A new program has been created to meet an ongoing need within our community for readily available devotee accommodations, especially for devotees in need housing due to life circumstances or who can no longer live alone due to health/aging issues.

The program involves the acquisition of RVs, travel trailers, and tiny houses on wheels in good working order that remain in the hands of our nonprofit. Devotees may stay in them for short- or long-term periods of time based on a predetermined schedule with a suggested donation amount that will help cover periodic maintenance or improvement expenses to these accommodations.

If you have a motor home, travel trailer or tiny house you would like to donate, please send an email to:

giving@goldenlotusliving.org

If you would like to assist devotees in their time of need but have no RV to offer, you may donate to our "RVs for Devotees" fund. Click or Tap the Giving button below.

Donations will help support acquisition and/or maintenance & improvement of these types of accommodations.

We are deeply grateful for your support.

This event was livestreamed via Zoom on Saturday, February 1 at 2:30pm and is now available to watch at your convenience.

Rothwell Bouillon (1927-2024) transitioned to the astral realm peacefully at home on December 13th after 10 months in home hospice.

He entered hospice on Guruji's Mahasamadhi and departed on the Indian holy day of Karthigai Deepam.

Roth directly served Guruji's work for over 30 years as an SRF monastic (many may remember him as Brother Sadhananda). After requesting from Sri Daya Mata and being granted release from his vows, he became a householder and is survived by Claire "Sis", his spouse of 40 years.

His last 15 years were spent at Golden Lotus Community. He was a kind and happy soul — funny, clever, and well-loved by many.

As our Community development projects progress from planning to implementation, we'll let you know how and when there are opportunities to participate with us in helping manifest these worthwhile goals.

For those who would like to come to the Community to join in our events or serve as project volunteers, we offer spaces for overnight campers and boondocking RVers.

An outdoor restroom and a shower with hot & cold running water are available, as well as an RV dumpstation.
