Testimonials:
Hardik Kainth (1st Rank in Gitanushilanam ‘23 Australia – Kids Group):
Throughout each session, I prospered the idea of never giving up. During the quiz, I realised the power of the Bhagavad Gita and the unique history of Krishna. Through the exceptional support and guidance of the tutors, I found the better version of myself.
Khyati Fadia (1st Rank in Gitanushilanam ‘23 Australia – Adults Group):
I feel fortunate and blessed with the opportunity I received to read Bhagavad Gita after a while. Reading Krishna pastimes, understanding Gita Chapter 12 Shlokas, chanting prayers/Japa at the beginning of each session, etc. have invoked the quest to learn more and more. Through learning and sharing the same with my children at home, our days ended full of gratitude towards the Almighty.
I have experienced growth at personal and professional level. Now I feel more confident and less worrisome. These are the few effects I have realised with Narayana’s merciful glance on me.
