To the number of India’s rishis, gurus, and masters who dedicated their whole life to discover amazing universal secrets for the welfare of the humanity.

I am convinced that everything has come down to us from the banks of the Ganges—astronomy, astrology, metempsychosis, It is very important to note that some 2,500 years ago at the least Pythagoras went from Samos to the Ganges to learn geometry...But he would certainly not have undertaken such a strange journey had the reputation of the Brahmins’ science not been long established in Europe...

Ancient India: 10,000 Years Plus of an Dazzling Civilization

India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India.

—Mark Twain

The most ancient system of Money

Whatever sphere of the human mind you may select for your special study, whether it be language, or religion, or mythology, or philosophy, whether it be law or customs, primitive art or primitive science, everywhere you have to go to India, whether you like it or not, because some of the most valuable and instructive materials of the history of man are treasured up in India and India only.

—Friedrich Maximilian Müeller

Ancient India had the most positive approach to money. They knew that money is a part of life and hence has its relevant space. They also discovered how to transcend and go beyond money. Hence many systems were created which are timeless and universal in nature. The masters had great wisdom to come down to the levels of consciousness of the common people. They spoke in metaphors, gave examples, and devised systems that anyone could understand. The sadness today is that those timeless messages have been lost to the modern society. Also what the rishis meant have been drastically misunderstood and misrepresented.

It will be great to become fully aware, go back to the times of the rishis, and understand what they said of the purest truths that existed. They spoke in many ways but the basic was always the same: Follow the system to get good results.

So I am taking you back to the time where you can listen to the original voices of the rishis, gurus, and masters. Read with attention, and yes follow the system to lead a grand life. Let us understand the first system: System of Purusharthas.

10

System of Purusharthas

If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India!

—Romaine Rolland

Purusharthas means the individual’s objectives to living. The individual has to adhere to a system so that she/he has a meaningful life.

The four pursusharthas are Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha.

Let us put the above technical terms into practical livable truths:

Dharma means righteousness and duties, i.e., well-thought-of rules and regulations for harmony of self and nature.

Artha means material, money, and wealth.

Kama means desires.

Moksha means liberation or enlightenment.

The beauty of the system is its timelessness. Do look at the chronological order which is the most relevant part of the system.

Dharma: The first is to create within us is the dharma—the right and wrong. Right and wrong cannot be defined by universality. It is always individual in nature. Money can be easily made with dubious means. So it is an individual’s responsibility to decide the right ways that he thinks he can make money or create wealth. The onus likes totally with us. The only person who you need to encounter each day and night is your own self.

Look at the kind of freedom it can give us. If you made money in an unfair corrupt manner, then you need to face the consequence of the society laws and also your own emotions. Money made by fairness is always rewarded by peace of mind within. So live a life of dharma—the right conduct for your own benefit.

11

Artha: Now that you have created the right rules, use these rules to fulfil your duty of earning money. Use this money for your family and also for societal development. It is perfect to earn enough or more than enough money in a right way. Ensure that this money gets converted to wealth. This money-to-wealth journey becomes meaningful.

Kama: It means desires. As a human being, we are all born with desires. It is a very intrinsic part of our life. Use the money earned righteously to fulfil yours and your family’s desires.

Moksha: It means liberation. The last is the most important and these days it has become the least important because of the rapid materialization and a very unhealthy way to live without awareness. The only purpose of life is God realization or self-realization.

If we have fulfilled the first three stages in a harmonious manner, then the fourth is a natural process. The fourth “Moksha” is a non-doing state. It just happens.

This can be combined with another system called as ashrama or stages of human life.

12

Four Ashrama or Stages of Human Life

Whenever I have read any part of the Vedas, I have felt that some unearthly and unknown light illuminated me. In the great teaching of the Vedas, there is no touch of sectarianism. It is of all ages, climbs, and nationalities and is the royal road for the attainment of the Great Knowledge. When I read it, I feel that I am under the spangled heavens of a summer night.

—Henry David Thoreau

There are four ashramas. They are as follows:

1. Bramacharaya

2. Grihastha

3. Vanaprastha

4. Sanyasa

The Raghuvamsam family, the ancestors of Rama, followed this system to perfection. They divided a life span into 100 years and gave each stage about 25 years.

