My time at Gokuldham of Nar was a tremendously
enriching experience. All the individuals that I have met
during this experience have been so welcoming and
wise. I was extremely impressed by that standard of
education delivered by the teachers and this is a
testament to Manish and the religious leaders who hold
high expectations or their pupils. Gokuldham is located
in a beautiful area and the people of the region I found to
be especially helpful and friendly. Hermant, the hostel supervisor has
become a very special friend to me. He helped me endlessly during my stay
and was constantly asking if I needed anything and encouraging me to take
part in religious activities. Additionally, Hermant and Sunjay made sure that I
ate like a king during my stay and were so generous when it came to meals.
The Kids I met at the Hostel will also hold a special place in my heart. Their
gratitude and respectful nature was one of the most refreshing elements of
my experience at Gokuldham.

As for my own development, I feel my time
volunteering here has taught me to embrace the benefits of living simple and
impressed on me the absolute joy of living without ego. I would encourage
any volunteers who are considering traveling to Gokuldham to embrace the
experience with an open mind and an enthusiasm to immerse themselves in
a new culture. My most precious memories are those experiences that
somewhat pushed my comfort zone. For example taking part in Arty and
sitting in on ‘Gujarati’ classes.
I sincerely thank everyone at Gokuldham for welcoming me into their community and look forward to one day returning this amazing place.
