Mission and programs · 2024

• Purpose: The retreat center is used on an ongoing basis by practitioners of Surat Shabd Yoga and others interested in meditation, prayer and solitude. There are two locations on the property for solitary or group meditation. Terra Naam Retreat is located in a quiet rural setting which is helpful for spiritual development.

  Expenses $35,630

• Accommodations: The retreat provides overnight accomodations and meals. Both day visitors and overnight guests were served. There is a kitchen and meeting facility on the property. There is no fee for the use of these services. Practitioners may make free will offerings or tithes at any time. According to the teachings of Surat Shabd Yoga, physical service and financial service are helping factors in spiritual development.

  Expenses $35,629

• Study/Guidance: There is a daily group meditation and study meeting consisting of a two hour meditation followed by a video. Support and assistance are also provided to participants when needed. The evening group meditation is held in the kitchen building. No fee is ever charged for these meetings.

  Expenses $35,629

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
