A heartfelt milestone in our sangha’s journey 🤍
Ordination – May 2026, Switzerland.
Amrita Baba with his ordained students.
Ordained students are close disciples of Baba, united by a deep bond of trust, friendship, and shared commitment. It is like a second family. They hold a special role within the Open Heart Sangha, and in time, some may serve as lineage teachers and carry positions of trust within the community.
The first ordination took place in 2022 in Wales, when Simha Karl Henrik, Mani Monica Olivia, Amrita Uma Gwen Hollis, and me, Amrita Rani stepped forward in deep dedication.
Now, at our Spring Retreat 2026, Helena Sangita Nymark, Bodhi Bob Andersson, Dipa Tiina Wanhala, Silvia Kripa Schüssler, and Bhole Baba James Ferguson were ordained, continuing this living lineage.
I honor their commitment for the sake of all beings and rejoice in this beautiful step on the path. Congratulations to newly ordained dharma brothers and sisters! 🙏🏻
Amrita Rani, Ordained member of Open Heart
