With the help of donors, Sadhguru is planning to reduce and eliminate programs fees in about four to five years.It is my opinion that, in the absence of Guru Dakshina, there should be a fair exchange of money to support Sadhguru and all his initiatives. Also, if participants are not going to pay any money, there is less anchoring into the programs as they have to endure going beyond their comfort zone. As the participants encounter any difficulty during the programs, they will simply walk out of the program rather than challenge themselves.Hope this helps for the detail you were looking for.All the best.
