In the Siddha Yoga tradition, the practice of offering selflessly to our spiritual path from our own wealth or finances is called dakshina.   Dakshina is offered freely from the heart, without stipulation of use or expectation of personal gain. “Dakshina” is also the name given to the offering itself.

Dakshina is one of the foundational Siddha Yoga practices and is central to Siddha Yoga sadhana.  Through the practice of dakshina, we strengthen our commitment to the Siddha Yoga path and consciously acknowledge the transforming power of the Siddha Yoga teachings and the grace of the Guru in our lives.  As we practice dakshina, we expand our capacity to receive and assimilate this grace.

The SYDA Foundation is the vehicle through which dakshina is received and administered globally.  In India the vehicle is the Gurudev Siddha Peeth Trust.
