MY STORY
I have always been on a radical quest to know God.
This pursuit has led me to many wondrous and miraculous experiences from vivid dreams involving divine personalities to the charismatic prayer group I started at the University of Michigan that brought visitations of Jesus and angels to our South Quad dorm. I’ve always known that God is real.
Even with this, my radical quest has taken me through some dark nights of the soul. In fact, for much of my 30’s and 40s I became so caught up in my career, relationships and trying to get all I could from life that I found myself surrounded by material luxuries and enjoying an outwardly glamorous lifestyle but somehow inwardly despairing.
It’s easy to understand why we are suffering when we are lacking material comforts.
But what to do when you have everything you could possibly want and are still unhappy?
This was my situation.
I had achieved my idea of success: a six figure career with a jetset lifestyle making commercials and designing strategic communications for many of the world’s top brands, a beautiful California McMansion, a Mercedes hardtop convertible roadster, a pocket yacht, a 36-foot RV motorhome and every relationship I ever wanted. Yet I was in despair!
I negotiated how I worked in my advertisng career so that I could take off four to six weeks every year to teach this training alongside a global team of other licensed Avatar Masters and this helped stave off depression for over 20 years.
People had amazing results and transcendent experiences on the Avatar Course. The work helps us raise our level of integrity and take responsibility for our lives but it is intentionally devoid of overt spirituality and so it ultimately left me feeling empty.
These material things became less important as I threw myself into teaching the Avatar ® Course – a wonderful personal development training that allowed me to be in service to others and get away from just indulging myself.
I missed God! After 50 years of exploring and searching I finally realized that happiness and fulfillment cannot last despite material success, hard work or even service to others without connection to God.
In 2017, my life took a really drastic turn.
The political landscape in the US shifted and terrible civil unrest and oppression became prominent. I was sad, angry and overwhelmed on every level. The world felt so dark and empty, I felt hopeless and no longer wanted to be here. But I could not bring myself to end my life.
I felt a calling to do something but I wasn’t sure what that something was. So I made a big decision. I left my career, my marriage and even teaching Avatar to find out. My soul yearned for a deeper connection, a transcendence I had lost and I was determined to get it back. I dived into my radical quest.
I revived a spiritual practice from my childhood that I call my Sacred Play Date – consecrated time spent with the divine. I created an altar space with figurines and images of five deities I loved: Jesus, Buddha, Ganesha, Kuan Yin and Soo Woo Kong/Hanuman. I started rising at 5am to light a candle, ring a bell and have a Sacred Play Date.
What started as a quiet reflective moment soon evolved into a totally energizing morning party involving music, art, mantra, sacred study, praise and worship, journaling and even oracles. Soon every god and goddess I knew – and many I was meeting for the first time – joined my Sacred Play Date.
I received a cornucopia of priceless gifts!
Eventually I had a mystical encounter with a god named Krishna and discovered Krishna is the Supreme Personality of God. Then I realized that He includes She! Krishna (the Divine Masculine and presiding deity of knowledge) appeared with His consort, Sri Radha (the Divine Feminine and presiding deity of bliss). Together They are known as Sri Radha-Krishna — the Supreme Lord appearing as one soul in two bodies.

Soon after that, I met a fully realized spiritual master, my Gurudeva Srila Bhaktivedanta Madhava Gosvami Maharaja.
I received the name Manini Radha dasi in a sacred initiation that supercharged my divine ears, divine eyes, divine heart and divine mind and catalyzed my own spiritual evolution.
Through the grace and mercy of my Gurudeva, I began to discover things about my True Self. I learned that I serve Sri Radha-Krishna eternally in the topmost heavenly planet called Goloka Vrindavan. I began to read and understand astonishing scriptures originally written in Sanskrit and Bengali like the Sri Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam that explain everything about everything!

And as I began to understand everything, I received a divine download of powerful insights — 12 Radical Quest Illuminations — that address three problems we all share: spiritual amnesia, lost reference points and lack of knowledge.
Three Problems We All Share
1.Who am I? - We suffer from spiritual amnesia and don’t know the truth of who we are
2.Where am I? - We have lost reference points and wander in a wilderness disconnected from God
3.Why am I suffering? - We lack knowledge of the truth and as a result we do things that make life harder and increase our suffering endlessly
This revelation was deeply personal and yet universal too.
I realized God had given me a framework for my radical quest that could be easily shared with anyone.
The 12 Radical Quest Illuminations are a systematic way to make sense of everything that happens to us, to transform ourselves and to make changes we want. At the same time, they enable us to make maximum spiritual progress in this lifetime.
