Dakshina is one of the core Siddha Yoga practices.

Dakshina is practiced by offering money or financial resources to the Guru without expectation of personal gain and without stipulation for its use.

As with the other core Siddha Yoga practices – like meditation, seva, and chanting – dakshina is performed with discipline and regularity.

Through the practice of dakshina, you can tangibly take part in making Gurumayi’s teachings available to seekers worldwide.

The SYDA Foundation is the vehicle through which dakshina is received and administered globally. In India the vehicle is the Gurudev Siddha Peeth Trust.

The SYDA Foundation has established three main ways for people to offer Dakshina:

• You can offer dakshina by enrolling in the Siddha Yoga Monthly Dakshina Practice, and offering a monthly percentage of income.

• You can offer dakshina by making special dakshina offerings, for instance, on Siddha Yoga holidays, or on any occasion that has personal significance for you.

• You can offer dakshina through the Planned Giving program. Planned Giving is a way for Siddha Yogis to include the SYDA Foundation in their long-term financial plans, through making a will or trust.
