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 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.

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.

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.

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.
