Testimonials

Jiva USA is an oasis for spiritual seekers eager to learn the Krsna bhakti philosophy systematically laid out by Sri Jiva Gosvami in the Sandarbhas. The organization provides opportunities for fellowship with like-minded devotees, immersion in the Caitanya bhakti tradition, and fostering a sober-minded learning environment in the spirit of open inquiry and dialogue. Most importantly, this spirit of encouraging genuine inquiry and study does not compromise on the fundamental truths of the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition.

— Aditya B.

I appreciate Jiva USA’s emphasis on learning, staying true to the roots of the Gaudiya tradition, and sincere practice. Jiva USA strives to make the knowledge of the Sandarbhas available and relevant for practitioners who are navigating the complexities of modernity. Bhakti yoga as taught by Jiva USA is based on knowledge and common sense, free from the shackles of fanaticism, anti-science attitudes, narrow minded sectarianism and proselytization.
