Preface
The Lighthouse Beacon newsletter was first published in 1989, ten years after Catherine Florida founded the Lighthouse Center for meditation and spiritual development. In each issue Catherine would write a message, and after she met Gurudev Shree Chitrabhanuji, she invited him to contribute a message as well.
After Catherine received her spiritual name Chetana from Chitrabhanuji in India, the Lighthouse Center began to be a bridge between East and West, and this was reflected in the Beacon Messages. Lighthouse members and friends looked forward to these messages for inspiration, new information, especially about Jaina teachings, meditation, and the challenges and lessons along their spiritual paths.
To those of us at the Lighthouse Center, Chetana was and always will be our spiritual mother, teacher, mentor and friend. Gurudev Shree Chitrabhanuji continues to grace us with his presence, his compassion, his peace, and to illuminate for us the Jaina teachings of Ahimsa and Reverance for all Life. We are hopeful that their messages gathered here will be a source of inspiration, clarity and encouragement to you.
