On Sunday, May 25, 2003, the Charlotte B.A.P.S. Mandir celebrated the auspicious occasion of Yogi Jayanti themed "Yogiji Maharaj ni Jivan Bhaavnaa". Through a series of melodious kirtans, multi-media presentations, and thought-provoking speeches, the audience was enlightened with how Yogiji Maharaj created and sustained spiritual virtues in man, and destroyed their inhuman, demonic natures. The program was topped off with mahaprasad prepared by the balika, kishori, yuvati & suvasini mandal.
On Tuesday, May 27, 2003, the tithi date of Yogiji Maharaj's birthday, haribaktos attended the special evening sabha. Dr. K.C. Patel, to whom Yogi Maharaj had given ashirvad to establish Satsang in the United States, delivered a powerful speech outlining who Yogiji Maharaj was and how powerful His sankalps of a mandir in Delhi and of 700 sadhus were. He also mentioned how both sankalps were brought to fruition by Pramukh Swami Maharaj this year. Two beautiful cakes were offered to Thakorji.
