Welcome to my website!

What possessed a young college graduate in the early ‘70s to train as

a yogic nun with the controversial spiritual group known as Ananda

Marga? Buy my book, The Orange Robe, and find out!

It has been more than 25 years since I left Ananda Marga, yet in some ways it’s as if I never left. Not only

has the experience influenced me in profound ways, but the writing of my book, taking as long as it did,

kept me immersed in the experience for far longer than may have been healthy. At least that was how I

felt occasionally as the years (and one draft after another!) came and went. But I wouldn’t have had it any

other way. It was a story that had to be told, after all, and the response I’ve gotten has been enthusiastic

and truly heartwarming. Read more by clicking here

“Most accounts of life in high demand religious groups either

idealize the group or harshly criticize it. By simply telling her

story... and leaving judgments to the reader, Marsha Low has

provided a balanced and informative story about her life in

Ananda Marga that most readers will find hard to put down.”

Music

Besides writing, my other great passion is music. I’ve been performing with choral groups for several

years now and am currently singing with the Ambler Choral Society. In addition to appearing in choral

concerts, I sing and play guitar at open mics and other venues in the Philadelphia area. Please check

out my events page for information about my upcoming concerts and gigs.
