4 January 2003, Sunday, Jersey City, NJ :
With a nicely decorated Mandap of Dabhan Yagna on one side of the stage, Jersey City Mandal celebrated ‘Aksharbrahma Gunatitanand Swami Diksha Din’ very joyously on 4th January, 2004. Kirtans describing the importance and greatness of this occasion such as “Roopla Zare, Tarla Vere…” and “Chhayo Chhayo re Aanand Chhayo re…” created a proper environment right after Dhoon and Prathna. Adding to it, a small video presentation was shown to give the true history of knowledge of what exactly happened on the day of Yagna in Dabhan.
A small Kirtan Aaradhna was held by ‘Edison Kirtan Team’ containing various kirtans by Paramhanso and other Bhakta Kavis. After Kirtan Aaradhna, another video presentation was shown containing brief interviews of young BAPS saints answering questions such as how Bapa influenced them to become sadhu and what is unique about BAPS? Continuing on the same thing, P. Amrutcharit Swami talked about Gunatitanand Swami's Seva, Pramukh Swami Maharaj and also Zoli Parva in his Parayan. Sabha was asked to fill out the special forms for Zoli Parva after the Parayan. The sabha was concluded with a video Aashirvad from P. P. Pramukh Swami Maharaj.
Jersey City Yuvak Mandal did a great job in decorating the Sabha hall according to the occasion and especially creating the Yagna Mandap showing Maharaj giving Diksha to Gunatitanand Swami. Mahaprasad was served after the sabha..
