This year is being celebrated as the Karyakar Suvarna Mahotsav, which commemorates the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha’s satsang volunteer force. As part of this celebration, 1,700 senior volunteers from the BAPS Children’s Activities wing attended the special Divya Sannidhi Parva in the presence of Mahant Swami Maharaj.
Based on the theme ‘Antar Akshardham’, the first day began with Swamishri lighting the inaugural lamp. Later, Swamishri was welcomed to the assembly hall by the volunteers, who sang kirtans in unison and offered Swamishri 1,700 garlands, each devoutly made by the volunteers. Swamishri honored each volunteer and appreciated their dedicated seva.
Swamishri blessed the volunteers with his presence during five inspiring sessions, each filled with unforgettable memories. The 1,000 bal karyakars also got the chance to take a group photo with Swamishri, while the 700 balika karyakars had a group photo with Shri Akshar-Purushottam Maharaj.
During the final session, Swamishri sat on a decorative swing, from which he celebrated the Pushpadolotsav by spraying sanctified saffron-scented water on the bal karyakars.
Throughout the Divya Sannidhi Parva, the volunteers were guided on different aspects of nishtha, prapti, niyam-dharma, loyalty, divyabhav, rajipo and other spiritual endeavours by sadguru swamis and other experienced swamis.
Inspired by Mahant Swami Maharaj and organized by the dedicated efforts of the swamis and volunteers of the Bal Pravrutti Central Office, the Divya Sannidhi Parva was an unforgettable experience for all the lead karyakars, enriching their personal spiritual journey.
