Overview

Mission

Religious purpose. Support the teachings of Satguru Kodi Thatha. Supporting the Shiva Nagar Hermitage and Ashram. Supporting our teachers providing support for religious education & training, Sanskrit studies, Puja education and instruction, meditation instruction, and study of ancient Hindu text. We also offer food and clothing to the needy mostly in India.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our mission is to further the teachings of Satguru Kodi Thatha in 2025 we supported our teachers in providing daily Puja's and classes. Both online and in person. Approximately 30 people participated in classes and worship at the Hermitage this year. And maybe 100 participated in the on-line class and worship offerings throughout the year. Classes (both online and in person) focused on deepening meditation practices, learning sacred ancient Hindu prayer rituals in Sanskrit and expanding understanding of ancient Hindu text. Our spiritual leaders also offered sacred Puja's to support our community during this year. Almost all our donations come from people participating in these classes or supporting the Puja's. Everything offered by and through the Hermitage and the Ashram is supported through donations only. SNC provided funds for spiritual teachers in India. SNC supported the ongoing upkeep & maintenance of the Hermitage and the Ashram.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
