As important as they are, you don’t get to choose your relatives. Yet you have made a great choice in being a member of the Svaroopa^® yoga and meditation family!

Today, I was honored to be calling yogis to thank them for Making a Promise to support their yoga and their Ashram. It was so sweet to hear their reasons for choosing to do so. They also described what Svaroopa® yoga and meditation does for them. They were overflowing with love and gratitude for the changes in their lives and for the love and support they feel being part of this amazing family.

And you have seen that, when your life changes because of your yoga practices, you are not the only one affected. Your relationships with your family, your friends and even strangers shift their lives. I wish that I and the other Board Members could call each and every one of you, but that’s not possible. So many have been touched by the Svaroopa® Sciences!

I also spent time calling yogis we haven’t seen for a while. I thanked them as well, and reminded them that they always have the Ashram as a pillar of support to rely on. There is nothing like it. Again, it was so sweet to hear what is going on for them, and how their yoga is making changes for their students and their families.

This is a grassroots transformation. It is due to yogis like you who are making the world a better place by how you live. It is a wonderful life because you make it so.

Your pledges to make or increase monthly donations along with year-end gifts supported us in reaching our goal: $30,000. Your generosity touches my heart deeply.

On behalf of Sadguru Swami Nirmalananda Saraswati, your dedicated Board of Directors and I thank you for Making a Promise. This campaign is complete and we are very grateful to all who have given so generously.

If you were not able to participate until now, you can still conveniently set up a monthly gift, increase your current monthly donation amount, or make a one-time donation by clicking here.
