What Blossom Foundation does

Blossom Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit spiritual organization founded in 2017 by Sri M (a Padma Bhushan awardee, best-selling author, and Chancellor of Maulana Azad National Urdu University) and headquartered at Sacred Grove, a 49-acre retreat campus on the Brazos River in Graham, Texas. The foundation offers immersive Kriya Yoga retreats ($900), a deeper study of the Upanishads retreat ($1,090), an Evening with Sri M event ($25), and on-campus lodge accommodations ($160–$280/night), alongside volunteer-driven programs. Its core products are in-person retreat experiences personally led or initiated by Sri M, supported by an online registration platform handling bookings, profile verification, payment processing, and cancellation management.

The organization extends its offering through sub-brands Blossom Yoga Center (weekly Hatha Yoga classes and annual courses) and Blossom Swadhyaya (online Sanskrit study and Vedic chanting), plus a published library of books authored by Sri M. It runs a secondary regional hub in Princeton, New Jersey, and hosts events in California. Marketing and distribution rely on Sri M's global reputation, a Facebook page, a YouTube channel, WhatsApp community groups, and email newsletters; corporate donation matching is available at major firms including Apple, Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, Dell, Oracle, and Salesforce.

Revenue comes from three streams: retreat registration fees, lodge accommodations, and tax-deductible donations supporting Sacred Grove and programming. The foundation is part of a broader affiliated global network that includes The Satsang Foundation (India), Astana Center (Malaysia), The Mountain Retreat Yoga Sangha (Switzerland), The Sacred Grove Foundation (UK), The Satsang Foundation Australia Inc, and The Satsang Foundation (New Zealand). Headcount is 1–10 employees, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
