Only after attending the JOSD course, I understood the temporary nature of material possessions and what the real focus of my life should be. JOSD program helped me understand the purpose of my life and how to fulfil the purpose. In addition, JOSD also gave me a platform, association, literature, tools and techniques to easily achieve that purpose.

Anyone who attends this program, will definitely learn something valuable.

Bharat

The Bhakti Sastri course provides a very clear and concise study of Vedic literature, along with plenty of practical applications suited to modern times. The classes are very interactive and the instructors are thoroughly well versed in their subjects. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in Vedic study.

Divya

I’m fortunate to be introduced to such wonderful devotee association through JoSD. The first session invoked a great feeling and after continuing with the sessions, I was able to understand what’s the difference between rituals and being spiritual. Great lectures and divine prasadam transformed my thoughts on current life and showed me the way forward.

Ramakrishna

A most welcoming and loving family atmosphere where like-minded people and friends learn practical skills on how to live a calmer, healthier and happier life. The JOSD Satsanga and lectures also help me to be more steadfast and accepting of life’s ups and downs.  Not to mention the secret weapon, the sumptious and divine vegetarian dinner prasadam.

Khandu 

Personally, the JOSD sessions on Bhagavad Gita were an eyeopener to devotion (bhakti). Because if you take out bhakti form Bhagavad Gita you end up with just dry philosophy.

Josd program helped me understand what is body and what is soul. Otherwise, I would still be pursuing materialistic things.

JoSD and Bhakti Sastri has helped me to understand what is really important in life and to prioritise those things. It has also given me the opportunity to meet so many selfless people and become good friends with them.

JOSD and Bhakti Sastri helped me focus my life on real values in attaining real happiness and connecting with devotees who are practicing those values. Their guidance made my life centred on Krishna – the source of all happiness.

JOSD and Bhakti Sastri has taught me to keep Lord Sri Krishna in the centre of all my activities at all times. It has also taught me the importance of devotees’ association and without them I cannot progress in my spiritual life.

JOSD and Bhakti Sastri helped me a lot, understanding real happiness and the real purpose of life, making Supreme Lord Krishna the centre in my life. I also received a lot of help and guidance from the teachers and all the other participants.

Lavanya

JOSD and Bhakti Sastri gave me the opportunity to hear and study Bhagavad Gita, Isopanisad, Nectar of Instruction and Nectar of Devotion systematically. It gave me understanding of the importance of Sadhana Bhakti in a practical way. Learned simple but practical Bhakti process by putting Krishna in the centre by using all material things in Krishna’s service.

Shiva

JOSD and Bhakti Sastri has helped me to understand how rare this human life is and the main goal of this life, being service to Lord Krishna. As part of Bhakti Sastri I got the opportunity to study Vedic scripture thoroughly, in a very systematic manner, which helped me implement and practice devotional service in my day to day life with the association of devotees. I realised the importance of a Guru in one’s life, who could help me to know the unknown.

Subhashree

Bhakti sastri and Josd taught many things about the purpose of life, regulatory life, constitutional position of a person, humility, importance of scriptural studies, what needs to be done to go back to godhead, devotee’s association and many other things. I highly recommend these courses to whoever wants to progress in spiritual life.

Manuraj

Bhakti sastri has helped us to get an insight into the spiritual principles laid down by Srila Prabhupada. The course is tailored to meet our day-to-day commitments as well as spiral up in our devotional quotient. I truly recommend it and thank the Lord for an opportunity to be a part of this course.

Adidevi

Attending the Bhakti Sastri course helped us to associate with our teachers regularly and hear their realizations on these sacred books, which helped us immensely. We also got an opportunity to get the association of sincere students who are implementing the teachings of Vedic scriptures in their lives.

Purandar and Sri Laxmi

With the help of our teachers, I got an opportunity to systematically study scriptures like Bhagavad Gita, Nectar of Instruction, Nectar of Devotion and Isopanisad.  l truly recommended the Bhakti Sastri course to all.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada for giving such detail information about the Vedas.

Anupama

When I joined the Bhakti sastri course in 2017 I had strong atheistic beliefs due to my background as a scientist for many years. I joined because I have read other translations of Bhagavad Gita and I was curious what could be so different with Prabhupada’s translation. Bhakti Sastri is a very well-structured course with prudently chosen modules that helps one to progress in devotion and implement practically in your life.  For those who are inclined to read scriptures this course will provide fodder for spiritual thought.
