The peace, love, and silence of The Assisi Institute has remained available through the grace of God and our Gurus, who must be proud of how we have adapted using modern technology. As small businesses, nonprofits, and spiritual organizations close their doors all around us, our financial needs remain consistent and we turn to online solutions for fundraising. 

In honor of our ninth year in our spiritual home, we ask you to consider donating nine dollars, or any multiple of nine that fits your budget. Your contributions will allow us to fill the gap in the budget that previous fundraisers would have filled without imposing a burden on your budget. Appropriately, the number nine is considered a number of compassion, kindness, and enlightenment. It signifies the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. Additionally, the number nine invites us to look forward to positive changes. Saint Paul listed nine fruits of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, truthfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

In the spirit of giving, we would like to give something back to you. At no additional expense to you beyond your donation of $9 or more, we are offering a limited number of viewings of Isha Das’ newest online class, The Keys to The Kingdom: The Spirituality of Success. When this 4-part video series goes on sale September 1, its price will be $100, or $30 per individual segment. After your donation, you will be contacted via email with an access code for viewing.

In the spirit of Yogananda and Saint Francis, we humbly ask you to consider being part of this fundraiser. More than ever, we remain committed to our mission of supporting all who seek a deeper relationship with God; it is our privilege to serve you! We await the day when the temple will again be full and we will greet each other with hugs.
