I met Sat Guru, Audle Allison (Nirvananada) in Oklahoma City in 1980. Audle taught a unique mixture of Kriya Yoga, The Lamp Lighting Path, Radha and the Sat School. I studied with him until his death in 1988. I continued studying with Sat Guru Jerry Densow (Satananda), who encouraged me to start teaching. Jerry founded the Mountain Institute in Red River, NM, in 1988 in order to continue the teachings of Audle. In 1990, Jerry and I founded the Ouray Mountain Institute in Ouray, Colorado. Jerry continues to be the spiritual leader of this group. I taught there for years, but am now teaching in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Our lineage includes gurus such as Lahiri Mahasaya, Paramahansa Yogananda, Roy Eugene Davis, and Dr. Bhagat Singh Thind.
