Eli's spiritual path started in 1971, when he was a federal fugitive during the Vietnam war. In 1978, Kalu Rinpoche appointed him the president of the first Kagyu dharma centre in Marin County. In 1982, he was presented with a Zen Teaching Fan at ChoShoJi Zen Temple in Japan. After a search took him around the world and into many traditions and practices, his path and his search ended when he was pulled to India in 1990, where he met his final teacher, Sri H.W.L. Poonja. Confirming Eli's realization, his teacher sent him back into the world to share his unique psychological insights into the nature of egoic suffering in support of self-realization. Eli infuses the teaching with his teacher's living transmission of silence. He presents a unique map of egoic identification as a vehicle for ruthless self-inquiry and final realization of true freedom. He dedicates his life to passing on the transmission of his teacher.

Eli was married to Gangaji as you may know. A few years ago they had a falling out and the organization they had also fell apart in "worldly terms"
Eli has a unique style of teaching which differs considerably than Gangaji approach. It was Eli that was instrumental in having Gangaji meeting Papaji. He came to her one day and told her I have met a true master that gave me the truth and you need to meet him also.
The rest is history.
Enjoy
