Revenue model

1. Donations and Voluntary Contributions: As a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Sahaj Marg/SRCM relies on donations from practitioners and supporters to fund activities. The organization explicitly states the meditation practice is free and there are no fees to start or continue. Donations fund operations, ashram maintenance, and mission activities.
2. ID Card Processing Donations: Suggested voluntary donation of $10 per request for each ID card (also applies to card reprints). This is a nominal processing support rather than a significant revenue source.
