			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Las Vegas,&nbsp;NV &ndash;&nbsp;19 July&nbsp;2009) A growing community of spiritual seekers in Las Vegas invited Louix to their city for the first time during the second week of July. Kitty Courtney and Sean Brown, who lead several spiritual groups in Las Vegas, graciously hosted Louix and a team from Prema Drala Ashram for a series of events at their home in Henderson.</p>
<p>For weeks prior to the Evening of Darshan on July 18th, momentum was building through various events and media coverage, including radio interviews on Reverend Thabithi&rsquo;s radio show <em>The&nbsp;Empowerment Hour</em> on AllTalk Radio <a href="http://www.alltalkradio.net/alt/" target="_blank"><strong>www.alltalkradio.net/alt/</strong></a>, first with Markus Kasunich (10-year disciple and personal assistant to Louix), and then with Louix; and an article in the inaugural edition of The Las Vegas Metamystic (<a href="http://www.themetamystic.com" target="_blank"><strong>www.themetamystic.com</strong></a>) that featured information about Louix, His teachings, and the Louix Dor Dempriey Foundation and its various programs.</p>
<p>All of these events culminated with the Evening of Darshan. Around eighty people came to receive Louix&rsquo;s blessing, which, for many, invoked profound transformation and exalted states of bliss.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>&ldquo;As soon as people started to arrive&hellip;&nbsp; I saw these radiant, expectant faces and my heart melted, time and time again.&nbsp; Many were there &hellip; without a clue as to what they were getting into, they came with open hearts. &hellip; I knew from the get-go it would be a gorgeous evening. &hellip; As He led us in a short but powerful meditation, the whole room started buzzing.&nbsp; Then, one by one, each participant was invited to sit at Pranananda&#39;s feet and receive a gift most will never experience&mdash;a one-on-one moment with a truly God-realized being.&rdquo;&nbsp;</em></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: right;"><em>&ndash; K. Courtney</em></p>

<p>As each person knelt before Louix, He removed physical ailments, provided profound guidance about their lives, and infused them with unfathomable amounts of Divine love and light.&nbsp; People from all walks of life and from myriad paths and beliefs, some of whom had never before been in the presence of a Master, were inexplicably drawn to be a part of this experience&mdash;of receiving Louix&rsquo;s unique expression of unconditional love.</p>

<p>A man who was dancing ecstatically to the kirtan music that resounded in the background during the evening said, &ldquo;This is a celebration! I am overjoyed to witness Louix taking away the people&rsquo;s pain.&rdquo;&nbsp; Another woman, who could barely walk because of the immense pain in her body, received her blessing from Louix and walked away exclaiming, &ldquo;This is incredible! He took away the pain in my knees! He took away my pain&hellip;&rdquo;</p>

<p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: right;"><em>&ndash; K. Courtney</em></p>
</td>

<p>After everyone had received Darshan, those who remained in the room sat completely intoxicated, swooning in the love and singing songs of devotion and gratitude for the magic that has just transpired&hellip;</p>

<p style="text-align: right;"><em>&ndash; B. Smith</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>&quot;It was absolutely an amazing experience! I have run across people who claim to be &#39;gurus,&#39; etc., and I am always discerning. However, Louix (Pranananda) is the real deal&hellip;&rdquo;&nbsp; </em></p>

	The meaning of life is to be in service to a Purpose which is greater than the self.</em></h3>
<p>To fulfill the vision for serving and uplifting humanity, the Louix Dor Dempriey Foundation will be raising USD$15 million for the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Purchasing and developing a property that will provide housing for&nbsp;at least twenty people, as well as the new global headquarters of the Foundation. In addition to providing the usual infrastructural needs of a global non-profit organization, this ashram property (spiritual community) will be a self-sustaining, organic farm, dedicated to &ldquo;green&rdquo; living and to embodying the spiritual teachings which are the very foundation of Louix&rsquo;s life and ministry. This will serve as a model for other such communities to be developed around the world.</li>
<li>Legal and administrative costs to complete the full structuring and establishment of the Foundation and its subsidiaries.</li>
<li>Creating a salaried, full- and part-time staff for managing the various departments and activities of the Foundation, and establishing programs for all volunteer support staff.</li>
<li>Preserving the Foundation&rsquo;s historical artifacts and educational materials, which include all of Louix&rsquo;s recorded teachings since 1992 (many of which are in urgent need of preservation), as well as establishing a program to meet the Foundation&rsquo;s future archiving needs.</li>
<li>Publishing and distributing Louix&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.louix.org/lddf/category/teachings/" target="_self"><strong>teachings</strong></a> (and others sponsored by the Foundation) via books, DVDs, films, CDs, the Internet, television, radio, and other media.</li>
<li>Conducting spiritual retreats, pilgrimages, seminars, and study courses.</li>
