I am not asking you to do something I am not prepared to do. ~ I am committing to doing immersions and programs far into the future, as that is a major source of funding to cover a significant portion of the mortgage and expenses. —Nathaji
JUST SO IT IS CLEAR: NATHAJI IS NOT RICH AND IN FACT OWNS NO PORTION OF RUDRAMANDIR Although Sacred Space Yoga Sanctuary (non - profit) is the primary owner of Rudramandir, SSYS/HOC does not receive income from it. The income to Rudramandir serves to pay for the mortgage, operating expenses, maintain the facility, and hire staff. SSYS ’ ownership in Rudramandir was made possible by community members like Samvitti/James, Rudra, Sodashi, Kevin Jackson, and others All donations to SSYS by Heart of Consciousness students and well - wishers will go directly to further Nathaji ’ s teachings and the development of our community.
