During December 2011, thousands of BAPS yuvaks and yuvatis across Gujarat and Mumbai invited their friends to the special ‘Mitra Mandir Milan’ assemblies held at their local BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandirs.
The special assemblies highlighted the valuable role played by mandirs in society by inspiring people to lead moral and spiritual lives and thus promoting peace and harmony in society. The wide range of social, spiritual, cultural, educational, medical, environmental and other activities which take place from BAPS mandirs were also depicted. The assembly also emphasized the necessity of accepting a guru who is able to selflessly guide people through the turmoils of daily life.