<li>Expanding the existing (and developing new) <a href="http://www.louix.org/lddf/category/humanitarian/#globalserviceprojects" target="_self"><strong>global service projects</strong></a> to preserve and purify our earth and its environments, as well as projects that support the physical and spiritual needs of individuals and communities around the world.</li>
<li>Procuring computer and audio visual equipment for the development of new educational products (print, audio, and other media).</li>
</ul>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Below you will find a description of the programs and activities that the Louix Dor Dempriey Foundation presently conducts and plans to conduct in the future to achieve its stated purposes and objectives. The Foundation&#8217;s mission is achieved through&nbsp;three main areas of focus:</p>
<ol style="text-align: center;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Darshan</strong>:&nbsp; This is one of the single, most powerful blessings bestowed upon an individual, as it is a rare opportunity&#8212;by way of the gaze or touch from a God-realized being&#8212;to directly receive the living essence of God&#8217;s love which dwells in the consciousness and embodiment of the Master.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Education</strong>:&nbsp; Through the study&nbsp;of Louix&rsquo;s teachings, by practicing His recommended daily spiritual tools for growth and transformation, and by participating in His educational programs, ones can achieve self-mastery and true inner peace and joy. &nbsp;</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Humanitarian Service</strong>:&nbsp; Recognizing the interconnectedness of humanity and the importance of helping others, the Louix Dor Dempriey Foundation offers loving service to individuals and groups worldwide, as well as to the earth and its environments.<br />
    &nbsp;</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;<img height="373" width="475" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/about-lddf-bro-darshan1.jpg" alt="about lddf bro darshan1 Foundation Programs and Activities" title="about-lddf-bro-darshan1" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4481" /><a name="darshan"></a></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">Darshan</h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">The all-transforming power of God&#8217;s love comes through Me, <br />
like a magnifying glass, so that the souls before Me <br />
become consumed by the flame of His love.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Louix&#8217;s darshan is available to people of all faiths, beliefs, and walks of life&#8212;for His love is truly unconditional and embraces all. The Grace of the Master has profound transformational and healing effects, often evoking exalted states of bliss, spiritual awakening, and even, at times, healing of physical ailments. For thousands of years, people have come before God-realized beings to receive this immense blessing which, by its own nature, augments and strengthens one&#8217;s spiritual or religious beliefs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img height="300" width="447" class="size-full wp-image-285 alignnone" title="about-lddf-bro-educa-smler-2" alt="about lddf bro educa smler 2 Foundation Programs and Activities" style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/about-lddf-bro-educa-smler-2.jpg" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">Education</h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Transformation occurs every time you remember<br />
one more part of your inherent divinity.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As a result of being in His presence and by practicing His teachings, thousands of people of all faiths and cultural backgrounds have experienced life-changing transformations. Louix and His teachings are available through myriad public programs&mdash;spiritual retreats and pilgrimages, meditations, study groups, and other special events&mdash;as well as through a host of educational products, and via the online community and library of His teachings.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><img height="210" width="650" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1499" title="about-lddf-purpose" alt="about lddf purpose Foundation Programs and Activities" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/about-lddf-purpose.jpg" /></h1>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Pilgrimages, Retreats, and Public Audiences </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Attending pilgrimages, retreats, and public audiences are ways&nbsp;people&nbsp;can receive Louix&#8217;s darshan (blessing) and be illuminated by His wisdom. During these events, Louix gives discourses on various aspects of self-mastery and Enlightenment, and facilitates Q&amp;A sessions, sacred ceremonies, and meditations. Being in His presence and participating in these events helps people become aware of and heal the wounds and patterns which prevent them from living as unconditional love.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In previous years, Louix has led sacred pilgrimages to Sedona, Maui, Mt. Shasta, Central Australia, Egypt, Israel, Kenya, and India. In addition, He has held several retreats (as well as many private and public audiences) in the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand. In 2007 and 2008, retreats were held in Australia and the United States. The Foundation will continue this tradition of coordinating pilgrimages to sacred and historical sites, and bringing retreats and other public programs to countries all over the world.</p>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><img height="214" width="275" align="right" class="imageyouth" title="about-lddf-youth-group1" alt="about lddf youth group1 Foundation Programs and Activities" style="margin: 40px 0px 0px 15px;" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/about-lddf-youth-group1.jpg" /></div>
