Testimonials

From the moment I was in your presence I felt an absolute peace and comfort wash over me. The Shaktipat transmission you did was a truly amazing experience. I felt my whole being expand into a vastness that was never ending and yet it felt so safe and blissful. My whole being felt aligned with love. I caught the bus back home feeling like I was walking on air, I felt so happy. And I still do! The afterglow has not gone away. My body feels like it has more capacity than ever to hold the good stuff, my cells feel activated. There's more space in my mind and body, thoughts and feelings are lighter than before the transmission, the heavy emotions seem to have been freed. I feel like as well that there's a clear and clean breeze running through me somehow, the fog has been lifted. I am meeting my everyday life with more presence. Thank you so much Jagadananda!

I have been experiencing a kundalini awakening for nearly 20 years, and throughout that time, I struggled to find a suitable mentor. When I discovered Jagadānanda’s offerings, I began mentoring sessions with him to support my transition to the next stage of my development. His compassionate and insightful guidance created the space for a deep release of trauma that my body had been holding for more than a decade. His work is powerful and transformative, and I would recommend him to anyone seeking deeper healing on their spiritual path.

Thanks for a mind blowing retreat workshop Jagadananda. It ticked all the boxes for me and it's something I'd heartily recommend to anyone that wants to develop on their spiritual path. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Jagadananda seemed very down to earth and very empathetic and compassionate, and listened with his heart. His transmission gave me kriyas which is normal, but there is no absolute normal, since everyone has their own experience with it. But I can assure anyone deliberating over walking this path that they have nothing to fear. It's very safe, and the guru bestows this gift of grace in a very safe way. It's all about self realization and any kind of fear based thinking separates us from attaining that. So anyone reading this, please don't let fear or nervousness deter you from taking this wonderful life changing retreat. Thank you sincerely Jagadananda. I'm brimming with gratitude for this gift you bestowed.
