Buddha born Barry Boudreaux was born in Cajun country Louisiana. He became part of a Gurdieff group 40 years ago and also spent time at the Zen Mountain Center in Tasahara with Roshi Suzuki, lived in Tangier and studied the Koran, became part of a Sufi group and a meditation and yoga group as well while living in Ibiza for 13 years. The most dramatic change was to meet Osho , at the time named Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh in 1978. Buddha took sannyas ( became a disciple )in January 1979 when Osho changed his name to Swami Anand Buddha. His love and devotion for Osho was so strong that he stayed with him for many years and became one of his personal bodyguards. Buddha studied as well various forms of body work and massage therapies. Years later back in the States, he met Ron Canning in Florida and came face to face with wild dolphins. Looking into their eyes he saw the same unconditional love, compassion and bliss he saw in Osho's eyes.

"I have spent the most rewarding years of my life in a spiritual center in India. What kept me there for so many years was the love and understanding that showered my heart whenever I looked into my master's eyes. His glance was full of wisdom and peace, and he seemed to see everything. I learned much more from just a glance, just a few passing moments of looking into his eyes than reading all the spiritual books. Whenever I looked into his enlightened eyes, I disappeared and only love was there, unconditional love, peace and bliss. His enlightenment seemed to become contagious while our eyes were softly locked. When I looked into a wild dolphin's eye the first time, I felt the same experience I had with my enlightened master and again it was contagious. This is why I was so dedicated to work with dolphin-assisted therapy, this is why I am working with people who are interested in exploring the potential of being transformed by the love and higher intelligence of the dolphins and whales."

In 1997, Bhavani and Buddha met in the Bahamas and this was to be another important shift in both their lives . Buddha moved to New Zealand and they worked together for many years with dolphin assisted therapy in their company called Delphines Centre. Being introduced to Osho Rajneesh's teaching by Buddha, Bhavani took sannyas. In 1999, they met a beautiful man named Leslie Walters who had awakened with Papaji and studied with him for two years. Their next step was becaming part of a meditation centre in the South Island of New Zealand with another teacher called Maitreya Ishwara. Inspired by Maitreya they created a meditation centre in Russell, the village where they live and offered many satsangs with enlightened teachers like Rahasya, Maitreya Ishawara and Baba Purnanand.

In 2004 they first heard of Amma and Bhagavan and completely dismissed it. But in 2005 a beautiful awakened friend and teacher named Rahasya, who had been initiated in India with Amma and Bhagwan, came to their meditation centre and gave them Deeksha The experience was so powerful that 10 days later there were at the Oneness University for the 21 day process initiation. Since June 2005 they have been back in India quite regularly to deepen their process . They travel around the world where-ever Amma-Bhagwan ask them to go to share Deeksha. The search is over.
