RESIDENTS AND GUESTS IN ATTENDANCE. MONTHLY PROGRAMS - DISCIPLE TRAINING THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY (BY INVITATION ONLY) FOR THOSE IN LOUIX'S MOST ACCELERATED TRAINING PROGRAM TO RECEIVE DIRECT GUIDANCE AND TENDERING FROM THE MASTER IN AN INTIMATE SETTING WHERE HE CAN ADDRESS AND ASSIST ONES TO MOVE INTO GREATER MASTERY IN ALL AREAS OF THEIR LIVES. IT ALSO OFTEN INCLUDES DEVOTIONAL SINGING AND SACRED CEREMONIES. THESE ARE ALSO BROADCAST LIVE TO THE FOUNDATION'S ASHRAMS AND CENTERS AROUND THE GLOBE. - SATSANG THE COMMUNITY GATHERED FOR SATSANG TO CELEBRATE OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND FOR GOD. THESE CELEBRATIONS TAKE MANY FORMS, INCLUDING: DEVOTIONAL SINGING, MEDITATIONS, GARDEN SERVICE, COMMUNITY DISCUSSION, SHARING OF ANECDOTES FROM OUR TRAINING, AS WELL AS LISTENING TO AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDINGS OF LOUIX'S TEACHINGS. ANNUAL PROGRAMS WITH MINOR DIFFERENCES, THE FOUNDATION'S CENTERS OBSERVE A VARIETY OF HOLIDAYS AND HOLY DAYS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THIS YEAR OUR CEREMONIES AND CELEBRATIONS INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: AUTUMN EQUINOX, WINTER SOLSTICE, THREE-DAY CELEBRATION OF LOUIX DOR DEMPRIEY'S BIRTHDAY, NEW YEAR'S EVE, ALL HALLOWS EVE, SHIVARATRI, GENSESHA CHATURTHI, THE DIVINE ROMANCE, ANNIVERSARY OF LOUIX'S ENLIGHTENMENT, CELEBRATION OF SPRING/EASTER, CHRISTMAS, 4TH OF JULY, GURU PURNIMA, PRAYER CIRCLES, DEVOTIONAL SINGING, WESAK, AND EARTH DAY. OTHER COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE VARIOUS FOUNDATION COMMUNITIES PRACTICE PRANAYAMA, A SACRED BREATHING EXERCISE LOUIX TEACHES FOR MOVING INTO HIGHER STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS. IN ADDITION, COMMUNITIES SOMETIMES GATHER FOR MOVIE NIGHT, WITH LOUIX OFFERING POWERFUL INSIGHTS ABOUT THE FILMS BEING SCREENED. PRODUCTS PRODUCED NO NEW PRODUCTS WERE RELEASED THIS FISCAL YEAR. INSTEAD OUR PRIMARY FOCUS HAS REMAINED ON DIGITIZING AND ARCHIVING LOUIX'S VAST LIBRARY OF TEACHINGS WHICH ARE IN DANGER OF BEING LOST DUE TO THE DETERIORATION OF OLD ANALOGUE VIDEO AND AUDIO TAPES. FOUNDATION PURCHASES THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF MANY PEOPLE, THROUGH BOTH TITHING AND DONATIONS, HAS HELPED US TO PURCHASE SOME MUCH-NEEDED EQUIPMENT. THIS YEAR WE REPLACED SOME OF OUR COMPUTERS, PURCHASED A SECOND NAS (RAID ENABLED HARD-DRIVE STORAGE SERVER) FOR ARCHIVING OUR LIBRARY OF TEACHINGS, BOUGHT NUMEROUS NTSVC/PAL FORMAT VIDEO PLAYERS AND CONVERTERS FOR DIGITIZING OLD VIDEOS, AND CONVERTED A WALK-IN CLOSET INTO A SERVER ROOM WHICH INCLUDED THE PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT AND AN AIR CONDITIONING UNIT TO KEEP IT TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED. PR AND MARKETING THIS FISCAL YEAR LOUIX'S TEACHINGS WERE PUBLISHED IN THE FOLLOWING PUBLICATIONS: - AUGUST 2013: OMTIMES MAGAZINE- ASHEVILLE, NC THIS ONLINE MAGAZINE PUBLISHED LOUIX'S ARTICLES SURRENDER AND HOW DOES ONE PRACTICE HEALTHY SEXUALITY? - OCTOBER 2013: OMTIMES MAGAZINE- ASHEVILLE, NC THIS ONLINE MAGAZINE PUBLISHED LOUIX'S ARTICLE THE SACREDNESS OF MEALS. - FEBRUARY 2014: OMTIMES MAGAZINE- ASHEVILLE, NC THIS ONLINE MAGAZINE PUBLISHED LOUIX'S ARTICLE HOW TO DISCOVER TRUE SELF-LOVE. - MARCH 2014: OMTIMES MAGAZINE- ASHEVILLE, NC THIS ONLINE MAGAZINE PUBLISHED LOUIX'S ARTICLE THE CAUSE OF MY EMOTIONS. - APRIL 2014: OMTIMES MAGAZINE- ASHEVILLE, NC THIS ONLINE MAGAZINE PUBLISHED LOUIX'S ARTICLE THE PAIN IS TOO GREAT - I WANT TO GO "HOME". - JULY 2014: OMTIMES MAGAZINE- ASHEVILLE, NC THIS ONLINE MAGAZINE PUBLISHED LOUIX'S ARTICLE COMMUNING WITH YOUR INNER CHILD - AUGUST 2014: OMTIMES MAGAZINE- ASHEVILLE, NC THIS ONLINE MAGAZINE PUBLISHED LOUIX'S ARTICLE TRUSTING YOUR INTUITION VS. OBEYING THE GURU. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE FOUNDATION PRODUCED POSTCARDS TO ADVERTISE EVENTS WITH LOUIX, AS WELL AS PURCHASING MAGAZINE ADVERTISING PRIOR TO EVENTS. THIS YEAR THERE WAS LESS PR AND MARKETING, AND MOST OF OUR EVENTS WERE IN-HOUSE BECAUSE OUR FOCUS WAS ON RESTRUCTURING THE FOUNDATION. SERVICE AND STUDY PROGRAM MANY PEOPLE (OFTEN FROM OVERSEAS) HAVE COME TO PREMA DRALA ASHRAM IN ORDER TO STUDY WITH LOUIX. THE WISDOM, HEALING, AND GROWTH ONE GAINS BY AN EXTENDED STAY AT PREMA DRALA CAN LAST A LIFETIME. IN ADDITION, OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY ENJOYS SPENDING TIME AND SHARING OUR LIVES WITH THEM. THREE PEOPLE CAME TO PREMA DRALA THIS YEAR AS A MEANS OF INTENSIFYING AND ACCELERATING THEIR EDUCATION AND SPIRITUAL TRAINING. |
