“Today’s generation is very near to internet and far from God. But after coming to this Culture Camp at Hare Krishna Mandir, Bhadaj my daughter has not only known Lord Krishna but come closer to him. Earlier she used to dance on movie songs and now she dances on the songs of Krishna. I request every parent to send their children to this Culture Camp” said Madhuri shah parent of student participant of the Culture Camp.
“Fascinating stories and slokas from scriptures were most interesting part. Apart from that we had lot of fun while learning glass painting, Rangoli, public speaking, semi classical dance… Chanting helped me a lot, my concentration and focus improved. Learned to depend on Krishna and he became my ‘Best Friend’. I will be missing the program a lot now” said Nandini Solanki, one of the student participated in Culture Camp.
