Review for Shree Maharishi Bhrigu Ashram, Trabuco Canyon, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The 10th Annual Meditation Retreat 2016

The 2016 retreat was very blissful and gave me the extra recharge and motivation to continue on the spiritual path. The daily satsang a reminded me of how blessed we are to have the guidance of Guruji Shree Sanjayji and Guruma Shreemati Dolmaji to have the rare opportunity to be in a spiritual environment. It felt wonderful to be surrounded with such positive vibrations and energy. It also felt really nice to be part of a large spiritual parivaar where everyone was laughing, praying, meditating together as one big family. It was nice to hear everyone share their experiences as well

The evening havan at the retreat was amazing and put my mind at ease and at peace. It was amazing to see the divine miraculous event take place where we saw the divine image emerging from the fire as seen in one of the photos from the Havan. Felt very blessed to be able to participate in this

Gurumas scrumptious food was delicious as always and really enjoyed the savory meals!

Guruji shared more divine knowledge of Ayurveda to remind us to live a healthy lifestyle so we can grow more spiritually.

It was fun to see the kids enjoy and interact during the retreat. None of them wanted to leave on the last day! It was fun watching them interact during the "kids quiz time" and "adult quiz time" on the last day of the retreat

The retreat reminded me of what is important and that despite all distractions of daily life, to keep God first place. It gave me the motivation to keep fighting and to wake up and try harder to improve myself and meditate.

Thank You Guruji and Guruma for tirelessly and lovingly guiding us towards the right path

Humbly bowing down at Thy feet. Om ji

Om Ji
Humbly bowing down at the lotus feet of Guruji and Guruma

Trying to search for the words to express my gratitude for all the blessings that Guruji and Guruma have bestowed on me since connected in 2006. At that time, was in my early twenties; confused and lost about life’s purpose and where I was going. Connected with Guruji and Guruma through a dear friend of mine who was going through a tumultuous time after losing her father.

The satsanga, guidance and unconditional love that they have given me as well as others is priceless. All that can be said, is that life would be utterly meaningless and empty without them. They have blessed me in so many ways. Looking back at the life before meeting them, and through their grace, life now, I know that I could never go back to what was before. They have poured me with unconditional love even as I had sat before them with all my faults, failures and shortcomings exposed. Being in their presence, it felt so peaceful and felt protected from the negativity surrounding me. Felt a pull towards them both and did not understand what it was at the time

Guruji and Gurumata have also helped me to have confidence, and believe in myself; something I struggled with growing up. When through His grace was blessed to receive Kriya Yoga initation, felt an inner calm and tranquility that had never experienced before. Friends, family, and coworkers also started noticing subtle changes in me as well. I started reacting less to things that used to really bother me.

Guruji and Gurumata have treated me like their own daughter. Knew in my heart that they will always be there for me, and They always have been. So many times had gone to the ashram with emotional outbursts, sobbing like a child for my wordly problems and They never shut the door on me; not once. They have been with me through everything; thick and thin. When there was nowhere to go, and when felt like there was nobody that could go to, knew that Guruji and Guruma was always there for me

Guruji and Guruma have guided on so many things; spiritually and also on everyday mundane things.. They have guided us and led us to the right path through their own example. Their strong faith and surrender for their Param Guru, Shree Maharishi Bhrigu, and their firm conviction in Him, through any ups and downs, have given us an example to abide by. I was also blessed to meet Babaji in Haridwar in 2013, and saw firsthand how Guruji, Guruma, and Babaji would beautifully interact and speak with each other; it really showed me what a true Guru-disciple relationship should exemplify. Guruji and Guruma are in constant communication with Babaji and Babaji has placed her divine hand on Bhrigu ashram and has guided and blessed all of the ashram activities.
They are living examples on how one can be established in the spiritual path without forsaking their worldly duties and responsibilities

Along with the satsanga and meditation, the Bhrigu Divine Naadi readings that have taken place at the ashram have been miraculous. In 2010, there was a Bhrigu Divine naadi reading about my marriage. Was also blessed with a gemstone at that time. The conches showed number seven. It had come that marriage would happen after December 15th, 2010. At the time, was speaking to now husband Auro, and just had met him one month before the reading came. Had not told him about the reading at that time, and shortly after the reading, Auro had said he wanted to meet me again. Due to a snowstorm in DC, he flew in to see me after December 15th. At the time, he met my parents, and they had asked about where we stood in our relationship. Next thing I knew, Auro said it was a “yes” from his side, and ended up saying the same thing in return. Our parents called each other and started wedding planning. Guruji had also told me that Auro would come to the ashram. Remembered Guruji had said that “He will be sitting right here” and was patting the ashram floor. Thoughts came into my mind, such as “we are moving to Maryland” and all these other things. Was quietly contemplating on what Guruji said, and then He smiled and asked “You don’t believe me?” Sure enough, in 2012, one year after moving to Maryland, we moved next to the ashram, as it had come in another reading after our marriage.

Today we are blessed to be living next to the ashram, and Auro loves listening to satsanga and is deeply connected. It is such a blessing, and has strengthened our marriage.

There have been so many other incidences and daily we hear about and witness stories unfold for others and about their Divine Naadi reading being materialized. As Guruji and Guruma have said, it is our faith and surrender in Him that pulls the divine grace.
