Here are some testimonials from our recent Japa Retreat in Maryland:

This was perhaps the nicest and most transformational experience I have had since I joined ISKCON in 1978. It gave me back hope and faith, both for my own spiritual progress as well as for Srila Prabhupada’s movement. Annapurna Devi Dasi ( Philadelphia, PA)

These retreats, creating an atmosphere and association where the offenseless chanting of the Holy Name can be nurtured, are of paramount importance to our society. Bada Haridas (Alachua, FL)

I thought that a retreat is what I make it, but the organizers, presenters and attendees made it even more than I could hope for. I hope one day every devotee in ISKCON can attend a Japa Retreat and get the benefits that all others and I received. This experience has opened my eyes, my heart and my ears to Krishna . Thank you. Perhaps you should facilitate a 64 rounds club to keep us inspired. Ramiya Das (Alachua , FL)

Anyone who wishes to experience a monumental transformation experience will not be disappointed by attending a Japa Retreat. Uttara Devi Dasi (Hillsborough, NC)

Any devotee that would like to become serious about their chanting should be encouraged to participate in this type of retreat. The future of our movement hinges on the quality of our chanting. Dhanistha Devi Dasi (Brooklyn , NY)

I needed this retreat so badly. I love chanting but there was something wrong in my japa and I wanted to restore the problems. At this retreat I got to look at the problems and I now have tools to chant the maha-mantra the way my heart yearns to chant. Also I thought I was the only one who had problems with my mind. It was nice to see I am not the only one! Bhakti-lila Devi Dasi ( Sacramento, CA)

Association of devotees dedicated to chanting is the nectar of life. It can’t be compared to anything in my life. One just needs to come and the see and feel the wonderful love Srila Prabhupada has given through this program. Sankirtana-yajna Das (Rockville, MD)

I left Vrindavan for America, but I found Vrindavan in the hearts of the devotees chanting Hare Krishna. Narayani Devi Dasi (Vrindavan, India)

These retreats are specially designed to connect the heart with the Holy Names. I am touched and inspired by the variety of facilitators that are committed to assisting the participants to dive deeper into the ocean of nectar from chanting the Holy Names. Vrajalila Devi Dasi

The Japa Retreat was a real treat for me and it helped me focus on my spiritual life. I highly recommend this program as an essential project for all the devotees—both senior and new. Please take it! Siromani Dasi (Manhattan, NY)

During the Japa Retreat for the first time, after many years in my spiritual life, I experienced Krishna’s presence outside of Vrindavan. Yes He is really in my heart; He is in the Holy Name waiting for me to come closer to Him. Also like never before, I got so much strength and determination to actually implement what I have learned in my daily practices. Thank you so much. Madri Devi Dasi (Minneapolis, MN)