<p><strong>Youth Groups</strong></p>
<p>Youth Groups (for pre-adolescents and adolescents) have been held to assist children in establishing a spiritual foundation in their lives. The children are taught basic meditation techniques, prayers, devotional singing, and other tools (including the use of educational films and other media) to foster and develop their intuitive talents and abilities, to strengthen and restore their full connection to the Divine realm, and to nurture their overall spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical well-being. The children are involved in community service activities (spending time in/with various groups, communities, cultures, and organizations) and are taught to love, appreciate, protect, and preserve nature and the environment.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Satsangs</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Satsangs offer a regular forum for people to explore Louix&rsquo;s teachings and to learn about the many practical tools He offers to accelerate one&rsquo;s spiritual development and to experience greater joy and inner peace. They are facilitated by His disciples, devotees, and others who have been deeply impacted by His presence in their lives. Satsangs are currently established in the United States, Canada, Australia,&nbsp;and New&nbsp;Zealand. One of the goals of the Foundation will be to create study guides and other materials to facilitate the study of Louix&rsquo;s teachings by individuals and groups. The Foundation also plans to set up study groups in schools, universities, prisons, church groups, and other institutions that serve the greater community.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><img height="195" width="325" align="left" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3110" title="about-lddf-mens-group" alt="about lddf mens group Foundation Programs and Activities" style="margin: 15px 15px 15px 0px;" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/about-lddf-mens-group.jpg" />Men&rsquo;s and Women&rsquo;s Groups</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These intimate gatherings held at Louix&#8217;s various ashrams and centers provide a safe environment for the attendees to share with an open heart and to deepen their bonds of sisterhood and brotherhood.&nbsp;They also provide the opportunity for both the group leaders and all participants to share their experience and wisdom with each other, growing and learning from this interaction.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Creative Arts</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Louix has a diverse and extensive background in the creative arts. He is passionate about celebrating the diversity of cultures, the richness of their art, and the aesthetic and ancient traditions of the past and present. While the Foundation does not have any specific creative arts programs currently in place, it is an area that will be expanded in the future.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Building Communities </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Living in community, residents support one another&rsquo;s spiritual growth and attainment of self-mastery and God-realization. They take part in daily meditations and prayers, service, and scheduled gatherings and activities. The depth of love and safety in&nbsp;these closely-knit and loving communities facilitates profound growth and healing for all who live there. The ashrams host public meditation evenings, study groups, pranayama (sacred breathing technique), and open house gatherings, offering people the opportunity to receive the blessings of Louix&rsquo;s life and teachings and to share those blessings with others in the greater community.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img height="279" width="500" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3113" title="about-lddf-build-community" alt="about lddf build community Foundation Programs and Activities" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/about-lddf-build-community.jpg" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There are currently four ashrams<sub>1</sub> which are guided by Louix&rsquo;s grace and wisdom:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Prema Drala</em></strong> (world headquarters and Louix&rsquo;s primary residence) in Southern California, U.S.A.;</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Sundara Aravinda</em></strong> in Melbourne, Australia;</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Sathya&nbsp;Sananda</em></strong> in Sydney, Australia;</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Prana Shakti</em></strong> in Hobart, Australia. This ashram is&nbsp;situated on a six-acre rural property, which includes two homes, a small cottage, and extensive, organic vegetable gardens and fruit orchards; and, as such, serves as an example of the Foundation&rsquo;s vision for establishing planned communities.