Bramacharaya (0 to 25 years) is the first stage and a stage of “studentship”. For the first 25 years, the only task anyone should do is to study. This study is holistic in nature. This could be gathering knowledge in any arts, mastering various subjects, and also developing a skill for any job/occupation. The whole energy is poured into studying. Hence the students are sent to ashrams (a small abode for learning) under the guidance of the most revered gurus and masters. There is no diversion and the whole focus is to become adept in skills and study well.

Grihastha (25 to 50 years) is the second stage and the stage of householder. Only because of the first stage can the second stage exist in perfection. In this stage, he uses his skills which he has learnt in the first stage and earns a livelihood. He earns money, creates wealth, marries, has children, and fulfils all duties of a householder with complete responsibility. He performs his duties with dharma for his family and the welfare of the society.

13

Vanaprashta (50 to 75 years) is the third stage or stage of retirement. Here the children are groomed to take responsibilities before he departs to the forest. This is also a stage of analysis of how well he has lived the life, a stage to slow down, and slowly detach from the day-to-day chores. Now it is time to move from the outer world of material to the inner world of spiritual. He hands over his complete empire to his children and ensures that they are trained and qualified to handle this responsibility with perfection.

Sanyasa (75 to 100 years) is the last stage where he retires to the forest and stays with gurus or alone. The only purpose is to realize the self now. Surrender to God and attain moksha or liberation. Having lived life fully now is the time to arise the God within.

What an awesome system. This takes into account age, energy, health, vitality, sharpness of mind, etc. All one has to do is follow each system as it is and naturally the best outcomes would happen. This is so scientific.

When we lead a life without awareness and no systems, there can be disastrous consequences for the whole family.

The stage between 0 and 25 years was meant to gather skills and study. Now we have wasted it by not gathering wisdom, and not acquiring a skill. There is no foundation built for life. Whatever we do now will have no meaning and the roof of our life will collapse with the slightest uncertainty and confusion. We also indulge in activities like reckless sex which had to be done between 25 and 50 years. Tremendous imbalance gets created. We have paved way for a disastrous life from now on.

Now between the ages of 25 and 50 years, we cannot earn the desired money because we wasted all the time and have no relevant skill. We are confused with our career. We are not clear what is good for us, job or business. So we job hop, do business, suffer losses, and finally are not successful because we are still searching and seeking what is right for us. In this confused stage,

14

we marry because of societal pressures, have children, and now pull the whole family into the darkness.

Between the ages of 50 and 75 years, we have to hand over what we created. Having created nothing meaningful, there is nothing to hand over to the next generation. We hand over debts, confusion, misery, and pain which we have created all these years.

The last stage between 75 and 100 years physically shrivelled and mentally tired, we pray for early death instead of awakening the God within.

Secrets of Mahalakshmi—Goddess of Money

India has two million gods, and worships them all. In religion all other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire.

—Mark Twain

Amongst the pantheons of Indian gods and goddesses, Mahalakshmi remains supreme, being the goddess of wealth and prosperity. To understand gods and goddess, one has to understand the superintelligence of our ancient rishis and gurus who could depict energy into wonderful forms. One has to go deep within the forms, decipher the secret messages of the various symbols in each form, and transcend them to go into the divine energy space into the formless.

Popularly, Mahalakshmi is depicted as a beautiful woman of golden complexion, with four hands, sitting on a full-bloomed lotus and holding a lotus bud, which stands for beauty, purity, and fertility. The lotus is also the only flower which can bloom in the dirty mud depicting the unlimited potential in each of us to bloom in any environment. She is surrounded by water, here water symbolizes life. Also water must flow, lest it starts stagnating and thereby starts stinking. Money hence must also flow and circulate, hence called as currency coming from the root word “current”. All those who hoard money and not allow it to flow are called as “stinking rich”, for they do not understand the complete nature of money and life.

Her bright image shows grandeur and richness in every way depicting that “God wants us to be rich and prosperous.” Her four hands represent the four ends of human life—dharma or righteousness, kama or desires, artha or wealth, and moksha or liberation from the cycle of birth and death. These are the pillars of our life and are the basis of the Vedas and Upanishads.

