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.

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.

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.

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.
