Mataji Jyoti Ma
Jyoti Ma is a former counselor with a lifelong passion for unleashing the higher potentials of human consciousness. Many years ago, she closed her successful clinical practice and entered into an isolated retreat. She was called to a life of sadhana, focused on hours of daily meditation, practice of the esoteric arts and deep study of the timeless wisdom of the Rosicrucian Tradition. Her intensive retreat lasted five years, during which time she experienced many otherworldly events, visionary revelations, and a profound awakening of the Inner Genius. She received the name, Chavah Aima, and began to practice the powerful rites of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn along with a variety of Goddess-based, magical ceremonies.
She subsequently met and received her first yogic initiations from Hirindra Singh, PhD, an accomplished yogi and transpersonal psychologist. Jyoti Ma’s knowledge and expertise in western occult processes for self-realization merged with Hirindra’s insights and experience in the eastern enlightenment path to create Enlightened Life Sanctuary, a vital resource for this syncretic wisdom of the ages.
Jyoti Ma traveled to India to seek additional training. She experienced first-hand the higher awareness that comes from a disciplined life and the practice of yogic techniques. She went through profound transformations as she received diksha (energy) transmissions from realized masters, sages and yogic practitioners. She was empowered to teach the woman led tradition of Shakta Tantra after years living with her guru, a woman Tantrika from Bengal, who affirmed to her: You are Mataji now. Soon after, Jyoti Ma began a life of world travel to share these powerful methods with others.
Mataji’s return to the U.S. coincided with advancements in neuroscience studies that proved the value of yogic techniques in healing addictive and traumatic stress disorders, chronic depression, anxiety and more. The methods she had learned were among those proven to optimize healthy neurotransmitter activity and establish superior brain function.
Recognizing the small number of teachers available who were proficient in these diverse yoga methods, Jyoti Ma became certified as a Master Integral Consciousness Coach in order to create a comprehensive approach to self- and life-mastery through yoga psychology.
She created the The Journey, drawn from her own life journey into realization. This program of Integral Consciousness training provides powerful tools and techniques that bring about radical self-healing and revolutionary life change. The Journey is a foundational practice in Enlightened Life Temple for anyone who wants to break free from the past and live masterfully in the eternal now. Over the years, The Journey system of transformation has proven highly effective at helping people activate their higher human potentials and achieve their life goals.
Mataji facilitates fields of practice in the core yogic traditions of Siddha, Kundalini, Kriya, Tantra and Sahaja. Sincere practitioners are invited to join her for Tantric and Siddha Practice groups, Siddha Homa fire ceremonies and special pujas via livestream. Additionally, she leads ceremonial rites in the Western mystical tradition, including entheogenic ceremonies she revived after encountering knowledgeable Egyptologists and esoteric experts on her journeys to the sacred lands of southern Franco and the Mediterranean coast.
Mataji is an initiate in spiritual tradition of the Himalalyan ranges, Tamil Nadu, and Sri Lanka, known as the Siddha path, the ancient, root source of Kundalini, Tantra and the Shaivate tradition. Her initiation immersed her in the teachings of Sri Tirumular Siddha, her Param Guru and author of the scripture, Tirumandiram. She received the Siddha name, Jyoti Ma and began teaching the Siddha field of practice in 2013.
Mataji served as the Project Manager and Tour Leader for Enlightened Life Temple’s India Tour for Women and Children. These charity tours raise funds and coordinate volunteer delivery of donations and supplies to programs in India that serve women and children. Past tours have supported Astitva, a women’s refuge in Dehradun, Uttarkhand and the Karna Prayag Trust infant refuge, orphanage and adoption center in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
Mataji is often called to lead pilgrimage journeys to sacred areas to facilitate deep surrender into integral awareness and heightened spiritual development. These journeys include pilgrimages to the Dine’ tribal lands of Canyon de Chelly and Monument Valley, the temples, ashrams, and holy sites of India and Sri Lanka, and the mystical power points, ruins, and cathedrals of Europe.
As an Adept in the Rosicrucian path to self-actualization, Jyoti Ma authored books and created audio and video training programs for her students. These works were published in her Rosicrucian initiate name, Chavah Aima. She continues to add new programs, services, and books to these rich resources for enlightened living. Explore these resources and services in detail at the Enlightened Life Store.

As Chavah Aima, Mataji created the curriculum for Heart of the Rose School of Mastery, a members-only course for temple initiates that teaches the core elements of the Rosicrucian tradition. The home-study course included lessons in Esoteric Kabbalah, Astrology, Spiritual Alchemy, Ritual Practice, Esoteric Tarot and more.
In addition to her published books that reflect some of the content of these compelling courses, she also produced in-depth, video training programs, encompassing the knowledge she gained over 30 years of practicing the Rosicrucian path. Although Heart of the Rose membership is now by invitation-only, you can experience the power of these ancient mystery traditions and the secrets of the Rosicrucian Order in her video training programs, Inner Wisdom: 22 Steps to Higher Consciousness and Kabbalah Unveiled.
Mataji’s life as a wandering yogini and holy woman has provided her with a deep immersion in Indian culture. She has dedicated her life to the Sanatan Dharma. In 2018, she was asked by Siddha Master Sri Hari Baba to lead the first-ever pilgrimage of the saints and sadhus of India to the American Southwest, and is the Chief Visionary Officer for the Enlightened Life Pilgrimage Festival, the Kumbh Mela of America.
Jyoti Ma is available for guidance, mentoring, counseling and training for those who are drawn to the path of self-knowledge, conscious awakening and liberation. Contact us to learn more, schedule an appointment, or get more details on upcoming events.
