Tips for Applicants
This organisation is primarily a service provider rather than a grant-maker in the traditional sense. Engagement would involve participating in their meditation services, enrolling in their Kriya Yoga home study lessons, attending events, or making donations to support their spiritual mission and building fund.
Giving Philosophy
This organisation operates as a spiritual centre rather than a traditional grant-maker, focusing on providing direct services and spiritual instruction to its community. It appears to allocate resources toward maintaining its physical sanctuary, hosting meditation services, facilitating Kriya Yoga instruction, and organising spiritual events and retreats that support the spiritual development of its members.
