“Fabulous speaker! I can’t get enough of Caru Das. Wise, funny, engaging, entertaining and you feel the truth and integrity of his message. Forget religion and preconceptions about the Krishnas etc and just listen to be uplifted. You’ll feel like you’ve rediscovered the long lost human codex or manual to existence and satisfying living.” Laura
