KRIYA YOGA RAFFLE SYSTEM FAQ
Raffle Process Description
We will conduct two separate raffles: one for first-time Kriya participants and another for those already initiated.
50% of spots in each Kriya Yoga retreat will be reserved for first-time participants.
50% of spots will be for those already initiated by Sri M.
The raffle system is fully automated to ensure fairness for all applicants. Please register using your full name and date of birth as shown on your government ID.
Payment & Refunds
Payment is required at the time of registration. If you do not secure a spot, refunds will be issued within 5 business days after the raffle results are announced.
Duplicate Registrations
To avoid duplicate entries, anyone who secures a spot in one Kriya retreat will not be considered for the others.

Family Registrations
Families should register together in the same shopping cart to be entered as one unit in the raffle.
Other Retreats
The raffle system applies only to Kriya Yoga retreats. Bhagavad Gita and Upanishad retreats follow a first-come, first-served registration process until spots are filled.
Maximizing Chances
All registrants have an equal chance of selection during the 24-hour registration window. There is no need to rush to register as soon as it opens.
Why a Raffle System?
Based on feedback from previous retreats, we adopted the raffle system to ensure a fairer and smoother registration process for Kriya Yoga initiation retreats.
Registering Multiple Family Members/Friends
For Kriya Yoga retreats, family members should register in the same shopping cart to be considered as one unit in the raffle. For Upanishad and Bhagavad Gita retreats, registration is first-come, first-served, not through a raffle system. However, you can still register multiple family members or friends together by adding them to the same shopping cart during registration.
