The 2014 Maha Lakshmi Auction is now closed. Thank you all for taking the time to point, click, and bid in order to support the Haidakhandi Universal Ashram  - we have raised over $12,700  for the Ashram! (The numbers on this page take a little time to catch up to the fast bidding at the end of the auciton.)  A huge thank you to everyone who:

• placed a bid
• generously donated an item for auction
• invited family, friends and community to make their bid in support of the Ashram.
• a very big thank you to all of our sponsors of the auction!

Thank You All so Much!

What next? We plan to hold another auction next Spring. It has been fun and rewarding and already we've had new ideas and donations come forward.

We, of course, need to take care of the existing buildings with some of the funds raised this last 10 days.  We also hope to build a dhuni (enclosed building for the fire ceremony) so that we can have a daily fire ceremony all year round.  We would will still hold fire ceremonies outside in our two beautiful kunds when the weather is good. Shri Babaji did a fire ceremony every day at Haidakhan. He spoke of the importance of the sacred fire for the whole cosmos, so it feels important to do one on a daily basis in His home here in Crestone, Colorado too.  Shown is a photo of Him with Muniraji and Shastriji performing a fire ceremony outside of His room in Haidakhand under the sacred pepal tree.
