“Craig Bullock (Isha Das) has been a spiritual son to me for many years. His work provides an authentic itinerary for the spiritual life. His teaching is a perfect example of Jesus’ words, “The student will do much greater things than the teacher.” ~ Richard Rohr

Living Grace
Since 2014, Isha Das has been writing daily reflections 365 days per year.
His writings include such diverse topics as karma, the present moment, facing our pain, the twelve steps, heaven and hell, holy simplicity, healing, meditation, and many more. Each day, readers can expect to be filled with the practical and loving wisdom of Jesus and the Kriya Gurus.
A grateful reader recently wrote:
“This letter is long overdue. I have been reading your Living Grace daily inspirations for years. I read them just before my daily meditations and they always put me in a calm, clear, peaceful space and are often just what I need to hear. You are an extremely gifted spiritual writer, and you are doing the most important work on the planet to help awaken humanity. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your writings. They have helped me in countless ways.”
The Blessing Shop
Open before and after Kriya Service on Thursdays or by appointment. For more information, please contact Swami Muktima at maureen@assisi-institute.org.
The Blessing Shop houses an array of gifts, books, and other items to support your meditation and prayer life. We feature CDs, devotional materials, inspirational jewelry, natural soaps, bath products, shawls, and clothing to enhance your Kriya lifestyle.
The Holy Place
The Holy Place was built to replicate the Chapel of San Damiano in Assisi, Italy. At San Damiano, St. Francis heard the voice of Jesus saying the words that gave him his life’s mission: “Francis, rebuild my church, for it is falling into ruin.” In true Franciscan spirit, the Holy Place grew out of an old garden shed. The generous gift of several patrons of The Assisi Institute who wished to offer a quiet refuge from a busy world made this renovation possible.
All are welcome to use The Holy Place for prayer and meditation. Its small size and unique character make it a meaningful setting for sacred services.
Email Purnima at purnima@assisi-institute.org to discuss use of The Holy Place.