Gold coins are seen showering from her right hand blessing her worshippers to attract wealth. She is dressed in a green saree

16

depicting fertility, growth, and the manifested energy. At times, she is wearing a red saree—red symbolizes activity and potential energy.

Two white elephants are shown standing next to the goddess and spraying water. This denotes ceaseless effort, in accordance with one’s dharma and governed by wisdom and purity, leading to both material and spiritual prosperity.

Lakshmi is also associated with the white owl, which has two symbolisms. One of wisdom and luck, the other stands for stupidity which means that wealth not handled properly can vanish because of arrogance and pride. Hence Lakshmi is said to be “chanchal” or fickle minded. Some scriptures mention Lakshmi’s sister Alakshmi who causes misfortune depicting not adhering to the laws of money.

Incidentally the word “Lakshmi” is derived from the Sanskrit word “laksya”, which means “aim” or “goal”. Lakshmi or money will come to all those who have a very clear aim or goal. As clear as Arjuna who says “I only see the eye of the bird,” when asked by his guru Dronacharya.

Friday is most associated with Lakshmi. Friday is Shukravar in Sanskrit or planet Venus. Venus is a beneficent planet which rules material comfort and luxury. Also Friday comes from Freia, the viking goddess of fertility.

Dusk is the time of Lakshmi pooja. It is extremely important to keep the house spotlessly clean and pure on Diwali. Goddess Lakshmi likes cleanliness, and she will visit the cleanest house first. This is also the reason why the broom is worshiped on this day with offerings of haldi and kumkum (i.e., turmeric and vermilion, respectively).

We also worship money, ornaments, and other material possessions to express “thankfulness” and “gratitude” to Goddess Lakshmi for showering her grace on us. Let this be a grand celebration for you and your family.

17

The Most Powerful Secret of the Word “Mahalakshmi”

India—The land of Vedas, the remarkable works contain not only religious ideas for a perfect life, but also facts which science has proved true. Electricity, radium, electronics, airship, all were known to the seers who founded the Vedas.

—Wheeler Wilcox

The word “Mahalakshmi” comes from the Sanskrit words “Maha” and “Lakshaya”. Maha means big or huge. Lakshaya is the root Sanskrit word which means focus.

The biggest secret of money is revealed in the word “Mahalakshmi”. The energy of Mahalakshmi blesses all who have big focus towards money. In that sense, money energy will start travelling to them. Focus and paying attention to money are the most important attributes to attract money into your life. If you want a healthy money life, start to pay attention to money now.

Our consciousness is never stable. It keeps moving in all directions. Sometimes, we are focused and at other times, we lose focus. Hence, money never becomes a stable aspect to our life.

When you focus on solutions, solutions appear from all over. When you start to focus on problems, problems appear from all over. Let us take an example: There is a spider building a web in your home. If you pay attention to it, you can remove it. If not, the web will start to grow and when it reaches a threshold, cobwebs will appear all over your home. This is similar to money problems. When you pay attention, then you are able to solve the problem, else you lose control and the problem increases and spreads into many areas of life.

Let us focus to the word “Maha” which means huge or big. The whole universe represents this attribute of big or huge. Look at the oceans, mountains, deserts, sky, etc. all are huge and

18

sometimes never ending. Just stand in front of one ocean and you will not be able to see the ends. There is never a shortage out there. So the universe is a representation of huge or big.

We should borrow this bigness from the universe. As a human being, our potentials are unlimited. It is our daily choice to work with big or small potential.

Let us daily practice to think big.

19

Practical Secrets to Money

We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.

—Albert Einstein

What is the significance of Friday?

Indians discovered more about consciousness and energy than anyone on this earth. They discovered “Friday” as the money day. Friday is called as “Shukravar”. This is based on the planet Venus. The planet Venus is a feminine planet (later we will see the secrets of money with respect to male or female energies).

Venus is planet of fortune. Venus stands for love and leisure. She represents inner feelings which when balanced leads to inner and outer balance. She also represents the power of the material and the spiritual. Venus also corresponds to the colour green and red.

Practical aspects

Just become aware that Friday is a money day. Any decision pertaining to money can be taken on a Friday with the blessings of the energy associated with it. At the subtle level, all play is the play of energies and consciousness. We need to understand and master both for good results. Riding on the ocean wave is always effortless. Similarly, understanding the money energy of Friday can turn out to a good luck for us.

