Give whatever you give with love, then even the tiniest pebble you offer will have a great meaning.

- Gurumayi Chidvilasananda

In spiritual traditions, giving is considered an essential spiritual practice. In the Siddha Yoga tradition, the practice of offering to our spiritual path from our own wealth or earnings is called dakshina. Through this offering of love, we acknowledge the transforming power of the Guru's grace and teachings in our lives. We also express our desire to uplift humanity by helping to make these teachings widely available.

As with all spiritual practices, dakshina brings its own blessings and gifts to us as we practice it. People often share that giving dakshina opens their hearts and nurtures their capacity to give in all aspects of their lives. As we engage in the natural cycle of giving and receiving, we find our own experience of gratitude is magnified. On a more mystical level, as we offer dakshina, we deepen our capacity to receive and assimilate the grace flowing from the Guru.