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p>One of the goals of the Foundation is to develop more ashrams under Louix&rsquo;s guidance. The communities established in rural settings will ultimately be fully self-sustaining for both food and energy (i.e. &ldquo;off-the-grid&rdquo;). They will grow extensive organic gardens and orchards, and will use solar and other natural sustainable energy resources that foster and perpetuate Louix&rsquo;s teachings on the importance of &ldquo;green&rdquo; living. All of Louix&rsquo;s ashrams practice veganism<sub>2</sub>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>1</sup><em>Ashrams are intentional spiritual communities formed primarily for the enrichment of those who choose to live within them. They are traditionally formed and centered around the life and teachings of&nbsp;a living Master (God-realized being) and serve to help spread those teachings. </em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>2</sup><em>Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a vegan as a strict vegetarian who consumes no animal food or dairy products; also one who abstains from using animal products (such as leather and fur). </em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><img height="179" width="130" align="right" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1621" title="about-lddf-the-heart-book1" alt="about lddf the heart book1 Foundation Programs and Activities" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/about-lddf-the-heart-book1.jpg" />Publishing</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In 2008, the Foundation published a book entitled <a target="_self" href="http://louix.org/prasad/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=77&amp;products_id=227"><strong><em>The Heart Always Knows</em></strong></a>, a collection of 59 essays written by Louix&rsquo;s disciples and devotees, several of whom are in the midst of writing their own books about their&nbsp;walk with Him. Louix also has several books and other literary works currently in development (including a re-write of His first book, Dawn of Enlightenment, self-published in 1998).</p>
<p>Since His ministry began in 1996, Louix has produced an extensive library of audio and written products, as well as recordings of His many events, courses, retreats, and pilgrimages, all of which are compilations of His ageless teachings on self-mastery, Enlightenment, and unconditional love. Also, this website (formerly www.LouixDorDempriey.com) comprises an extensive portfolio of His <a href="http://www.louix.org/lddf/?cat=3"><strong>teachings</strong></a>, including discourses (audio, video,&nbsp;and written), stories, poetry, photos, book excerpts, and Q&amp;A&rsquo;s&#8212;and&nbsp;is continually being updated and expanded.</p>
<p>Louix&#8217;s teachings have been published in magazines throughout the United&nbsp;States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and India. He has appeared and been interviewed on various radio and television programs in the United States, New Zealand, and Australia. There are plans to produce various documentary films about Louix&rsquo;s life and His teachings (with one that is currently in production), and to expand His presence in print publications and in all media throughout the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Archiving </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is an ever-expanding library of audio and video recordings of Louix&rsquo;s life and teachings, as well as His personal artifacts, that are in the ongoing process of being archived. Currently, the recordings of Louix&rsquo;s discourses are transcribed by volunteers around the world. Once transcribed and catalogued, these recordings provide the raw materials to create published works including books, study guides, articles, films, and audio books. There is an urgent need to preserve the many audio and video tapes that are now more than a decade old. Many are beginning to deteriorate and could be erased or permanently damaged. With the increased human and financial resources that will come through this Foundation, this very important work will be given the vital attention it needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img height="290" width="360" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1465" title="about-lddf-bro-hs" alt="about lddf bro hs Foundation Programs and Activities" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/about-lddf-bro-hs.jpg" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">Humanitarian Service</h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Compassionate hearts change the world.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Louix Dor Dempriey Foundation is dedicated to supporting individuals and communities worldwide through its humanitarian programs and services. The Foundation has raised money to support numerous organizations over the last decade, including:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li style="text-align: left;">Sri Ranga Patna Orphanage (Mysore, India)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Operation U.S.A. (Los Angeles, California)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Ronald McDonald House (Christchurch, New Zealand)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Sandy Happy Children&rsquo;s Home (Kisumu, Kenya)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Coraz&oacute;n de Vida (Baja California, Mexico)</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Foundation also regularly participates in local community service programs. Louix&rsquo;s extended family of devotees, friends, and affiliates also volunteer to their local communities and organizations on a regular basis. Activities include visiting senior citizen homes, house cleaning, feeding and caring for the homeless, clothing and food drives, serving hospices and their residents, and socializing with at-risk youth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img height="357" width="351" class="size-full wp-image-333 aligncenter" title="about-lddf-bro-option61" alt="about lddf bro option61 Foundation Programs and Activities" style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/about-lddf-bro-option61.jpg" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>Supporting our Environment</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Foundation&rsquo;s global service projects come under the umbrella of <em>Grace in Action</em>, which is currently comprised of two initiatives:&nbsp; Global Clean-up Project and Forests of Fruit. Both of these programs welcome and encourage public participation.</p>
