We are all subject to the state of impermanence in so many different ways. It is all about Karma and how to live within the unlimited state of Love that impermanence offers to us. This July Retreat will be very unique. We will be doing energy work with each other as well as three new Tibetan Pulsing Meditations that will be presented. ACCOMMODATION REGISTRATION FORM

Our Theme for 2013: SAMSARA KARMA
“Pleasures flow everywhere. You float upon them and are carried from life to life. Like a hunted hare you run, the pursuer of desire pursued, harried from life to life. The cycle of birth and death is a long path for those who do not know the Way.” ~Buddha
Beginning with our Workshops in January we will journey this year through meditation and energy practice into the very meaning of Samsara Karma. Samsara Karma is the cycle of death, rebirth and death again in the material world. This cycle is repeated for endless lifetimes until a seminal moment occurs through consciousness. Most people are content with living in Samsara Karma until a formative moment occurs where indifference and emotional passion are pushed aside for the sake of the profound moment where a glimpse of Love has arisen and a spiritual awakening has occurred.
In 2013, I dedicate my Workshops and Retreats as well as the monthly Newsletters, Message of the Month and Discourses to the essence of Samsara Karma. Of course, my Bi-weekly Commentaries, Podcasts and Videocasts will all contain insights to help break the chain of pain and useless sorrow that occurs when we are spiritually indifferent.
This will not be a year for everyone. Some will find that they are just too emotional and, hence, not available for this subject or the disciplines that will result in breaking the chain of lifetime after lifetime of living in what I call passionate indifference to Love. If you have the “right stuff” to move deeply into energies that are transformational through the methods and disciplines that will be offered to you, as well as the meditations and energy practices that will be revealed to you in the year of 2013, then please know that your presence is deeply welcomed and appreciated. Looky-loo’s will find no real interest or mental foothold in this all-consuming practice of Samsara Karma. CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE MT MADONNA WEBSITE

“I am inexplicably happy to see that your programs are now on You Tube, I watch and learn from them nearly every day. I spend my lunch hour at work listening to you and am very inspired by your new (maybe not so new to you) area of Carmel and especially Big Sir – so beautiful! I want to say THANK YOU for not ever giving up on all of us and giving of your heart to the sometime lost souls of the world, we need you so badly.”
~Renee Bischof, Iowa “What a beautiful show. Thank you again, again and again.”

I come to you with important news about Aspire. For 27 years I have worked very hard, along with my Sponsors, to pay for airtime on television. Airtime is very expensive, as you well know. But, due to the emergence of the internet and the popular YouTube website, we now have a viable alternative that will not only serve many of you – but the whole world.
Your Sponsorship is needed and will now help many of you who have not been able to see Aspire on television due to cable issues. We will be gradually converting all of the Aspire programs, from the very beginning to the current series, to YouTube for all the world to see and be served by. Thanks to donations we have received so far, the following Aspire TV Series are now available on YouTube:
I need your continued support, through Sponsorships or Donations in order to provide the rest of the Aspire TV programs on YouTube! For those of you who have watched Aspire for years and have not helped me sustain it, I ask for your Sponsorship! For those of you who quit being Sponsors due to not being able to see Aspire, I ask for your Sponsorship. Soon, you will be able to see Aspire wherever and whenever you like. Due to the blessed event of the “smart phone” and the iPad…you can watch Aspire when you need it and have time for it. Your Sponsorship will not only be used for the conversion of old programs…but now, we can make NEW PROGRAMS EACH YEAR! Instead of using our Sponsorship donations to pay for airtime, we will be able to use them to PRODUCE new programs each year.
Please help me serve humankind by becoming a Sponsor. I work without a staff and do everything “in house.” No donation is unimportant or used for frivolous purposes. It is all about the karma of Love. CLICK HERE TO PRINT THE SPONSORSHIP FORM

Metta to you,
Gregory Penn (Chaitanya Siraj) “Dear Gregory, what an amazing treat and gift of the YouTube videos. Ever since you went to Channel 4 San Diego, I have been unable to watch the programs as I have DirecTV and they do not support that channel. I was so thrilled to read this morning and learn of the Youtube site. I am currently recovering from a knee operation and nothing could have bolstered my spirits more than a dose of Aspire! Thank You.”
Greg, San Diego “Love being able to find one of Greg Penn’s discourses on You Tube. Really miss the days when he was at The Center For Spiritual Awakening in Escondido. Thanks so much for posting this! Settling and centering discourse series that I really need to hear right now, in my life! Thanks so much and…Namaste.”

