Camp Testimonials - 7 - Pragna Patel - Long Island, NY

Jai Gurudev!
 
First Impression: My first impression of the camp was very positive.  As soon as I entered the ballroom I felt positive energy from all the Gayatri Pariwar members.  I hardly knew few people but I felt that all these people are my somehow connected to me.
What Camp means to you: This was my first experience attending the camp so I was excited and a bit nervous.  The only goal I had in mind was to spend quality time of my life with Dr. Pandya. Dr. Saheb had asked me to come to the camp and I felt that I have to respect his words.  I was also looking forward for my daughter to meet other gayatri pariwar children.
How you felt during camp: During the camp I felt deeply spiritual and I felt so connected with Gurudev.  I cried everyday during lectures and considered myself so lucky to be part of Gurudev.  I also made new friends and learned a lot about myself.  I felt amazing energy in Dr. Saheb's room and I knew he was with us.  I asked him to grace me with strength and wisdom and do my part at the camp. I will always cherish my time with Dr. Dutta and Mrs. Dutta.  I asked them so many questions that were on my mind for so long. I felt that Gurudev was answering all my unresolved questions. I will listen to Dr. Sanon's lecture on "Parenting" forever and treasure the one on one time he spend with me and my daughter. I am humbled by the experiences of all the saints and how dedicated they are to Gurudev's work.  I will hold on to the feedback from Omkarji on public speaking and Dr. Bhatnagarji's PP on "Thoughts."

How has it inspired you?

I am inspired to spread Gurudev's thoughts through distribution of stickers and books.  I also want to support my daughter to create story books using the 18 satsankalp.

What will be the one thing you take away from camp this year?

I will hold on to the positive energy I received from this camp and will try hard to increase my patrata.
