Why is Sahaja Yoga Free-of-charge?

Self Realisation is the birthright of every human being, so it wouldn'tbe right to charge for it.

How is Sahaja Yoga funded?

There is a minimum of organisation in Sahaja Yoga, and the littlethere is, is done on a voluntary basis.

It doesn't cost much anyway. We do accept small donations forroom hire, but the rest is covered by donations from practitionersand well-wishers.
