How to Make a Donation to Ananda Sangha Australia
Everything at Ananda in Australia is volunteer-run. This means that all of your gifts go back into supporting the activities and growth (new offerings, etc.), both in person and virtually. This energy goes right back into supporting devotees throughout the country of Australia and beyond.
Important: We are not yet a tax-deductible charitable organisation, so we cannot issue DGRs as we do not yet have a category that qualifies under the ATO, however, we still put all energy back into the sharing of these teachings.
If you would like to make a *fee-free* gift, consider a direct transfer to our bank with the following credentials: Name: Ananda Sangha Australia Limited BSB: 082-356 Acc: 980479204
We are a part of a wave of energy that wants to give and give, as long as people are happy to receive it.
Yogananda said the highest act we can do is seek God, and second to that act, is to give back to God's work by giving financially (making money for God).
"If you tithe a portion of your income to God, you will find that, far from depriving yourself, you will be blessed by the Source of all abundance, God. All real security comes from Him. Until you understand and accept this truth, your path through life will forever remain uncertain. But the more you live for Him, the more you will find Him taking care of you—even in the smallest details of your life." -From the book, Money Magnetism by Swami Kriyananda
Tithing also cultivates a spirit of generosity. If we want to increase the flow of money into our lives, we need to put out energy-but without any thought about what we will receive in return. This energy, if given without thought of reward and with open-hearted joy, will attract new opportunities.
Even so, all of us together, Can create a better land! Leave the past: A new tomorrow, Waits for all who understand. (A New Tomorrow)
Begin tithing at a level you can do regularly. Agree in your heart with the Divine on a percentage of your income that you will give back to where you receive inspiration spiritually. Then as you begin to tithe that percentage of your income, whatever its source, watch whatever worries you may have around money begin to melt away.
You will increasingly relax in this new relationship with the Divine Source. Gratitude and love flow in through this new window we’ve opened to grace, and our desire to open that window wider and wider increases.
The practice of tithing has many benefits, but most importantly it is a powerful means to develop trust with the Divine as your true Source of all things, flowing into your life as abundance and providing for you. Next, it helps to decrease your attachment to material things and to free your heart.
The more we are conscious of the Divine in our lives the less we think about our problems and ourselves. We become more and more absorbed in Bliss. Any practice that dissolves the delusion that we are separate from others brings us closer to the state that all spiritual masters and saints enjoy. The practice of tithing has no equal in helping us feel close to Spirit while we are earning our living and through all the ways we are active in the world.
