Attendance at various locations was as follows:

Each shibir was attended by on an average of over 450 men and women devotees aged between 25 and 55. Spread over two days, devotees received 15 hours of enlightening and inspiring satsang guidance from senior sadgurus and other sadhus. From 6.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m., a well-planned and goal-oriented schedule provided devotees with guidance and motivation on topics such as, daily personal puja, mansi puja (meditation), thal, arti, listening to spiritual discourses, and many other important topics essential in the practice of daily satsang.
A survey after each shibir revealed just how genuinely motivating and enlightening these shibirs were. At the end of each shibir, devotees voluntarily pledged to undertake and observe extra niyams and make satsang a more integral part of their daily lives.
