27 March 2004, Saturday, Charlotte, NC :
Charlotte Mandir celebrated the birth of Purna Purshottam Narayan Sahajanand Swami and Maryada Purshottam Bhagwan Ramchandraji. Many attended this celebration. The program was initiated with the lighting of the lamp and thereafter an excellent Kirtan Aradhna extolling the murti of Shriji Maharaj was presented in the presence of six saints from India, Pujya Divyanayan Swami, Pujya Dharmavinay Swami, Pujya Anirdesh Swami, Pujya Aksharpriya Swami, Pujya Prasannavadan Swami and Pujya Abhayratna Swami. Major portion of the program including the Master of ceremony was delivered in Hindi. Pujya Divyanayan Swami preformed master of ceremony of the entire Ram Navmi and Hari Jayanti celebration in Hindi.
Words fail to describe the feeling of awe of those who attended the samaiyo as they were dumbfounded by the decorations, instant changes of stage backgrounds, prepared by the Haribhaktos. The auditorium reverberated with the calming stuti verses followed by the melodious and harmonious kirtans. During two speeches, the saints explained the significance of "Sant ae Swvayam Hari" and used incidents to help define the importance of maryada (discipline as they appeared in Lord Rama's life.
The entire program had superb stage lighting and audio video effects, Note worthy items presented were Bhagwan mori Naiya, a Kirtan where a boat with Ram-Laxman in it was shown drove while live Kirtan was preformed by the Navik. The celebrations concluded with the exhilaration that it began with as Charlotte mandal’s Haribhaktos performed a self-written and recorded "Janmotsav." Written in Hindi, 25 min long Janmotsav of Lord Ram and Shriji Maharaj was performed in a very distinct way that included Shiv Nritya, Ganesh Nritya and much more. The Charlotte Haribhaktos showed once again personified Yogi Bapa famous adage, "Samp, Suhrudaybhav, and Ekta" as they worked as unified group to please Shreeji Maharaj and Guru Pramukh Swami Maharaj.
