* What is the San Diego HoPE Center?

Founded by Dr. Baskaran Pillai, the San Diego HoPE Center is geared toward enhancing human intelligence and positively transforming every aspect of life. The San Diego HoPE performs Fire Labs and allows those engaged in events (whether by proxy or in person) to immerse into the Mind Science toolset to most profoundly impact areas of life such as health, prosperity, relationship and spiritual evolution. This exploration of higher intelligence includes study of both the conscious mind as well as the super-conscious mind.

The ground on which this Center was built is a hallowed land that has been cared for with reverence for years before it was purchased and became a retreat. Since its inception it has been a central location for the creation and dissemination of life-transforming teachings. Dr. Pillai, formerly known as Dattatriya Siva Baba, used this location as his personal residence, to enter into deep states of heightened consciousness and recorded many teachings here such as most of his YouTube recordings and the Grace Light DVD.

* Not for Profit

The center is not for profit and operated by Tripura Foundation, Dr. Pillai’s charity organization dedicated ending poverty and hunger. All proceeds exceeding the upkeep of the center are used by Tripura Foundation for humanitarian projects around the world.
