Order of Sai Maa Brahmacharya

Scottsdale, Arizona

Swamiji felt love he had never felt before in his 44 years when he first saw Sai Maa approaching him in a town in the Berkshires of Massachusetts over 20 years ago. This was a true turning point for a psychologist, management consultant, and father who had suffered loss on many levels over the previous two years. Since that time Swamiji has flourished as a Bhakta, someone who progresses in the spiritual path through Bhakti (devotion), in this case as a disciple of his beloved guru, Sai Maa.

Swamiji was initiated in 2003 as a Brahmachari by Sai Maa and Sri Tiruchi Mahaswamigal, and four years later as a Swami by Sai Maa and Sri Satuwa Baba Maharaj. He serves as a spiritual leader and mentor within the Order of Sai Maa Brahmacharya, and offers teachings, coaching and spiritual guidance in both English and French to communities around the world. In addition, he is Executive Director of the nonprofit organization, Light Legacy Foundation, that is inspired by Sai Maa’s many years of dedication to the upliftment of women. (www.lightlegacy.org)

Shree Devi Maa has been guided by spiritual wisdom from a young age, learning to meditate when she was five years old and attending primary and secondary schools with a curriculum based in the Vedic knowledge of meditation, consciousness, yoga, and Ayurveda. Through this background, she has become firmly grounded in practical spirituality—using spiritual knowledge and practices to transform the experience of everyday life. This is an important focus in her teaching, through which she educates others in using age-old practices such as meditation, pranayama (yogic breath techniques), self-awareness, and energy mastery to live healthier, more peaceful and fulfilling lives.

Raised as a “devout atheist” through childhood, and educated in physics and mathematics, Jivan Das’ spiritual journey has taken a truly circuitous path through a world of judgment and limitation. It was through years of living and working in the wilderness with at-risk youth, and spending countless days and nights on sheer cliff sides as a high-performance rock climber that he discovered a uniquely tender path into his own heart. After realizing he desperately needed someone to help guide him through the various difficulties he faced within himself, his practical life, and especially in romantic relationships, Jivan Das was introduced to Sai Maa. Even after meeting Sai Maa for the first time, he was slow to be convinced of the profound nature of this relationship with a Master and the greatness that would unfold in his life thereafter.

Now, over ten years after that auspicious meeting, Jivan Das has become a joyful member of the Order of Sai Maa Brahmacharya and is also a Sai Maa Teacher. As a passionate, transparent, and joyful teacher he engages students with his tenderness and down-to-earth humor.

Jivan Das works full-time as a clinical psychotherapist for a wilderness program in Durango, Colorado. He is an experienced practitioner of yoga, a high-performance rock climber, and avid backcountry telemark skier. Learn more about Jivan Das at thejiv.com.
