When Ammachi's IAM practice is taught, $30 or $40 is charged to cover the meals served and the teacher's traveling expenses. If there is money left over, people are offered a refund, although I doubt anyone has ever accepted it. When Amma imparts mantras during her programs there is never a fee. Nor is there a fee for the programs. Just the meals and stuff. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
