HOW WE GOT HERE
Our lineage of gurus and mentors only just begins with the enlightened Yogini from France, Ananda Devi. Gurus Sri Aurobindo and Sri Ramana Maharshi were uniquely instrumental in her journey.
She founded ‘The International Council for Research into the Nature of Man’ and worked with high-level spiritual and political leaders in India and the United States. Developing unique discoveries in the fields of psychological introspection and metaphysics which inspired the necessity for integral spirituality. Her book, The Illumined Mind would later become the foundation of all future work.
In 1958, Ananda Devi (1921-1994) founded ‘The Indian Cultural Center’ in New York City. In 1960, she met, Premananda Deva Kennedy (1931-2008), subsequently he experienced illumined consciousness and together they founded the Center Culturel De L ‘Inde in Paris for 32 years.
In 1994 Deva met Lakshmi Devi, now known as Sarah Owl Kennedy, in Dharamsala India wherein she subsequently entered her Atman, a state of Samadi (enlightenment). They founded New Future Society centers in India, South America, Europe and Virginia, USA.
