Testimonies:
This course opens the gate to enter into the house of bhakti, where there are different rooms of devotional services like hearing, chanting, reading Scriptures, worshiping the Deity, etc. I realized that Lord Krishna reveals Himself to those who chant His holy name sincerely and read the Scriptures daily in the association of devotees, and that one can understand Lord Krishna through bhakti only. - Bhawna Virmani (bhakti-pravesa batch 2023)
