I experienced peace only under Sanatan Dharma – Natasha  Courtes , photographer, Russia I have travelled the whole world but experienced peace only under Sanatan Dharma. I was totally a practical, realistic person; but after taking ‘Deeksha’, I am feeling very happy. I feel fulfilled in my life on becoming a part of this experience.

We experience positivity as we follow the path in search of self – Megan, a student, USA ‘Gurudeeksha’ was an unbelievable experience for me. With dedication, when we move on the path in search of self, it gives us more peace, positivity and inner strength.