<p><strong><em><a href="http://www.louix.org/lddf/category/humanitarian/grace-in-action/global-clean-up/"><img height="98" width="102" align="left" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1630" title="about-lddf-gcup-button" alt="about lddf gcup button Foundation Programs and Activities" style="margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px;" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/about-lddf-gcup-button.jpg" /></a></em></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.louix.org/lddf/?cat=34"><strong><em>Global Clean-up Project</em></strong></a><strong><em> </em></strong>(picking up trash in communities worldwide, as part of our dedication to making the planet a cleaner, more beautiful place to live).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Global Clean-up Project</em> was established in December 2003. Its goal is to clean the Earth by picking up trash in our communities and disposing of it responsibly. To date, the equivalent of more than 16,000 grocery bags of trash have been collected by volunteers in six countries. Louix&rsquo;s ashrams and study groups coordinate regular community trash pick-ups and support their local city council&rsquo;s community events on special occasions such as Earth Day and International Waterways Day.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Forests of Fruit</em> was initiated in December 2005. By planting&nbsp;fruit trees on various public and private properties, and encouraging others to do so, this project gives life to Pranananda&rsquo;s teachings of how fruit is paramount to our health and vitality. This project&rsquo;s goal is to bring an end to starvation and malnutrition (which claim millions of lives every year) by providing free, naturally-grown food for all human beings (and animals and birds) everywhere. It also serves to&nbsp;reforest and oxygenate the planet (thus reversing the effects of global warming), and to beautify the world while so doing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the future, <em>Grace in Action</em> will include additional projects that embody Louix&rsquo;s teachings of living in grace and harmony with Mother Earth and with all living beings. These programs are all currently coordinated by volunteers. As resources become available, the current and new programs will expand to include community education programs, greater local and international publicity, and coordination with other like-minded organizations. The Foundation intends to also create many more service and humanitarian projects that will serve the physical and social needs of all sections of society.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Program Support</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All the programs described above are currently managed, facilitated, and supported by a small, dedicated group of volunteers. The establishment of this Foundation creates the vehicle for increasing its volunteer base, employing full- and part-time salaried staff, and expanding its activities to reach a wider international community.</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center">The Early Years</h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center">The greatest adventure you will ever have<br />
is the journey into your own heart.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">Louix Dor Dempriey was born at 7:40 p.m. on Sunday, 17 December 1961, in Somerville, Massachusetts, U.S.A. He was named Louis Bonanno, the third of four children of Italian-American parents.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">As a child, Louix&#8217;s Divine qualities were evident. He demonstrated immense compassion for His fellow human beings, animals, and plants. Wild animals frequently came to Him, and He often brought home injured animals and nursed them back to health. It was in the quietude of Nature where He would experience His most profound communion with the Divine.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Jesus physically appeared before Him at the age of five, to prophesy two critical turning points in His life, and to prepare Him for what was to come. By age ten, His insight and wisdom belied His age, and people of all ages and from different walks of life were already seeking His counsel for their personal problems. Louix also achieved academic excellence throughout His schooling and displayed a level of maturity and responsibility beyond His years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-316" title="about-bio-young-adult-1" height="326" alt="about bio young adult 1 Louix Dor Dempriey Biography" width="262" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/about-bio-young-adult-1.jpg" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center">Young Adulthood</h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center">By following one&#8217;s heart&mdash;that small, still, silent voice&mdash;<br />
one is inextricably tethered into the heart, mind, and will of God,<br />
