Around 640 kishores and kishoris of Bhavnagar participated in the Annual Regional Kishore-Kishori Shibir held in Sarangpur from 13 to 16 November 2010 in the presence of Pujya Mahant Swami.
Together with speeches by Mahant Swami and other experienced sadhus the shibir theme – ‘Yuvano Jago’ (‘Arise Youths’) – was reinforced through question-answer sessions, audio-visual presentations, group discussion sessions, debates, skits and involvement games.

Before departing, the youngsters pledged to perform daily puja, attend the weekly kishore assembly, bow daily to parents and develop firm faith in Bhagwan Swaminarayan.
