What it reported doing in 2024

Ashramsone of the core principles of the louix dor dempriey foundation is the importance of community. The foundation currently oversees two 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 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 the library of 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 one communal home. 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.while each of these 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.
