My Nonprofit Reviews

SELF is an amazing source of authentic Vedic wisdom. The wealth of wisdom teachings made available to the public, free or very low cost, in accessible form even for the beginner student, is unparalleled anywhere. I am beyond grateful. The guidance and knowledge I receive is helping me find my correct path and become improved in body, mind and spirit.

His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda possesses so much knowledge and experience, yet He explains in the most complex concepts and relationships in such way they can connect and be understood.

Many teachings and lectures are accessible free from the web site, with additional teachings live-streamed by video every month and for auspicious occasions. One can participate in the teaching from anywhere in the world or subscribe for a very nominal fee to access the comprehensive library on demand.

The staff and volunteers are so very kind, welcoming and helpful people, filled with great love and respect. When I have been privileged to visit California to attend an event or volunteer, every detail from travel to shuttles to lodging is meticulously attended to with utmost care and kindness. Events and retreats are offered to the public at very low cost. Staff and volunteers often reach out with information, kind thoughts and prayers in times of concern.

His Holiness is approachable and has personally taken an interest to guide me through difficult times and choices. It is comforting and impressive to receive a personal message from the office offering personalized information and prayers.

Expressing my gratitude. it is a great privilege to serve as a volunteer.
