Offerings to the Siddha Yoga Guru are made to the SYDA Foundation, as the organization responsible for receiving and administering dakshina offered by Siddha Yogis outside of India. The charitable trust of Gurudev Siddha Peeth holds this responsibility for dakshina offered by Siddha Yogis within India.
