All of us in this group have been attending Prabhuji’s classes for a few years now, and hence have reached a level in our understanding of his talks. AVSC group meetings have been extremely beneficial to share our thoughts and opinions and also help each other to understand the concepts and apply them in our day-to-day living. My pranams to Prabhuji for all the service that he is doing by way of imparting atma jnana and helping so many of us to transform our lives for the bette

I am grateful to Sri Prabhuji for starting these AVSC group discussions. This platform has given me an opportunity to go back to the talks that I had already completed and get more clarity in many aspects. This clarity has helped me in the process of contemplation and adaptation and enabled me to face the challenges in life with a different perception. There has been a paradigm shift in my attitude towards life from why me to what next,  with an open mind. This shift has helped me live life moment to moment and find solutions to my problems here and now.

I have been attending Prabhuji’s classes for the past five to six years. And needless to say, it is his way of teaching and his commitment to make the content simple and easy to understand that has drawn me to his talks. I must say that it was only after listening to Prabhuji that I realized there is a different dimension to life than what we see and feel. I started contemplating about why I am here on this earth, what is the purpose of this life, and so on.  I have also learnt to face happy and painful experiences in my life with the right attitude, that is with equanimity and a calm state of mind. The AVSC group discussions have been very helpful in bringing regularity in our manana and nidhidhyasana.

Until I started attending Prabhuji’s classes, I was under the impression that Vedanta is only for intellectuals–it is Prabhuji’s simple and clear-cut explanation that made me realize that I can also understand and follow the vedantic teachings. Thanks to Prabhuji for starting the study circle groups. As much as these group discussions are helping me to contemplate and introspect my thoughts, they are also helping me to get over my lack of confidence to speak in front of others. After I started participating in these group discussions, I feel more confident and comfortable in expressing my thoughts and questions.

The biggest benefit that I have derived from AVSC sessions is that it has brought in a kind of discipline and regularity in doing manana. These sessions have created an opportunity to listen, understand, and discuss Prabhuji’s talks in an organized and efficient manner. I have been able to contemplate on and also raise the right questions and get answers from Prabhuji.
