Veda Course
The 3-month Veda Course was for me a transformational experience. I can easily say that it changed my life completely in the best way possible. I learnt a lot about my real self and about my connection with the Divine. I met amazing people, who taught me many things just by exhibiting wonderful behaviour and qualities. I also got engaged in many services which gave me the feeling of being part of the community, part of the 'mission'. I cannot imagine anything else that could happen to me to help me grow so much. I recommend this course to everyone and I can guarantee you will not lose anything; rather – you will gain the treasure that will stay with you for eternity.
Great for all cultures
Be a monk challenge is a life changing experience indeed. Being grown up in a Christian environment I never thought, that to be a monk it is not just some kind of unachievable idea of renunciation, but rather it is a very practical idea of an unforgettable and beautiful lifestyle. Modern world needs more spiritual people, modern world needs more monks, or people who have experienced this kind of beautiful and sacred lifestyle. Joining the challenge for me means giving a chance to yourself to grow up even more, to progress even more. So take a challenge and give peace and spirituality a chance in yourself and in the world. Many thanks to the team.