Many ask me: Should money be given or not given on Friday?

We must understand that money has to be circulated. Money is also called as currency which comes from the root word “current”. Current is meant to flow. You would have noticed when water does not flow, it starts to stink. Hence the term “stinking rich people”. They are those who do not understand the complete significance of money, they hoard and stop the flow of money.

20

To be in harmony with the essences of money energy, money should be circulated with awareness. Hence we can give money on a Friday.

21

Significance of Red Colour

If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India.

—Max Mueller

In the chapter ‘The Most Powerful Secret of the Word “Mahalakshmi” ’, you read that Mahalakshmi is adorned in a red or a green saree. Let us understand the influence of the colours “red” here and “green” in the next chapter.

Red is a male or yang colour. It is a very strong and noticeable colour. Indians also discovered that the muladhara or the root chakra is of red colour.

Red represents power and confidence. It is associated with fiery heat and warmth. It is the colour of blood, and as such has strong symbolism as life and vitality. It brings focus to the essence of life and living with emphasis on survival. Red is also the colour of passion and lust.

Put some red in your life when you want the following:

• Increased enthusiasm and interest

• More energy

• Action and confidence to go after your dreams

• Protection from fears and anxieties

Red also has been used extensively in China and in Feng Shui. It represents the colour of good luck and happiness.

Practical aspects of Red colour

You may keep some money in a red colour cloth or envelope.

You may have some red colour in your home in some place. This will give you an outward drive and enthusiasm.

You may keep your money in a locker (safe box) at home or office wrapped in a red colour cloth.

22

Whenever you gift money, do so in a red envelope. The energy of red would make it more auspicious and give good luck.

At the start of the year, take a book where you write your accounts and on the first page, draw a huge prosperity symbol of Indian swastika in red colour and write “Shubh Labh” which means good prosperity.

23

Significance of Green Colour

There are some parts of the world that, once visited, get into your heart and won’t go. For me, India is such a place. When I first visited, I was stunned by the richness of the land, by its lush beauty and exotic architecture, by its ability to overload the senses with the pure, concentrated intensity of its colors, smells, tastes, and sounds...I had been seeing the world in black & white and, when brought face-to-face with India, experienced everything re-rendered in brilliant technicolor.

Keith Bellows

Green is the colour of the nature symbolizing universe. It stands for growth and fertility. The American dollar was created in a state of high consciousness by a group of mystical people who embedded the energy of colour and mystical symbols in the one dollar bill. Thus American currency became the world currency. It is also called as “greenback”.

In India, the heart chakra is green colour. The heart chakra is the centre point and is in between the three lower materialistic chakras and the three higher spiritual chakras. The heart chakra represents the most powerful energy of “love”.

Put some green in your life when you want the following:

• A new state of balance

• Feel a need for change or growth

• Freedom to pursue new ideas

• Protection from fears and anxieties connected with the demands of others

24

Practical aspects of Green colour

As green symbolizes growth, have some green plants around your home. As the plant grows, the energy will also ensure you grow in your life.

Green objects add a lot of pleasantness in life. We become balanced and harmonize from within. This is a pleasant state to be in.

You could cover your money in a green cloth and keep it in cash box.

25

The Best Time for Day-to-Day Activities

So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked.

—Mark Twain

There are appropriate times for performing or thinking about money and prosperity. These are just indicators or pointers as when the energy of time can be synchronized with money consciousness.

Bramhamuhurat

The first appropriate time of the day is the time called as Bramhamuhurat which literally translated means the suitable time of Bramha. Further, one has to understand Bramha, which means “creation”. So Bramhamuhurat means the most perfect time for creation. The time is about 01.30 h before sunrise, which is at around 04.30 am to 06.00 am each day.

Human beings have been blessed with the unique ability to create. Whatever objects you see around are the wonderful creation of humans. From the speediest of cars to airplanes which can fly at 50,000 ft above the ground; from the fanciest garments to the delicious eatables, from mobiles to computers; and the so many grand homes, offices, buildings, and architecture are all wonders of human creation.

