Dear Friend

These PRESENTATIONS are created in my inspiration to share with you what I have seen and learned in my studies as a disciple of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
I belong to my convictions, to my spiritual master and to my friends. I do not belong to any institution, not even to the ones I founded myself or participate with.
Institutions are sometimes necessary for practical dealings in this world, but they are also potencially dangerous and prone to misuse. We always have to serve the substance, the essence above all other considerations if we aspire to go on praying for grace at the shore of the ocean of love and infinity.
Therefore you are welcome to investigate ourself and our offering with a critical view. Only I beg you to give up all material prejudices or antipathy you may harbor against the religious, mystical or the unknown, in order to be able to understand the inner meaning of our service. Even if you have lost your own faith due to some bad experience in life. You came all this way to read our heart. Give us a chance to serve you.

Your servant B.A. PARAMADVAITI
