“A moving and powerful experience.”

From the moment you step into the presence of Panditji you will feel uplifted, valued and humbled. His kindness, wisdom and joy is so evident and he is a true embodiment of all that he teaches. Everything about his way makes it an absolute joy to learn from him and I left with a desire and curiosity to learn more. I was especially drawn to the power of mantra and the relevance it still has today. Panditji explained the purpose of each mantra and enabled me to confidentially practise them on my own. Performing all the mantras in a yagya ceremony with Panditji is one of the most moving and powerful experiences I have had. It has stayed with me since leaving India and I would travel back anytime to do more yagya!

“Pure devotion.”

Pandit Baskaran is a master of the Veda and a pure example of devotion. 
He teaches not only from a place of supreme knowledge, but also from great experience. To be in his presence is to learn by doing and to be guided by his words and sense of wonder, compassion and gratitude are truly inspiring. This great teacher and gentle master helps to draw you to where he comfortably resides. A place of bliss and utmost being. All this is taught with kindness and the most sincere and innocent sense of humour.

Panditji is so kind and generous with his presence, always uplifting the space with his 200% blessings and bliss! Always knowing when to allow the mantra to dance in the air. The knowledge that flows through him is profound and absolutely exquisite. Thank you Ji. Jai Guru Deva!

“Our community’s most valuable treasure.”

Panditji is the embodiment of Bliss. He shines with bliss, laughs with it, exudes it, and infects others with it. It’s impossible to feel any negativity when you’re with him. I’ve traveled with Panditji, sat in on his numerous yagyas, received Jyotish readings, assisted him, climbed mountains with him, and learned Vedic knowledge from him. His level of devotion is exemplary and his love for everyone profound. He’s an asset and blessing to have on any retreat. Panditji is not only a master but a dear friend who continues to inspire me through his infinite capacity of love and devotion. He’s a phenom, a bundle of bliss, a force. He’s our community’s most valuable treasure.

“One of the finest examples of supreme happiness!”

The puja and yagya ceremonies facilitated by Pandit Baskaran are remarkable because of his unique ability to commune with the celestial realms. While being the master of ceremony, he also generously invites every participant into this transformative procedure to receive the shower of blessings that were triggered by him. I have been brought up by my Vedic teachers with strict traditional rules when it comes to puja and yagya ceremonies, which are important, however Panditji transcends these rites and conditions. The fine details become irrelevant as we effortlessly move into a Divine communication procedure through Panditji’s profound ways. And of course, as everyone experiences the moment they go in near proximity of Panditji, he is one of the finest examples of supreme happiness I have ever experienced. His passionate and rich heart is so big that is spills out through his cheeky south Indian smile, through his powerful young eyes, and through his delicate, warm open arms which one is so blessed to embrace.
