The knowledge imparted at SewaSetu Vidya Gurukulam, being the knowledge of the Rishis, is sacred. And Vedanta being the knowledge that solves the human problem, it frees an individual from samsara, a life of becoming.
Accordingly, one cannot put a price on it, and this is the reason that there are no fees for Vedanta classes at the Gurukulam. There are also no other conditions for access to the knowledge. It is available for anyone who is interested—for the asking.
Those who have a value for this knowledge, and those who have benefitted from it, are naturally inclined to ensure that it continues to flow, which includes preserving the Gurukulam, the infrastructure that supports it.
Thus, the Gurukulam has been developed and is being supported almost entirely by the donations of these people who have imbibed the spirit of loka-anugraha, furthering the welfare of the people. Most of the expenses of running the Gurukulam are paid for by generous contributions and Gurudakshina, offerings to the teachers at the conclusion of courses.
And the entire campus with all its facilities, including the new lecture hall complex, was developed because of the contributions of people who benefited from teaching.
There are nominal fees as required by IRS regulations for course registrations and lodging, which help offset the operating expenses of the Gurukulam.
