BAPS devotees across North America participated in a Vishwashanti Abhishek Pujanvidhi from their homes . Devotees were led through this prayer by Swamis in their regional Shikharbadh Mandirs, over a livestream. Instructions for the Vedic prayer were narrated by these Swamis, while each devotee performed that action from their home praying for world peace, given the far-reaching effects of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.
