ecognized as one of the foremost visionaries of our time, she has been honored as a Master Spiritual Teacher with the sacred name of Surya Sai Ma Durga Devi, and is fondly referred to as “Surya Ma.” She was born into this world with the birth name Devra Lynn Patton and is part of the Patton family lineage of World War II fame, which shaped her future as a child with the Patton family tradition of service to God and Country. Her first name Devra, means divine wisdom or wise one in the feminine context and she is sometimes called by the endearment of Devraji which connotates loved one or honored one in the Eastern cultures. Her spiritual name is like a string of magnificent pearls glistening from the radiance of their timeless and profound meaning. Throughout our website of written and audio materials, you will hear Surya Ma referred to in many veins. In formal circles she is also addressed as Dr. West, her married name. Having trained with the revered indigenous elders and the master teachers of many faiths, she is a recognized pundit of interfaith studies and the world’s spiritual philosophies. She is also a leader in the field of transpersonal psychology which embraces the science of individualized spirit, the psychology of the soul and the soul’s quest for self-realization of its true spiritual identity.

                    

urya Ma began her childhood from the awakened state and was consecrated at the age of seven by the Universal Christ to serve as a dynamic catalyst for this time of planetary transformation. She received illumination in 1967 at the age of seventeen through direct contact with the Immortal Masters of Universal Wisdom and has carried forth her mission of integrating the enlightened state, to live “in the world but not of the world” with fierce commitment here in the West. She is indeed a Great Light whose life example is offered as an inspiration to all who recognize that the "Time is Now" to renounce the illusion of duality and separation, to proclaim the Truth of Eternal Life and our essential unity as souls.

We are blessed to have a Master Teacher in our midst who is dedicated to bringing the timeless wisdoms of sacred knowledge into contemporary expression through the application of universal principles into all aspects of our shared human experience. As a consummate healer, author, meditation master, and humanitarian, Devra Surya Ma has been on the front lines of holistic healing and personal transformation for over thirty years. As a world-renowned Master Teacher, she has pioneered some of the most dynamic approaches in meditation, mind-training, and the transpersonal healing arts. As a master healer of profound adeptship, Surya Ma is a gifted clairvoyant whose high-sense perception enables her to access etheric structures and the universal blueprints of divine perfection, the gateway to mastery in the healing arts.

evra Surya Ma’s spiritual path is universal and nondenominational. She has spent her life steeping in the deep wisdoms of the world’s primary spiritual traditions and philosophies. Her quest to achieve an essential synthesis of our planet’s spiritual wealth has taken her from the deep Amazon to the heights of the Himalayas, from the temples of ancient Egypt to the holy sites of Jerusalem, from the tipis and kivas of the Native American tribes to the tantric wisdom of Tibetan Masters. She has dedicated her life to bringing the universal principles, for the well-being of a prosperous and thriving humanity, into contemporary life, through the ideals of global guardianship in its most benevolent premise. Planetary sustainability through the living brotherhood of the human family runs as the informing keynote throughout her focus of world service. She is actively engaged in philanthropy, writing sacred texts, creating enlightened enterprise in the health and healing field and merging the scientific and spiritual realms. Her purpose is to open the way to the one thousand golden years of peace and prosperity through her ability to live and embody the principles of universal abundance that will form the building blocks of that reality. She is here to example a higher order of life and to demonstrate the divine birthright of all human beings. Her work crosses into the full gamut of active stewardship with her primary influence being directed toward inspiring change in economics and finances, healing and medicine, environmental governance, human values and youth education, especially for the spiritually gifted, genius child.
