In 1983, Alice founded the Shanti Anantam Ashram (later renamed Sai Anantam Ashram) in Agoura Hills, California. The multi-ethnic and multigenerational ashram served as a sanctuary for many prior to closing in 2017. Music served as the center of Alice’s practice; she brought together diverse styles and cultural traditions.
In 1971, Alice released “Journey in Satchidananda,” the first musical manifestation of her spiritual transformation. Soon after, she visited India. She moved to California in the early 1970s, and in 1975, established the Vedantic Center in Woodland Hills. In 1976, she had a revelation and renounced secular life, becoming a swamini, or spiritual teacher, and taking the name Turiyasangitananda, which she translated as the Transcendental Lord’s highest song of bliss.
