According to the dictates of their founder, the methods for practicing Sahaja Yoga are made available free of charge to those interested. Nevertheless, according to the official Sahaja Yoga website there is a fee for attending international [[Puja (Hinduism)|pujas]] to cover costs.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sahajayoga.org/swan/view/swan_358_2005.asp |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120915070213/http://www.sahajayoga.org/swan/view/swan_358_2005.asp |archive-date=15 September 2012 |title=Puja/Dakshina Costs |website=sahajayoga.org |publisher=Vishwa Nirmala Dharma |department=Sahaja Worldwide Announcements and News (SWAN) |date=20 July 2005 |access-date=26 November 2011}}</ref>

According to author [[David V. Barrett]], "Shri Mataji neither charged for her lectures nor for her ability to give Self Realization, nor does one have to become a member of this organization. She insisted that one cannot pay for enlightenment and she continued to denounce the [[false self]]-proclaimed 'gurus' who are more interested in the seekers' purse than their spiritual ascent".<ref name="barrett">{{cite book |last=Barrett |first=David V. |author-link=David V.

<!--this isn't a refutation to the previous line
Sahaja Yoga leaders have denied this, pointing out that their group is recognised in both the US and Russia, that all members are free to come and go as they please. They admit that members are asked for voluntary contributions to events and projects, but that the money does not go to the founder herself. A current member of 25 years said: "All the organisation owns is a few properties in various countries. If we were into making money, that would be a pretty feeble return."<ref name=eveningstandard /> -->
