The creative spirit and art of Masa Rasa Studios lives in honor and remembrance of the Great Being, Guru, and spiritual master Bhagavan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri, India, and his supremely enlightened and devoted disciple, Baba Muktananda, renowned Siddha Guru and World Teacher.
Nityananda translated means ‘the bliss of the eternal.’ Muktananda means 'the bliss of liberation.' It is only through their grace that the art of Masa Rasa Studios exists. Fortunately, they are Divine benefactors and guides, not critics :)
They live beyond birth and death, and their grace and presence forever abides and grows . . .

Bhagavan Nityananda 1896-1961 . . . Baba Muktananda 1908 - 1982 . . .
"The Heart is the hub of all pilgrimages. Go there and roam." "Meditate on your Self, Honor your Self, Worship your own Self.
God lives within you, as you."

"The Guru who has attained Self-realization can alone help the aspirant in acquiring it." Bhagavan Nityananda
"There is nothing greater than the Guru . . . God, Guru, and Self are One." Baba Muktananda
This quote is written on a plaque at the entrance to the Nityananda Temple in Ganeshpuri, India:
"Those who are absorbed in meditation on the Guru are always absorbed in knowledge of Brahman (God).
Whether they are yogis, renunciants, or pleasure seekers, they are undoubtedly liberated."
