About the Sahaja Australia Group Email (SAGE) system

The Sahaja Australia Group Email (SAGE) System makes it easy for Yogis in roster Groups and Councillors to communicate with each other via email when planning for Burwood programs, Pujas or another group duties.

The system ensures everyone in a Group is included when the group is having discussions via email. It also allows Councillors to send emails directly to the Groups.

How are Groups set-up?

  • Each Group is set-up in our SAGE system with a unique ‘group email address’… such as “[email protected]”, “[email protected]”, “[email protected]” etc, etc
  • The name and email address of each yogi is assigned to their respective Group in the SAGE system. Everyone continues to use their existing email address.

How does the system work?

  • If you want to send an email to everyone in your assigned Group, then just send your email to your Group’s email address (for example, [email protected]), then everyone in your Group will automatically receive your email.
  • Each person in the Group can respond to everyone else in their group by just hitting REPLY to the email.
  • Everyone in the same group will then receive the reply email. Everyone can continue to reply with their responses, there’s no limit.
  • Only people assigned to the Group can send emails to their Group.
  • Emails from someone else, not assigned to the group, are ignored by the SAGE system.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I use my existing email address when sending to the Group?
    YES. You continue using your existing email address.
  • Do I have to use a new email program, or log into a new system, to use the new group emailing system?
    NO.  You continue using your existing emailing method to send and receive emails, whether it’s on your computer, tablet or mobile device. You will continue to receive group emails in your Inbox. Remember to just hit REPLY, when you want to respond to everyone your group with your own message/response.
