TESTIMONIALS FROM THE LAST YEAR SHIBIR:
Ms. Sonaly Dudhekar: "I felt the shibir was very helpful. The way of teaching by Jitenbhai was very practical, simplistic....and the emphasis was more on how to apply than theory. I think the methods and the tools he shared with us, we can easily adapt to. So, I feel like it was one of the best workshop I had."
Ms. Priti Khara: "Shibir was very enlightening. Usually you listen to all the gurus who are older than you. For a change, this time I was listening to someone who was much younger than me and having so much wisdom. He answered questions which were in my mind and which were unspoken; and that really cleared a big cloud and gave us a proper path and vision of how to improve our life."
Dr. Bindesh Shah "Shibir was excellent. અમને બહુ લાભ મળ્યો. It has given me strength and pathway to spiritual life."
