My Nonprofit Reviews

Several years ago I saw their add in US1 newspaper and decided to see what this place is about. Among other things , which at that time I had no idea what they were, the add mentioned meditation ( this is what I was interested in). It was a life changing day for me.
I heard bad things about krishniates in the USSR, but never actually met one and was pretty skeptical about their bad reputation. Here in the states some people also described them to me as " dancing airheads".
There I met with the most tolerable and kind people I ever encountered in my life. From day one, I felt this is the right place for me, right people, and right teachings.
Before I came to the Institute it felt like all my life I was traveling with the right baggage on the wrong road, sometimes too narrow, sometimes too slippery, sometimes bumpy, sometimes I caused accidents, sometimes others hit me. But now I am walking along a picturesque path, surrounded by all kinds of happy animals and chirping birds, beautiful flowering trees that are whispering to me kind thoughts, and it makes my heart soft and loving toward everything and everybody around me.
This is how being around the people at the Institute and the priceless knowledge that Sripad Madhava Puri Maharaja shares with everyone changed me.
Some people use drugs/medicine when they feel bad (emotionally). I don't need drugs. Listening to the wisdom of Maharaja, to the conversations of the devotees ALWAYS brings my soul to the a different state, to the state of calmness, to the state of loving Krishna.
Hare Krishna!
