This summer season, on July 4th, we celebrated Ananda Ashram's 60th Anniversary. We are asking our cherished community for support during this auspicious year.
At present, after getting through last winter’s utility season, our Income and Operating account reserves are dwindling and our expenses remain high. While we continue to allocate funds wisely, we find ourselves facing substantial expenses.
Through the help of everyone's generous donations, we have recently completed renovation of the Main House Stairs and Walkway, septic tank replacement at Sapphire House and have power washed the Blue Sky Center.
Our present needs include:
- Installation of a UV System at Panini House, a Board of Health requirement for well water. Approximately $7,000,
- Painting and renovation of our Newman House guest building,
- Replenishment of our financial reserves to meet the coming winter's utility bills and fund additional upgrades to infrastructure - $50,000.
The Yoga Society of New York has a vision for the future, and with your generous support, we can ensure that the Ashram continues to flourish. Guruji's teachings, the Shrine, Cosmic Temple, and the Temple of Light all find their home in this sacred space. Please take this opportunity to support Ananda Ashram's 60th Anniversary. We see this as a perfect opportunity to come together as a community and raise the funds needed for these essential projects.
