[claire]Donations for Tara

[Mark Holmes]

Hi Everyone,

We've finalized the arrangements for the Tara fund.  She wanted to 
support the Sivananda organization with whom her life was so deeply 
connected.  In particular she singled out the Neyyar Dam Ashram where 
she lived her last weeks; also the new Madurai Ashram being built in 
Tamil Nadu, as well as the San Francisco Center that was a second home 
for her in the bay area.  The Sivananda family opened their arms here 
in Neyyar Dam, and she really wanted to see their incredible generosity 
repaid in some kind.  If enough funds are raised, perhaps a hall in her 
name could be built on the new site.

I know many of you have already given generously to support Tara in the 
last few months of her life, and these kind acts left her nearly 
speechless.  If you are able to offer anything further to support this 
kind of love in the world, please send checks or money orders to:


Sivananda Yoga Vedanta  Center
Attn:  Sabu Chaitanya
1200 Arguello Blvd.
San Francisco, CA 94122
415.681.2731
sanfrancisco@sivananda.org
On the memo line please put:  Tara Fund

Also I've put this information up on the website (or will shortly), 
along with the itinerary for the pilgrimage north to spread Tara's 
remains along the Ganges river.  More on that story as it unfolds.

Much love,

Mark
