Please pass this on to your entire mailing list, of devotee friends and family.

Rather, the Buddhi Yoga Society is an independent service Co-op organization that wishes to aid in researching the needs of the devotees, in a clear and objective manner with the intention of helping to guide, and for creating solutions and programs that will help our societies. This effort is not intended for criticism or partiality. The sole purpose is reporting data with the aim of developing member services and incentive programs.

“Dharma means essential nature.
As heat is essential to fire, the dharma of all creation is to love.
We may not all love the same thing, but love we must.
Ultimately the eternal dharma of all beings beyond even life and death is to love God.”
                                                       — AC Bhaktivedanta Swami
