Dassi Ma

I am currently President of the Hanuman Maui, Ram Dass Loving Awareness Sanctuary which was formed shortly after Ram Dass left his body in 12/19 to preserve his residence and property on Maui as a spiritual sanctuary. Hanuman Maui continues to share this energy through kirtan, meditation, education programs, personal retreats and small special events. In 7/21 Hanuman Maui inaugurated the new Hanuman Mandir (temple) and Hanuman Murti on the grounds of Ram Dass’s home on Maui.

I moved to Maui to serve Ram Dass from 2005 until his death in 2019 as his chief caregiver, personal assistant and manager of his house/staff. I am truly blessed to have had this opportunity to serve Ram Dass. The fifteen years I served him proved to be the best years of my life.

Prior to working with Ram Dass my career was in Human Resources. I was a Director of Human Resources for a large international organization from 1987 to 2005. In that capacity I was responsible for managing the human resources function in the Eastern Region which included multiple divisions and locations. I managed employee relations, training, staffing, compensation, benefits, labor relations and affirmative action planning.
