 Spiritual Meaning for Yourself, Family, & Clients                                                                            
The 21st century - a fresh new vision and hope - a macro version of New Years Day. We resolve to stop our bad habits - all the broken systems that will not support the evolution of our people and planet. Healthcare, education, politics, scientific method, ecological-related manufacturing ...all the systems have broken down and new ones are emerging - alternative medicine, education, governing, ecology etc.

Holistic is the new pattern of living, more in tune with the way nature operates. The end of the 20th century saw our view of life as mechanical - create a life that allows us to live on auto-pilot - let technology make it so easy we don't have to do anything. Science & technology became the new idols to worship - the new 'false religion' - flawed as they are, like all human short comings, the quest for perfection and eternal bliss can never come from external things. Peace and joy are created within.

It is said a democracy has to fight for its freedom. The reality is, one must fight for their inner freedom and peace; only that fight is one of love and forgiveness and acceptance. To find peace and love, one must live it. Anger, low self-esteem, critical nature, fighting, etc. cannot culture the heart into love and the mind in peace. If you want love...love. If you wish peace, be peace

'Be the change you wish to see'  - Gandhi

So to practice holistic love and peace, even for a holistic practitioner, one must live holistically beyond your practice. For example, you wish to study Ayurveda's alternative health system, so look for a school that offers alternative education modalities keeping with your basic principles.

Rote education - claiming one to be knowledgeable based on memory has no bearing on reality.
    •    Did your schooling teach you critical thinking?
    •    thinking for yourself?; did you experiment and test the theories taught to see if they work for you?
    •    did you grow and discover something about yourself and your life purpose?
    •    Did you find your self-worth grow in the process of study?
    •    did you find yourself growing in peace and love and understanding about your soul, the cosmos and nature?
    •    did your teacher(s) care for you as if you were their child?

Alternative education offers these crucial forms of teaching - keeping the person
and their studies integrated with the whole-life picture.

In ancient India this alternative education system was extant; simply called
'gurukul', or school of the guru. Students traditionally spent 5 years, spending every
day from morning till evening studying with their guru, learning about themselves
and life, even as they are learning a specific subject.

Today the closest word to gurukul is mentor or coach, though it seems everyone is called a mentor or coach these days. A mentor is one who has been where you are and helps guide, through advice and as a living example how to learn, achieve, and become the person you are aiming to be.

A spiritual mentor is unique over and above mentors that teach any one subject; they help connect you with your soul, and live that expression in your own paradise.

Swamiji is one of the few teachers today that teaches in the gurukul or mentor style. His school caters to smaller groups of people, and individuals to ensure proper attention to all details of education. All subjects are taught as metaphors to spiritual life and the laws of nature so whatever a student is learning they are also leaning how the laws of nature operate so they can experience personal growth alongside career growth. This balance is essential for a successful, balanced life.

Success is defined as knowing yourself, living balanced, grateful for all that comes, seeing the best in all situations, and keeping attuned to God (or nature's, or spirit's) vision for your best life.

Why Choose Swamiji as  Life-Change Mentor?
On a spiritual quest since childhood,  Swamiji began his formal spiritual training back in the early 1970's - nearly 40 decades ago. Now as the world is growing in its cry for spiritual connection, people need to connect with those individuals who have lived this life, preparing for this day when spirituality becomes the priority in people's lives.

"Swami Tirtha is my friend and a great one.  Early this year he put me on my own personal road to wellness with some great counsel, great suggestions and great enlightenment.  What's so great about Swamiji??  Two things, in my experience.  He listens and he cares.  Swamiji took pains to completely understand my situation and needs, and he was and is there with me, every step of the way.  I heartily recommend his healing teachings and great sessions.  He has great wisdom and great healing "technology" to share - and I am a believer and proud to call him my friend."   Joel - alMD.com


"I am also  enjoying Swamijis deep understanding, dedication, and patience in his teachings..." Matthew P, Yoga Teacher -NY USA

"Swamiji did for me in a half our what my therapist couldn't do in three years!"
 PK - President heating company NY 

How Does Mentorship Work?
In order for Swamiji to continue to live and grow in his paradise, and to offer true spiritual counsel to others, he can only accept a limited number of students at any given time. Students are looked after in a patient and loving manner as if they are his children.

Mentoring covers all areas of life, but focuses on key foundational areas:
    •    health (ayurveda)
    •    life purpose (dharma/Jyotish vedic astrology)
    •    home/office spirit (vastu shastra)
    •    visions & dreams (personal, family, developing one's paradise in the world)
    •    natural living (living in harmony with nature, at nature's pace)

All of life is referenced during mentoring to help reveal the intimate, sacred connection between all things and people. With such a map of how the laws of life operate, students are quickly able to begin to navigate their lives in smoother waters.

What Will I Get from Being Mentored?
    •    insights into your life purpose
    •    how to align your diet and lifestyle with nature
    •    how to connect to your spiritual visions
    •    understanding and applying mental processes that bring peace and joy
    •    how to analyze and change unhealthy fundamental belief systems
    •    how to share greater spiritual peace and joy with my family and clients
    •    how to begin to offer spiritual guidance your clients

What's My Next Step?
1. schedule a half-hour phone interview.
       if you and Swamiji both feel his mentoring style will work for you
2. choose the 7-step mentoring kit or pick which topics you wish to start focusing on
3. schedule your mentoring sessions (weekly or monthly)
