SPONSORING
At this point, we would like to publish a letter that describes so well the situation we are repeatedly confronted with. We would like to set up a fund that enables everyone to come here to Madhubhan for retreats or simply to participate online. Please feel free to share this message with your friends.
Dear friends of Madhubhan and the Soham Group
For people who are on their spiritual path, a stay in Madhubhan is very important and also highly recommended. The peace, love, and power that this place radiates is unsurpassed.
Of course, no one can escape everyday life—we all have our responsibilities to fulfill. At the same time, those seeking to find their way home to themselves will repeatedly encounter moments of silence, tranquility, and peace in this beautiful place.
Many of us would travel to Madhubhan more often and sit at Soham's feet. But there are also people among us who simply cannot afford the trip and stay in Madhubhan. That is why Marga repeatedly receives requests for discounts.
However, the property that is our home must be financed. Marga, with her big heart, doesn't want to turn anyone away because she knows how much we love coming to Madhubhan. And so she constantly vacillates between how best to manage this balancing act between giving and the fact that Madhubhan must also be managed financially responsibly.
For this reason, we would like to set up a sponsorship fund to which anyone who is able and willing can contribute. Perhaps even on a monthly basis, no matter how small the amount—every contribution is welcome.
We appeal to the collective spirit, which could also enable sadhaks who are unable to pay for this trip out of their own pockets to travel to Madhubhan.
I would like to end my appeal with a quote from Soham:
„This is how we get everything: by giving. And the more we give, the more we get. And we receive while we give. It is not an economy based on the motto: we give and get something back. Just giving. That is joy, pure joy.“
Jai Baba Swami

DONATION PROJECT FOR THE NEW MEDITATION AND SATSANG ROOM
Dear friends,
Thanks to your incredibly generous support over the past three years, we were able to complete the new meditation and satsang room in Madhubhan this spring and celebrate together on his 84th birthday.
The new room radiates tranquility and friendly light and fills Soham and all of us with great joy and gratitude every day. On the occasion of the birthday retreat in August, we would now like to settle all outstanding liabilities and implement the plans for the entrance area, a seminar kitchen, and air conditioning for the satsang room, and we ask for your support once again. We currently need €19,000 to complete these areas.
Soham is deeply grateful for every donation and cordially invites you to participate in the satsang in Madhubhan in person and allow yourself to be touched by the silence and beauty of this place.
You can find out everything you need to know via the link below. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at donation4truth@gmx.de . Please note: When donating to the project (minimum donation € 5), a voluntary donation to the platform is preset - you can simply set this to “zero.”

INFORMATION ABOUT HIMALAYA SAMARPAN MEDITATION
For all those who would like to learn more about Himalayan Samarpan Meditation, here is the link to the website of Samarpan Meditation Germany.
And here is the link to the online introduction to Himalaya Samarpan Meditation (Monday Meditation).
AN EUROPEAN ASHRAM IN GERMANY
SOHAM speaks about the meaning of an european ashram in the center of germany.
SO, WHAT DID YOU BRING BACK FROM INDIA, SOHAMJI?
I received so many gifts during my visit to Swamiji. Most of these gifts can't be seen or talked about because they are not of this world, but I can tell you some things:
My capacity to receive the blessings from the Divine has increased. And, I have notice that this is what everyone who went to Dandi received, and most likely everyone who participated in the Anushthan from Germany as well.
I did learn some practical things that have helped my tremendously. I learned that all spiritual progress begins with satisfaction. This is something that all of us who are living in the West need to expand. The Indians seem to have this more naturally (or this is a by-product of being with Swamiji for a longer period of time). Here in the West we are truly rich in a material way but we aren’t satisfied…we have all of the luxuries but can't enjoy what we have. In India, they have much less than we have but are happy in the moment.
Swamiji says that this has to do with the Nabhi chakra 3.Chakra/Solar.
I have been playing with this and notice how much better meditation is when I am simply enjoying the moment, not wanting anything more, not even wanting a good meditation. 😊
Also, I experienced how powerful it is to be a part of a huge collectivity. We were 28,000 people together for Swamiji’s discourse on the day of Mahashivratri, and the energy was amazing. But what is even more amazing, is that I suddenly had a greater capacity to receive the grace that was pouring into me.
Anyway, everything that I received in Swamiji’s presence wants to be shared with as many people as possible. So, don’t think that you missed anything. I have carried all of these gifts with me back to Germany with the desire to share them with everyone who wants to receive.
There is so much more to share and I am sure that many details will naturally flow out of me as the days go on, but let me tell you a few things about the German ashram project.
As you probably know, Swamiji as energized a “Murti” especially for us and it is very sweet. Marga said that she just felt like cuddling it when she saw it.
What was especially touching is the generosity of the Indian Sadhaks and Sadhikas. The Indians who were part of the 45-day Anushthan, took up a collection for the German Ashram and Guru Shakti Dham. Tears of joy well up in my eyes from this gracious gesture.

MEANING OF THE NAME SOHAM
The name Soham means: The presence of divinity in each soul. I am That.
It is kind of a long story how I came to ask for a new name from Swamiji. It started when I was invited to attend a retreat in India.
I had a total and immediate resonance with this extraordinary being and with what he is offering, namely “Samarpan meditation”. So, the name Samarpan suddenly became a confusion as we are suddenly all busy with practicing and sharing Samarpan meditation. And Swamiji’s ashrams are all named Samarpan. So as my last act of ‘Samarpan’ (meaning ‘surrender’), I surrendered this lovely name and adopted the name Swamiji gave me: Soham.
