About My Subscription

Can I subscribe from mid-month to mid-month?
You can subscribe in the middle of the month. However your subscription is for that calendar month, beginning on the first day of the month. You will have access to that month’s attributes that were posted prior to the day you subscribed. For example, if you subscribe on March 5^th, you will be able to view the Daily Attributes from March 1^st to 5^th and then daily for the remainder of the month.

What happens if I subscribe at the very end of the month, for example, on March 28^th? Will I be able to view the attributes for each day of March?
The 27^th of each month is the last date for subscriptions for that month (11:59 PM New York time, 4:59 UT- GMT on the 28^th). If you subscribe on or after the 28^th, your subscription will be for the following month.

Can I view the Attributes for previous months?
When a new month begins the Attributes for the previous month are no longer available. You can print the webpages or write down each day’s Attribute on the Study Worksheet, to refer back to them when the month has ended.

I would like to make an offering in addition to the monthly subscription fee as an expression of my gratitude. How can I do this?
If you are interested in offering dakshina, please visit Giving to the Mission on the Siddha Yoga website or e-mail GlobalMonthlyOffering@syda.org

Do families living in the same household receive a discount?

Is translation available?
The Attributes are given in English and Hindi, and translated into French and Spanish. There are subscribers whose study of the Daily Attributes includes translating the Attributes into their mother tongue.

I don't have Internet access. Are you considering other methods of delivery?
At this time, the website is the only delivery channel. Some subscribers who don't have computers are subscribing and arranging with a friend who has an Internet connection to tell them the Daily Attributes each day.

Is it possible to post previous Daily Attributes on the website? I'm not able to check the website every day.
After the Daily Attributes are posted, they are available on the website for the duration of that month. Attributes from previous months are not available.

I do my practices in the early morning, and the attributes aren't posted until after I get to work. What can I do?
The attributes are posted at 12:01 am New York time (05:01 GMT or UT). Since new attributes are posted each day and are available until the end of that month, you can study the Daily Attributes at whatever time is most convenient for you. In the mornings, you can study the Daily Attributes posted at that time.
