I tried to find out how much these yagyas cost but that information is kept 
hidden until you commit to the program. However, here's an unsurprising 
paragraph down at the bottom of the sign up page:

"Maharishi Yagya performances related to higher contributions produce more 
effective results. One's choice of contribution should be made on the basis of 
the intensity of problems or on the basis of the speed at which one wishes to 
achieve one's objectives. The broad principle for Maharishi Yagya performances 
is vitta sakhyam na kaaryet—"do not perform yagyas below one's financial 
capacity." "

In other words, "the more money you spend, the greater the effects." However, 
there is the general release of liability at the end which requires the 
contributor to acknowledge that there is no promise made that there will be any 
result from one's contribution, despite the implicit and explicit nature of the 
solicitation.

The well worn path of organizing a self-sustaining religion.
