From Krishnadas:

“One of my deepest passions and joy is to teach people to meditate, because I know what it’s done for me. If you give meditation even a small degree of effort you’ll get results. You’ll then naturally want to do more. And, like me, there will come a time when you can’t imagine life without it.”

Testimonials

"It’s difficult for me to even put into words the impact these Meditation classes have had on me. Before Krishnadas' enlightened explanations about what meditation truly is and the benefits it provides, I was never very motivated to meditate. Now, oftentimes, it is all I want to do."

From the article: Finding Calmness in Action

To alleviate stress I maintain a regular, daily meditation practice, which helps me go into my day calm.

Typically what activates any stress in me comes when too many things converge in the moment vying for my attention. A list of to-do's to get to, being on the phone with another line ringing and a guest needing attention.

To remain calmly active I stay focused on what I am doing in each moment. I remember to breathe deeply with a deliberate slow exhalation. I project calmness to those I am serving.”