The biggest secret of creation is that all creations happened in silence. So for about 15 minutes, one can be silent going inwards with eyes closed, meditative, and contemplative at 04.30 am. Then one can create that particular day how it should happen in the mind. With eyes closed, visualize the whole day event after event till the end of the day. See it like a slide show, only you end the picture of events being completed to your satisfaction. At this time, you can also wish and desire material things, themes

26

for projects, ideas for stock picks, and whatever you wish.

Some fools feel that desires are a root cause for misery. And they always keep saying to themselves that “I don’t desire” or “I won’t desire” which itself funnily is their desire. We have the beautiful word “Bramhand” which means the manifested universe. The whole universe that you see around has been desired by a greater power or force, some of you many also call it as God. If God can desire and create such a vast unique world around, why not mere mortals like you and me?

Sunrise

The second aspect of the day is early sunrise—around 06.00 am to 07.00 am. This is when the unique oldest physical exercise called the Surya Namaskar can be done. Surya Namaskar is paying a tribute to the sun which is the original source of all energies on this planet. This is the time when the radiation of the sun is very healthy for all of us. So walking, exercising, and being out in the open are very suitable.

Day time

The time between 07.00 am and 06.00 pm is the time for “opening up”. The flowers bloom, the birds come out of their nest and fly around, the morning has started when the whole energy is the moving energy. The whole day activity is done during this time.

Dusk

There is a very important time called as “dusk” which is neither morning nor night. Say around 06.30 pm to 07.00 pm.

This according to ancient Indian shastras is the time of Mahalakshmi. This is the best time for space clearing. This means to remove negativities from your home or office spaces. During this time, you can light sambrani or dhoop sticks. The Shetty community of Mangalore who run large hotels and restaurants in Mumbai always do this. They have a person who will take a sambrani dhoop with the typical vessel and coal burning all over

27

the hotel. This removes the negativities in spaces and goddess Mahalakshmi comes to those spaces which are pure and clean. Money and prosperity is attracted to those spaces which are having pure and clean energy.

Night

Then is the “night time” from 07.00 pm onwards which is called as the “closing time”. The birds come back to their homes and the flowers close their petals. The metabolic activity is also slowing down in the body. The whole energy is “slowing down”. This is the best time for dropping resentments, hate, jealousy, etc. These are the negative forces within us that hinders our progress. So the best is to get rid and to throw them out as garbage. Otherwise, they start stinking in our body, mind, and soul. Most of the diseases originate from them. The best way to let go these negative feelings is to take a paper; write all that you feel about the person or incident; and express fully all your anger, hate, and resentment as it is. Keep writing which means that those negativities are now moved from your body and mind to the paper. You have transferred them and have moved the energy before they start forming bigger blocks. Now burn this paper and as it burns feel that the emotions of negativity within you are being burnt out. After you have done this, you will feel lightness and free within. Now you can fill yourself with positive feelings like love, gratitude, etc.

These are pointers and have to be used as an awareness tool. It is like riding the wave. If you are a swimmer and are swimming in the sea, you would be aware that when you ride the wave you need very less effort, which means with very less effort you can swim more. The same analogy works here too. It is great to be aligned with time but greater still to transcend time itself. This is possible as you move higher in your spiritual spaces.

28

What Is the Energy of Money?

India will teach us the tolerance and gentleness of mature mind, understanding spirit and a unifying, pacifying love for all human beings.

Will Durant

Indian scriptures reveal that the first layer in the universe is nothing. This nothingness is also called as shunya (zero) or the void. From this nothingness starts the journey of energies. Two energies emerge which is the start of this material world—en-ergies of Shiva and Shakti, the yang and the yin or male and female. These energies further divide themselves into 9 other energies which are represented by the influence of the planets (navagraha).

Indians way back say thousands of years ago discovered that the energy of money is “feminine”. Hence they depicted it through the Goddess Mahalakshmi.

The inward energy is the feminine energy. As the outward is the projection of the inward, we need to be very aware of our inward states. The law of gravitation applies on all of us; simi-larly, there is a higher principle which is the law of levitation. So when you break free of a lower principle, then the higher principle is available to you. During yogic processes, actually you can levitate. Thus you have mastered the higher principles of energy.

Our single biggest problem in attracting money is we are apply-ing male energy for money which is a feminine energy. There is disconnect, disharmony, and non-alignment. You would have heard the phrase “the more you run after money, the more the money runs away from you”. To shift from the male energy to the female energy is not very easy.

