Dear Assisi Family,
As you well know, we have all come through an incredibly challenging 18 months. I am overjoyed by the fact that we have begun to have in-person services at the Assisi Institute and humbled by the number of people who have told me how the Assisi Institute sustained them in and through the Covid lockdowns. I am convinced that the mission of the Assisi Institute, inspired by the teachings of Jesus and blessed by the grace of Babaji and Yogananda, is more important than ever. Given the complexities of modern life, people need a spiritual home overflowing with the honey of God’s presence. This is what the Assisi Institute is all about.
Just as many individuals have been challenged financially during this Covid pandemic, we too have been challenged. However, through God’s grace and your generosity, we have been able to continue to function as a spiritual community. We have been able to pay all of our bills, and we have been able to keep all of our paid staff positions, which are crucial to the fulfillment of our mission. Yet, financial challenges still confront us, especially given the fact that some of our sources of income have been reduced and even eliminated completely because of the pandemic.
Thus, in the spirit of our brother Francis, I am humbly asking you to make a donation to our annual summer fundraiser, “Just Ten Dollars,” in honor of our celebration of the tenth anniversary of the purchase of our building. I am asking that you consider donating ten dollars or any multiple of ten that fits your budget. Your contributions will allow us to fill the gap in the budget that other fundraisers, cancelled because of the pandemic, would have filled. Appropriately, the sacred meaning of the number ten reflects the unity of God and creation. You may donate directly below using paypal or a credit card or mail a check to the Assisi Institute at 1400 N Winton Road, Rochester NY 14609.
In anticipation of your generosity, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The work of the Assisi Institute is only beginning. God and the gurus have more work for us to do, and it is work that we do with joy. Thank you for being a part of our service to God and Guru. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you and God bless!
In gratitude and love,
Isha Das and Vicki
