Diary Entry – Child’s first experience of Madhura Utsav

Dear Diary, I am half-way through the 21 day challenge! The whole thanksgiving break, I have been spending mu time on satsang. Satsang is word from sanskrit meaning gathering for truth on God and more. They give lectures on God, speeches and discourses. On each day, from Monday to Friday, there were different competitions, which I participated in, and in some I volunteered too! I learned so much in all of those competitions, and I even won second place in one of them. I also made so many new friend. After listened to their discourse, as a person, I am sure that I have changed in a positive way. I could go on and on, and I am really thankful, and it was so worth my time to spend my time going to satsang and on my holidays.
With Love
Shravan
