Feed A Monk
Traditionally, it is considered very good karma to support someone in an ashram. One part of the Mount Soma Ashram Program is clean living, which includes healthy food. You can support this endeavor by choosing to donate to a specific Ashram participant or to the group as a whole.
The Student Union
The Student Union building is near completion and will soon be serving the entire Mount Soma community.
With the expanded interest in Mount, the Student Union will be a much-awaited addition, providing a place for course participants to stay, as well as many other benefits.
Recently Hayley, Marlene, and Maharshi did a walk through and discovered some improvements that will greatly enhance the comfort, beauty, and usefulness of the building. For example, the kitchen has doubled in size, creating more space for those cooking, prepping veggies, washing dishes, and cleaning pots. A large porch roof has been added to create a nice outdoor area for people to gather. Just imagine sitting out on the north deck enjoying the beautiful view during a rainstorm. We also added a suspended ceiling that will improve the beauty and energy efficiency. Instead of looking up and seeing insulation, duct tape, and steel beams, we will have an attractive vaulted ceiling.
We need to raise an additional $17,000 to make these changes happen. The Ashram Participants have started the process by contributing nearly $5,000, leaving us just $12,000 short of our goal.
You can participate in creating the most comfortable gathering space for our Mount Soma community by making a contribution of your own.
Any amount is welcome!
Maheshananda World Peace Project
Vedic technology makes it possible for us to bring peace to the world. The Maheshananda World Peace Project (MWPP) arranges for four Vedic pandits to venture on a pilgrimage to the twelve Jyotirlingas in various parts of India, where they will administer this ancient technology. Maharshi (Michael Mamas) and Pandit Prasad invite you to become part of this mission.
