Atma Dances

When a devotee dances, it is not the body that dances: Atma dances, the soul is dancing. When the soul dances, then the body has no choice but to dance. When a materialistic person dances – in a marriage party or wherever they dance – their body dances. Their soul is not happy, it doesn’t take part in that dance.

Our Promise

When we take initiation we promise to the spiritual master, the fire, Paramatma, the Vaishnavas and other witnesses, to chant the holy name of the Lord, to follow the principles.
