Please read the following information carefully
THIS IS A LEGAL DOCUMENT THAT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Acknowledgement and informed Consent: I understand that I am a voluntary and willing participant of Nithya Kriya (the “Program”). I acknowledge that I have been fully informed of the risks and dangers involved in the Program and other related activities. I also state that I am physically and mentally capable of carrying out any instructions, yoga postures, meditations, techniques, or other activities that are part of the Program. I agree to consult with my physician prior to participating in the Program and seek medical advice if I know or suspect that my physical or mental condition may limit my ability to participate safely in the Program, as no part of program is intended to be a substitute for professional medical treatment or advise.

Assumption of Risk: I am aware that some of the Program’s activities involve unavoidable risks and dangers of serious bodily injury, including permanent disability, paralysis, and death, and I am voluntarily participating in these activities with the knowledge of the danger involved. I agree to assume complete liability and responsibility for any and all risks of bodily injury, death, all forms of mental distress, property losses or other damages, occurring as a result of or in connection with the Program, whether those risks are known or unknown.

Release of Liability and Waiver of Claims: In consideration of my participation in the Program, on my own behalf, and on behalf of my heirs, personal representatives and assigns, I hereby agree to forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue Dhyanapeeta Charitable Trust, Life Bliss Foundation, Inc., Sri Nithyananda Swami, aka Paramahamsa Nithyananda, (“Swamiji”), satsang coordinators, the Acharyas (“teachers”), their volunteers and/or anyone else directly or indirectly involved in sponsoring, hosting, administrating, marketing, organizing, managing, or conducting the Program (collectively “Releasees”) to the maximum extent allowed by law, for any and all claims or demands arising out of any injury (including death), any form of mental distress, property loss, or other damages related to (i) my participation in the Program, including but not limited to injuries, losses or damages caused by the negligence or acts of the Releasees or others, or (ii) the condition of the premises in which the Program occurs, whether or not I am then participating in the Program.

I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless all Releasees from all claims, judgments, demands, or costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with any action brought as a result of my participation in the Program.  

I understand that all blessings, instructions, teachings, and suggestions made as part of the Program are purely in a spiritual capacity and are not intended to be any sort of guarantee or definitive statement about the past, present, or the future. I understand that in connection with the Program, the Releasees do not make any claims, promises, or guarantees about the individual or group outcome of the Program or its related services.

Dispute Resolution: I agree that all disputes and differences arising between the parties of this agreement, which cannot be mutually resolved, shall be referred to the arbitration administered by American Arbitration Association. The decision of such an arbitrator shall be binding on the parties.

I expressly agree that this waiver and release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the state of California. I intend this Release to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law. If any portion hereof is held invalid, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect. 

I understand that I am giving up substantial rights by granting this Release. My continuing forward and watching the Program expressly affirms that I have read and understood the above waiver and release and that I voluntarily, freely and without duress agree to its terms, that I have the full right and authority to sign this form and that I am not a minor.

By continuing forward, you acknowledge and agree to the above Informed Consent Form.
