Dakshina

---

What is Dakshina? 

Dakshinas are traditional financial gifts given to the spiritual guide as tokens of loving gratitude.  These help support Yogi Shyamasundara as he serves God and humanity.  Your financial gifts are immensely helpful and deeply appreciated.  

How Do I Offer Dakshinas?

Dakshinas can be offered via Zelle using the email: dakshina@KrishnaMarga.org

Do My Dakshinas Support Yogi Shyamasundara Personally?

Yes. Your dakshinas support Yogi Shyamasundara’s basic needs, providing the means for him to continue his full-time service to God and humanity.  

Why Is My Support Important?

In all traditions, ordained monks and spiritual guides are supported by their community as they dedicate their lives fully to serving God and humanity.

Given that Yogi Shyamasundara is a full-time, formally ordained yogi who maintains a holy mission of God and Self-Realization, this requires real-world support. 

Are Dakshinas Tax-Deductible? 

Since dakshinas are financial gifts that directly support the spiritual guide, they're not tax-deductible.  No services are offered in exchange for dakshinas. 

Thank you for your kind support and generosity!  Jai Śrī Kṛṣṇa!