“There are two mistakes one can make along the road to Truth…
not going all the way, and not starting.” ~Buddha
My spiritual path began when I was a very small child. For whatever “reason.” which I have never really needed to question, I came into this world to begin a journey that has taken me through thousands of lifetimes and, I am certain, many more thousands to come. To me, it is all about direct experience, no matter how disturbing it might be to the comfort of my life. The quality of life is the presence of living in Love…as the ultimate experience and meaning of a lifetime.
I will not bore you with my childhood and the life that brought me to be with you, in this moment. If you want to know more about me and my life as a teacher, please read some of my Commentaries as they are designed to share my innermost being with you as a man, teacher and spiritual being. I will just say that you are here, at this website, by divine rendezvous and, as myself, you are seeking that which is finding you! My journey led me to college and then, to seminary, and eventually at the feet of a great master, who transmitted to me energies that define the way I live to this very moment. I will share this with you, as I share my life…with all of the loving people that I care so much about.
After being ordained as a Unity Minister at the tender age of 21 and realizing that my deep “pull” to know would not be fulfilled by becoming a minister, I had a series of “events” that led me to India. There I lived in a very beautiful Ashram for about five years and went through the riggers of spiritual training and enfoldment. It was there that I learned many techniques to deal with the ego and, eventually, was honored to learn the art of Tibetan Pulsing and the meditations that accompany these powerful experiences.
MY SPIRITUAL PATH, WITH YOU
“No one becomes enlightened without a teacher’s help.” ~Buddha
I am not the kind of teacher that advocates a particular spiritual path. I am deeply interested in the Truth and how it can be a direct experience in a lifetime. I love Buddha…but could never be a Buddhist I love Jesus, but I can not be a Christian. I am absorbed by the Tao, but I could not say I am a Taoist. What I offer is a direct path to have what is called at “Satori,” which some of my students have experienced. A Satori is a direct encounter with Life as Love. Through meditations, Workshops, Retreats and the life coaching, I have given my students a way to reach the blessing of their own being. I can assist with this, but I can not give it all to you. You have to do your own work. As the Buddha stated, “No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We, ourselves, must walk the path.” This is very good advice that I offer to all of my honored students.
If you decide to work with me, you must know that I am only interested in your awakening. I will do all I can to create the opportunity for it to bloom in your life. But, in the end, it is all up to you for it to happen. It will take authentic work on your part. You will have to be deeply devoted to the Way that lives within you. You will need discipline (meaning: not doing the things that harm you) and you will have to find the time and energy to devote to this experience. It is not for everyone. Many come and find that they simply do not have the interest in the intrinsic nature of themselves. It is not the lifetime for them to experience this. Only you can know what kind of person you are. If you are to be with me, it would by my honor…and you may know I will work very diligently to help you in all ways. Please forgive me… Swami Chaitanya Siraj

Listen to Gregory’s Sponsorship Message
(click the arrow below)
When you support Aspire, you give people the chance to know that which will heal their lives…that which will authentically bring wisdom and clarity to this lifetime. Your support of Aspire extends far beyond air time. Your support allows Gregory to make hospital and hospice visitations and provide free materials for people who are in need and can not afford to make a donation. It is only through your gifts that Aspire is allowed to serve humankind.
Aspire is deeply unique. Aspire is about compassion – about sharing with the public, through radio and television, monthly Newsletters and Discourses, Workshops and Retreats, the very blessing of living in a lifestyle that reveals the presence of Love that lives within all of us. Religion, philosophy and politics will not change the world. It is only through Love that real change…real transformation can occur.
We thank you for your loving support which makes our programs possible.
In deepest gratitude…..namaste
