The Purusha Annual Fund has recently been established to support the growing needs of the Maharishi Purusha ProgramSM and the Purusha Capital for the Western WorldSM.
Simply put, in order to meet our expenses we are in need of more income than we receive from sponsorship donations and from our World Peace Assemblies and the other courses that we offer. Every year special projects and expenses come up to maintain and upgrade our 14 year old facility. We recently repaired the roofs, repainted many residential rooms and public areas, repaired major kitchen equipment, repaired or replaced equipment for our water and sewer system, and purchased replacement golf carts for transportation around our campus.
The purpose of the Purusha Annual Fund is to expand our ability to replace and repair infrastructure as needed in order to maintain the comfort of Purusha and our course participants. Future expenses will include replacing roofs, drilling a new well, purchasing a newer maintenance vehicle, continued building maintenance, equipment replacement, and continued maintenance and repair of our kitchen and water and sewer systems. Very importantly, the Purusha Annual Fund will also support those Purusha who are currently not meeting their fund raising goal, thus helping to contribute to maintaining the Purusha Capital and Purusha's greatly needed positive influence on national consciousness.
Our fund raising goal for 2026 is $250,000. If you would like to make a contribution towards our Purusha Annual Fund, you can contribute in the ways listed below.
All donations to the Purusha Annual Fund should be above and beyond what you may be already be contributing towards the sponsorship of members of Purusha.
