I'm going to make a Paypal donation to help subsidize Yogani's expenses on this generous offer (I'm quite certain there's no strings attached to his offer....so I'm just going to do my part to help it stay stringless!). Would anyone care to join me? Here's the link: AYP/Paypal Donation Link

Hi Jim,

I've joined you in making a donation to AYP. I feel it's the least I can do for all the positive changes that Yogani and AYP have helped bring into my life. I hope that it will help ease at least a small portion of some of the financial burdens that Yogani is bearing to bring these teachings to us and to keep this forum up and running for everyone's benefit.

I hope others will do the same, for more ways that people can help please see this below link to an earlier post on this subject.

Great, Anthem, glad to hear it.

 Yogani's expenses will be ongoing, and he could probably use some support on a continuing basis. And I'll be enjoying AYP (the practice, the forum, Yogani's input) on a continuing basis, as well. So rather than try to figure out "what AYP is worth to me" and pay some inflated figure right now and deem my obligation over, I've just shot 40 bucks to help cover shipping of meditation guides. When I think of it (or hear some expense has cropped up...or after a few months go by) I'll send more. And every once in a while when I realize how much AYP has helped me, I'll send as large amount as I can stomach. If there were a pricetag of several thousand bucks on the AYP "product" at, like, Walmart, and I knew how much it'd improve my life, I'd purchase it in a split second. I will bear this in mind as I contribute. Maybe others haven't gotten as much out of the practice, but I'm trying to think of a reason why Yogani doesn't deserve like 1% of my yearly income. That might seem extreme, but, again, if someone were able to take away all the benefits of practice and charge me $$$$$ to regain them, I must admit: I'd find a way to pay. And it's hard to get past that (though my stingy brain is working overtime to think of rationalizations).

In any case, just as we're practicing AYP for the long term, we ought to consider our support to be likewise.

This is just my personal way of seeing it, obviously. I'm not trying to impose my view on anyone else.

I have the same point of view as you Jim and Anthem too.
The value that AYP has improved my life this far is much more than I can donate right now, but a little each time adds up in the long run, and hopefully your initiative can get a snowball rolling. And I'm sure Yogani's generosity will come back multiplied one way or the other.

Yogani-

Before donating I have a quick question:

The email address is yogani99@yahoo.com but I read somewhere that this is not your address. I just wanted to confirm before hitting the donation button.

Thanks

Hi Anthony:

Yes, the "AYP on Paypal" link in the first post of this topic is still good. Or the aforementioned yogani99 email address can be used on Paypal as well.

Thanks!

The guru is in you.

Yogani,

I am very very thankful to you and the wonderful job you are doing for sharing all these things without any strings attached.

We cannot put any monetary value to your help as it will be insult and cannot be justified by the mere small amounts which I can donate.

In old days people use to spend years and years in ashram to learn all this sacred knowledge and here you have provided us with all the details.

So being said that, please accept my small donation and also please accept my virtual bow down to your holy feat for providing us this knowledge.

Please pass on your blessings that we(my whole family) can devote more and more time on this journey and have time and liberty to follow your instructions.

Please let me know if I could be of any help for this humble cause.

Warmest regards

Yogani - normally I don't support what I would initially consider to be a religious (non-secular) org - but I think Yogani with AYP has succeeded in whatever it is that he initially had in mind.

Yogani, I hate to disagree: YOU are my Guru (though I don't know your mind-body-sense complex - i'm really saying Yogani=AYP)

My PLEDGE for 2010 (target) $3,000

Namaste Friends....

Just thought that I would remind everyone that a donation to AYP this Christmas season would be a great way to share the Christmas spirit, keep the AYP writings and forum going, and show Yogani how much we all value the AYP system.  Hope you all can find a small amount to give back this Christmas season.

May you all have a blessed and happy holiday season.

With Love.

Please note that if you are PayPal members for higher amounts (not sure exactly how much the threshold is) you will be asked to confirm your card by typing in a 4-digit code that will appear on your credit card monthly statement. Happy holidays and best of luck for 2010 [:)]

Yogani Ji

My pledge is still good --- I'm just trying to figure out how to save the first 500 - the holiday spending hit hard - but this is the only cause I wish to donate to this 2010

Hi Anil:

Your interest is supporting AYP is much appreciated. But please don't create a burden for yourself with it.

There are many ways to help, and each will do what they can according to the heart.

From my side, the preference is for any donations to be for the perception of benefits received already, not for anything in the future. No expectations. [:)]

Wishing you all the best on your path. Practice wisely, and enjoy! I have that wish for everyone, released in the stillness we all share...

The guru is in you.
