My Nonprofit Reviews

Divine energy runs through everything that comes out of The Divine Mother Center, opening so many hearts with love and compassion. I've been active with the center since 2004 and it's been overwhelmingly positive for my spiritual development. I've been blessed with many years spent with enlightened teachers and feel sincerely that The Divine Mother Center is for me the next transformative step and has been for almost 2 decades. What's going on now with the center is unique and expansive, utilizing newer technologies to be able to reach out and enlighten so many more people. This is here because of Swami Sri Kaleshwar, of Penukonda, India, who gave these teachings to Western students for the first time. Mataji (Monica of Penukonda) is the lineage holder and is at The Divine Mother Center in northern California, supported by NityaanandaJi as the founder and leader of the center. A dedicated core of beautiful divine souls provides so much work to keep it all running. Now there is a wonderful addition to the mix in Ramakrishna, another early student of Sri Kalshwar, who is bringing more knowledge and experiences to the table. This is an altogether formidable team with so much positivity. This is completely non-denominational, and everyone is welcome, regardless of religion or lack of it. You only need to want to experience God in whatever way you see Her.

I was first introduced to Swami Kaleshwar in 2005 at the Divine Lineage Healing Center and began at that time to study with Swami. Monica and Nityananda, the main teachers at the Divine Lineage Healing Center were a core part of this ongoing process. After Swami's Mahasamadhi the role of the Divine Lineage HC was amplified, and a regular schedule of processes, large and small events, and new and full moon fire pujas ensued. This became important in maintaining a sense of community, providing support and presenting wonderful new teachings Monica and Nityananda had received from Swami. Now the many live teaching processes and pujas are available online, making so much of the Divine Lineage HC available to just about anyone. These teachings are for everyone, from any spiritual path, any religion. These are made accessible by Monica's deep insights and knowledge of Swami's teachings and Nityananda's clear and expansive knowledge coupled with his incomparable speaking abilities. The two of them together create a beautiful loving synergy, making the satsangs and the processes they teach both illuminating and powerful while at the same time spiced with humor and lightness. They are completely enjoyable and show no signs of ego! The Divine Lineage HC has a core group of dedicated people who do all the hard work necessary to maintain the center, produce the events and everything else needed to make everything run impeccably and smoothly. The center is providing much-needed knowledge and love in these troubled times. Accessing what is offered is easy and highly recommended. I look forward to every event and participate in as many as possible. It's a huge part of my life and I'm better for it.
