The San Diego HoPE Center's mission is to create expanded awareness, joy, healing and abundance to the hearts and minds of our members, participants and to the world. We believe a global revolution of conscious awareness is possible through the transformation of a single person, who in turn transforms another by example.

The San Diego HoPE Center provides educational services, retreat programs and fire labs to alleviate the many levels of the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual suffering we all too often experience. Dr. Pillai has said that one of the fastest ways to transform yourself and your life is through fire labs.

The San Diego HoPE Center is run by Tripura Foundation a non-profit organization which, for nearly 20 years, has been committed to abolishing extreme poverty. Poverty is a disease of the mind. Through programs designed to eradicate hunger, educate our children, and empower women and girls, we seek to end the cycle of extreme poverty once and for all.

Starvation is 100% curable and poverty is 100% reversible." ~ Dr. Pillai

Get Results with Fire Labs

Fire labs are elemental invocations of archetypal energies. Such archetypes represent a particular energy that vibrates within us. This ancient ritual brings those energies alive in our consciousness and allows them to flourish into our lives. Examples are: the Warrior Horus (Egyptian Archetype) brings you protection and courage. The Divine Feminine Lakshmi/Isis/Aphrodite Archetypes (and Goddesses) bring wealth, love and abundance.

Be Blessed by the Siddhas

You can access the grace of Siddhas (enlightened beings) at a powerful vortex at our premises, containing special rocks that embody the energies of Siddhas Agastya, Kakabushunda, Bhogar and Vishvamitra. The rocks come 'alive' and the beings bless us abundantly when we perform Abishekam (hydration with water, milk) for their rocks. We have been directed by Dr. Pillai to now conduct DAILY Siddha Blessings (a cleansing ceremon& and to allow people to sponsor them as monthly donors. (scroll down on that page to see monthly Siddha Blessing offering)
