Istavrity collection
Sending your Istavrity and other offerings through Satsang Canada.
How it works
With the blessings of Acharya Dev Sree Sree Dada and permission from Deoghar, Satsang Canada receives your Istavrity and other monthly and special occasion offerings for Deoghar. A separate bank account has been opened for this purpose. Collection of Istavrity began on 1 August 2018.
As you probably know, sending Istavrity on the 30th day is the responsibility of each initiated person (Guru bhai or maa). Some of us send money from Canada, some send it through relatives in India or Bangladesh, and some have never sent money because they do not know how or where. You can still send Istavrity the way you have been doing, but you now also have the choice to send it to the Satsang Canada Istavrity account, which is authorized by Acharya Dev Sree Sree Dada for Canada-wide collection.
Every time you send Istavrity money, you will receive an “Arghya Prashasti”, your official receipt, from Nandan da. It arrives as an attachment in an email from satsangcanada@hotmail.com. If you do not receive it within one week, contact Nandan Paul or Sanjib Das to confirm that your money was received and to have a receipt issued.
Every family sending Istavrity or other offerings to Satsang Canada is assigned a unique family code. Please mention your Canadian family code, and your India or Bangladesh Istavrity family code, every time you send money.