29

We need to understand energy from every perspective. These become easier in the presence of a live master.

There are three attributes which will generate the feminine state of money: 1. Gratitude2. Love 3. Respect

Gratitude

Gratitude in ancient India had a chronological order. It was expressed first to mother (representing all female energies), father (representing all male energies), gurus (anyone who has helped you to learn), and God (divine energies).When we have issues with our mother, we have issues with all feminine energies. Hence we will also have issues with money. We will also have issues with all women in our life because they are all extensions of the feminine energy of mother. The issues with father is similar.

The only attribute you need to have is gratitude. You need to have immense gratitude daily to money. As you touch money each day in some form or the other, feel the gratitude to the source of money; send thanks to your boss, customers, or anyone who helped in generating money. Whatever material or non-material you come across, feel the thankfulness. Grati-tude is multiplication energy. Whenever you express gratitude, you immediately activate powers for multiplying the goodness around.

30

Love: here is tremendous hate for money worldwide. There is a deep hypocrisy associated with money. Just decide whether you need money in life or not. If you need it, then start building friendship with it. Love is the most powerful energy to attract money.

Respect: Start to respect your own self, job/business, everyone around your life, and also money. Also when you handle money or plastic currency, handle it with respect.

You need to ask yourself: Oxygen, blood flow, and heart beats are all happening effortlessly in my body. All of them are far more important and vital than money. Then why do I at times get stuck on issues of money?

There is more to energy shifting and when you are ready for it, the answers and methods will come to you on their own.

31

Mantras

The mantra becomes one’s staff of life and carries one through every ordeal. Each repetition has a new meaning, carrying you nearer and nearer to God.

—Mahatma Gandhi

Mantras are India’s greatest gift to the world. The word “mantra” is derived from two Sanskrit words: “man” means mind and “tra” means protect or freedom. It literally means free the confused mind and allow the mind to become peaceful within. They have been created by gurus and masters of India thousands of years ago. They are discovered in a deep meditative state and directly from the universal vibrations.

Mantras are sound vibrations using a fusion of ragas, vocals, and music to achieve a particular result. They are energy based sounds and they produce magical results. The person listening to the mantra reaches the same state as the sound vibration of the mantra. This vibration attracts similar vibrations from the universe.

In India, there are many mantras. There are mantras for money, relationships, health and prosperity, to get married, to have children, and to discover higher spiritual powers within. At the Money Workshop, we have chosen many mantras for attracting money and prosperity. Mantras are the cheapest form of tool or therapy.

Each day just listen to the mantra for few times. Allow the vibration to permeate every cell of your body. You can listen to the mantra while driving your car, doing some work at home, and also with a good headset. Enjoy and get transformed from each mantra. Sit back, relax, and get transported into a whole new world of positivity.

Money Workshop—Experience It Live

Run your fingers through my soul. For once, just once, feel exactly what I feel, believe what I believe, perceive as I perceive, look, examine, and for once; just once, understand and experience.

—Anonymous

Where “materialism” and “spirituality” go hand-in-hand

Every journey is complete only when you experience it fully. If I were to describe in minute details about a sweet dish, what use it is unless you taste it? If I were to describe the scenic beauty of the Himalayas, what use is it unless you happen to visit the Himalayas? If you see a painting of the Sun, it can’t give you light. If you see a painting of a flower, it can’t give you the fragrance...

Therefore, in the Indian tradition, a lot of importance was given to real experience. Words cannot describe the deeper truths. A live physical presence is a must.

You must attend the Money Workshop, live. Money Workshop is a two days intense program on money, wealth creation, abundance, and prosperity. When you dive and go deep, the experience also becomes deeper and crystallizes. If you want quick breakthroughs, perfect solutions, enhanced powers, and want to see yourself on the path of prosperity, you must attend the Money Workshop.

Money Workshop happens mostly by word of mouth. So if someone referred you, they did for your own welfare. Understand the hidden message of the Divine. Money Workshop always appears at the most appropriate time in your life. Pray that money comes easy and you have enough time to attend with happiness and joy. You are welcome with your family, friends, and loved ones. If you are meant to be a part of the wonderful gathering of beautiful people, then the way will be made clear.
