Sri Paul Marché (Pilo Albrasso) developed into Mastership under the guidance of Sri Darwin Gross and accepted the Rod of Power on October 22, 2008, becoming the 973rd Living Master of the Time.   Asked by Sri Darwin to relocate to Portland, Oregon in 2005 to assist with managing the Office of the Mahanta, Sri Paul moved across country, glad to be of even greater service to the Living Master of the Time and the direct path to Sugmad.  Within a few months of his arrival in Portland, Sri Paul was invited to live with Darji and assist him with his rapidly deteriorating physical body.  Darji was accepting a great deal of karmic burdens for many chelas during these last few years of his life; something that all Living Masters do near the end of their tenure.

This was a grueling time for both Sri Paul and Sri Darwin.  Paul had to continue to manage the office affairs while caring for Darji 24/7, while Darji, in spite of a mal-functioning physical body, had to continue to assist Sri Paul as he struggled through some of the final stages of development necessary to fully accept his new job as the Living Master of the Time.  Sri Paul enjoyed few personal comforts and even less sleep, yet  he did so with a smile on his face and a joke on his lips.  He often referred to this 2 year period as "Divine Misery" for the difficult physical circumstances were more than offset by the tremendous flow of Divine Spirit/Love that went between Darji and he.

This special spiritual connection coupled with the great service being given, facilitated Paulji's remaining spiritual initiations, leading to the beginning of his work as the Living Master of the Time in October of 2006. However, it took 2 more years before he could accept the Rod of Power and wear the mantle of the Living Dhunami Master.

Paulji's special talents and spiritual gifts will be brought to bear in the Dhunami works as he carries on the line of Living Dhunami Masters.  Sri Paul will use his abilities in music, theatre and direct, personal communication to give out the message of these ancient teachings to those who are ready for the next step in their spiritual journeys.  He is charged with developing the idea of the "Sound Worker" in the Dhunami teachings and continuing Darji's work with the imaginative faculty through the use of "image tools."  He is here to continue to correct the record as regards his predecessors, and the genuine lines of Dhunami succession.  Yet all will be done with the great flow of Divine Love and the fine sense of humor characteristic of the Dhumami Masters.
