Testimonials

...And every day we gathered as a group and learned a little more about the teachings of Gurudeva, Dandapani's teacher and guru, that I personally love and have found to be so helpful in my life. The practices I learned on this trip were concrete, approachable, and immediately applicable. By practicing daily the teachings I learned I have created new patterns that have positively affected all aspects of my life...

"I want to thank you for your very insightful and enriching seminar held here in San Diego at that lovely location. Your way of expressing complex relationships and emotions in simple terms is extremely helpful. Of course it can apply to my own life but I also work with refugees through the IRC International Rescue Committee. Most of these people have experienced trauma. Your way of describing life experiences having an emotional component connected to it made it tangible and understandable. Not only for myself, but it gave me tools to help communicate with the people I work with. Please let me know when you will be doing seminars in the future. Thank you."

"Thank you for the workshop. The tools you offerred were quite literally the tools to set the foundations for healthy enriching relationships. Apart from your practical words of wisdom, you speak a language that flows from your presence and the feeling that you are aligned with your purpose, and not affected by modern ADD. Your energy is strengthening, calming, reassuring and healing.

I thank you for spending time in the monastery, for the lessons you have learned from your teacher, and your desire to pass them on to people outside of the monastery.

I am grateful for your wisdom and truly feel that something bigger than me put you on my path when I ran into you."

"…You are the first person that has truly made me feel like a good Hindu through my every day actions and decisions. …As a teenager I know I make things over dramatic…but you take me seriously and make me feel as though my opinions/actions/decisions/thoughts truly matter. You helped me through a very difficult time last year, and the way you affected my thought process has really changed the way I look at everything. Thank you for inspiring me."

"You're the BEST! Thanks so so much for all of your teachings. They are honestly so applicable to life and I really appreciate that. You are awesome and hilarious but also teach amazing lessons that have stayed with me for the past 3 years and will remain with me in my mind throughout my life. Thanks also for looking out for me and asking if I was alright after that serious discussion. It's great to know that there's someone to talk to…"

"…I gathered more from this week than my past 9 years at camp combined…I'm indebted to you for your advice on all matters. I felt like your lessons called out to me personally and will affect my future greatly. I really can't wait to see you next year."
