[FairfieldLife] Saving the Golden Domes

The Domes are fabulous places to meditate. They are of the 7 wonders of the 
world that way. It would be terrible in many ways if they go bankrupt.

 An anguish held by some over having TM meditators in the Domes and seeing 
Yogic Flyers is silly too considering all the Yogic Flying public 
demonstrations that have been promoted and put on. No big deal.

 Yep, get over it. Open the Domes as place for meditators to meditate also.  
 Is really silly that meditators live here in Fairfield and are not in there 
meditating in the Domes. 

 Srijau offers.. 
 a home for "TM practitioners"?  section off a part of the domes now while 
attendance is low and get TMers in there then. 
 that would do a lot for reducing perceived casteism and  making everyone feel 
welcomed and included

Subject: Update on our Golden Domes




 Dear Doug and Jennifer,
 Last year I wrote to you about a critically important new initiative to help 
sustain our beautiful Golden Domes at Maharishi University of Management.
 We are all so grateful to the many generous donors who have recognized the 
vital importance of keeping our Domes open and functional—and who have joined 
our new “Dome Supporters 1800 Group” to help safeguard these cherished homes of 
enlightenment and coherence in the U.S. But we still have a ways to go if we 
want to be able to preserve our Domes on a secure and sustainable basis.
 Our first priority for our beautiful Domes is to fill them. Everyone who has 
spent program time here knows the power and depth of Dome experiences. In this 
spirit, we invite you to be in the Domes if you’re in Fairfield, and to visit 
us often if you’re not. In order to keep the Domes open and available to 
everyone, we face some real financial challenges. The actual cost to maintain 
the Domes—heating, cooling, lighting, water, and maintenance—is $270,000 a 
year. That’s about $22,500 a month, or $5,200 a week. At present, thanks to the 
generosity of donors from around the world, we can cover about half these costs 
sustainably. But we can’t cover the other half without your help. And we don’t 
want to close even one of our beautiful Domes. Last year we established a large 
group of Sidhas from around the country to help sustain the Domes financially 
—a complementary national Super Radiance group, if you will—called the “Dome 
Supporters 1800 group.” The goal is simple: If 1800 Sidhas were each to commit 
even $15 a month to sustain the Domes—a very affordable contribution—the Dome 
maintenance costs would be completely covered, very easily and comfortably for 
everyone. So many Sidhas recognized the value of this proposal and responded 
generously, and now I’m hoping to bring this project to a very fulfilling 
fruition. Will you join us? Naturally, those of you with greater financial 
means are welcome and encouraged to make a larger contribution. You could 
consider $50–100 or more per month; or you could “adopt a week” at the Domes 
for a $5,200 gift; or you could even “adopt a month” or more. But whatever your 
financial means may be, we would like everyone to contribute something toward 
this worthy and achievable goal. Ideally, we want you to be part of both 
groups—our Super Radiance group in the Domes and our 1,800 group of 
contributors. But if you can’t be in one of these groups, then please be in the 
other. Your contributions will secure our Golden Domes—now and into the future. 
 Together, we can ensure that the largest peace-creating community in the U.S. 
can continue to grow and provide a beautiful home for TM and TM-Sidhi 
practitioners everywhere in the world. 
 Please join me in giving generously today
