Kriya Yoga Raffle System FAQ
Raffle Process Description
We will conduct two separate raffles: one for first-time Kriya Yoga participants and another for those already initiated by Sri M.
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. Deliberately providing incorrect information for your name and date of birth will result in your registration being cancelled.
Payment & Refunds
Payment is required at the time of registration. If you do not secure a spot, refunds will be issued within 7 business days after the raffle results are announced.
Duplicate Registrations
Every individual will only get one input per raffle and any duplicate registrations will be removed before the raffle is run. Anyone who has secured a spot in one Kriya yoga retreat will not be considered for raffle for the remaining Kriya yoga retreats.
Registration Period for Kriya Yoga Retreats
Opens: August 9, 2025, at 11:00 AM CT
Closes: August 10, 2025, at 11:00 AM CT
All registrations received in our system during this period will be included in the raffle.
Notifications and Refunds
Winners and non-winners will be notified by August 12, 2025.
Refunds for non-winners will be processed by the same dates, with up to 7 business days for the refund to be reflected in the original form of payment.
Family Registrations
Families should register together in the same form to be considered together for the same retreat in the raffle.
Upanishad Retreat
The raffle system applies only to Kriya Yoga retreats. Upanishad retreat follows 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 form to be considered together for the same retreat in the raffle. For Upanishad retreat, 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 form during registration.
