Around 1,450 BAPS yuvaks and yuvatis studying in schools, colleges and universities in Ahmedabad participated in the grand annual Mahapuja Prayer Assembly held at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Ahmedabad on 5 February 2012. This special mahapuja, in which each student personally performed the Vedic rituals, was held to offer prayers for the success of all students who will be appearing for their final exams in the coming weeks. Thereafter, the youths were inspired by the guidance of sadhus who spoke on how sincere effort and faith in God are essential as they prepare for their exams.
