I have come here and I got peace and I have got most of my questions answered. And then the activities were pretty good. We learned to sing ‘pads’, it was pretty good.

We had time to play in the pool, to swim, to play table tennis and pool. And then we even had satsang. It makes satsang a bit more enjoyable. Krunal Shah U.S.A. U.S.A. In iStar you learn a lot of different things, but I guess one of the biggest things you learn is responsibility. I like everything about it, all the activities we've done.

But then after I came here, I really felt at peace whenever I did them so it helped me see the value of doing vidhi. U.K. It’s not just about learning Dada's gnan and stuff. It's like you have fun as well when you meet new people. I think everyone should come at least once to iSTAR and experience it. Akram Youth | 23