even without knowing what it is.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">Throughout His life, He entertained others with His wit, creativity, and performing talents. After graduating from Bentley College in 1983 with degrees in Economics/Finance and Accounting, He moved to New&nbsp;York&nbsp;City to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, pursuing His childhood dream to become an actor. A near-fatal bout with food poisoning both terminated His cherished studies and, through a serendipitous turn of events, secured His first starring role in a feature film. In 1986, His burgeoning career brought Him to Hollywood, where He appeared in several films and television programs. By the late 80&#8242;s, He was riding a wave of success in all areas of His life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-982" title="about-bio-spiritual-trainin" height="382" alt="about bio spiritual trainin Louix Dor Dempriey Biography" width="310" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/about-bio-spiritual-trainin.jpg" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center">Spiritual Training</h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center">Everything that happens to you is for the sole purpose of<br />
your own God-realization.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">In May of 1990, Louix experienced a very powerful kundalini awakening, which sent Him straight into samadhi (a state of Divine bliss). Instantly activated were many siddhas (Divine powers/abilities) that had lain dormant within Him. For more than a week He experienced total omniscience and did not eat or sleep, so powerful was the current of Love coursing through His being.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">In February of 1992, following a string of miraculous events, and in answer to His prayers for Divine guidance, Louix had an encounter with four Ascended Masters. Soon thereafter, He renounced the material world and began training in earnest with the Masters in The Ancient Mystery School, fulfilling one of the prophecies spoken to Him by Jesus at the age of five.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Within two months, Louix was able to enter a conscious trance (bhava samadhi) and physically presence Ascended Masters and other celestial beings within His own form. In April of 1992, He was bequeathed the name Louix Dor Dempriey, which means &quot;Behold! I give you the Kingdom of Heaven.&quot;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">During four years of rigorous Initiate training, nearly 100 Avatars, Masters, angels, and saints physically materialized within and before Him to accelerate the realization of His full Divinity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3954" title="about-bio-pic-enlightenment" height="322" alt="about bio pic enlightenment Louix Dor Dempriey Biography" width="269" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/about-bio-pic-enlightenment.jpg" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center">Enlightenment</h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center">Divinity reveals itself from within the self,<br />
where it lies dormant until such time<br />
as the soul is ready and willing to externalize it.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">Louix Dor Dempriey attained Enlightenment on 7 March 1996. One year later, Paramahansa Yogananda appeared before Him to herald the opening of Louix&#8217;s first ashram, Prema Drala, which means &quot;The Grace of God.&quot; In October of that same year, Paramahansaji appeared again, this time placing His right hand upon Louix&#8217;s head and anointing Him with the Sanskrit name Sri Pranananda, which translates as &quot;Most Beloved Breath of God.&quot;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3115" title="about-bio-divine-family2" height="351" alt="about bio divine family2 Louix Dor Dempriey Biography" width="500" src="http://www.louix.org/lddf/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/about-bio-divine-family2.jpg" /></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center">Global&nbsp;Family</h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center">Love takes on whatever form it needs<br />
to reach you, to touch you, and to draw you unto Itself.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">A few years after the opening of His first ashram, Louix&rsquo;s ministry spread to other countries. There are currently three ashrams in Australia:&nbsp; <em>Sundara Aravinda</em> in Melbourne, <em>Prana Shakti</em> in Hobart, and <em>Sathya Sananda</em> in Sydney. The world headquarters, <em>Prema Drala</em>, where Louix resides, is currently located in Southern California. There are also study groups in Chicago and&nbsp;New York, U.S.A.; Hamilton, New&nbsp;Zealand; and Vancouver, Canada.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">In 2007, the Louix Dor Dempriey Foundation was founded as a non-profit educational organization dedicated to sharing Louix&#8217;s teachings and humanitarian works. The Foundation&#8217;s mission is to help people remember and restore their inherent divinity, and to&nbsp;walk in this world as unconditional love.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Louix Dor Dempriey&#8217;s global family is constantly expanding, inspired by a common vision for personal transformation, self-mastery, and dedication to humanitarian and environmental causes. Louix&#8217;s many ashrams, retreats, pilgrimages, and public appearances provide additional opportunities for people to experience His eternal love, wisdom, and joy.</p>
