"I have just started giving 10% of the funds I receive from teaching Kundalini Yoga (only small amounts as my classes are small and held in the atrium in my home) but it is the start of giving. THANKS for the wonder of the Kundalini Energy that has been part of my daily practice since 1983."

"Kundalini Yoga is the most awesome gift I have ever encountered. It is an incredible, invaluable tool for living. I am amazed at the changes my students have experienced in a relatively short period of time. My gratitude goes out to the organization that brings this information to humanity. The world owes a debt to Yogi Bhajan and the organization that supports his teachings. I feel it is right and a pleasure to support its continuation. I will continue to share 11% of my funds from teaching, knowing that I too grow personally in strength and awareness because of these gifts."
