Bhati Vimokhana Ananda
Heaven hi. My name is Bhati Vimokhana Ananda. I am a servant of the Divine, currently working in public schools. I have a BA in studio art, and I plan to become a career art teacher. I have been working on this path of spiritual growth and soul evolution since February 2018, when I was 18 years old. It began when I met Saucha at The Claremont Colleges and participated in his public meditation club. I became a student of Satguruyogiprabhu Jnanda Moksha Brahmananda in April of that year and became very fervent and one-pointed towards this goal in September. This training has impacted and shaped every aspect of my life, and it has brought more light to everything that I do. My only aim in my life is to be of service in whatever way the Divine asks me to, and everything that I do I dedicate to that end.
I have been involved with Hiranyagarbha Yuga Ashram casually since Saucha Atma Ananda and Devaaya Avirodha Ananda first envisioned it in our home in Claremont, CA, and I have been more seriously involved since the summer of 2020 when I spent 5 months living and working there. I moved onto the ashram permanently in April 2021, and I am currently its only permanent resident (along with my wonderful dog Zavaka). In the summer of 2021, I was the ashram's Head Chef and became an advisor to the board. I also made the ashram's flag and logo. In 2022, I plan to continue my role on the board and be a member of the building team.
Since I was a small child, the notion of a self-sustaining community has been something that appealed to me and spoke to my spiritual self, to my sense of dharma. I see myself building a house at Hiranyagarbha Yuga Ashram, raising children, and living the rest of my life here, all while training and teaching young students. Every time I apply my labor to our work projects here, it fills me with Love because it works towards that goal.
