In 2024, the Northeast region held the first-ever Kishori-Yuvati Amrut Cup Volleyball Tournament in Hillsborough, NJ. This two-day event saw Kishoris and Yuvatis come together enthusiastically to build relationships among players from various centers.
Every serve, bump, spike, and cheer exemplified HH Mahant Swami Maharaj's teachings of samp (unity), suhradbhav (solidarity), and ekta (oneness). These principles were highlighted during the morning programs, reminding participants that the true purpose of the games was to strengthen bonds with each other.
The tournament underscored the importance of communication and teamwork in achieving goals and scoring points. In moments of pressure, teams relied on their faith in one another, with every action reflecting their ability to communicate and desire to foster unity. These values, perfected on the court, emphasized the necessity of incorporating them into daily life to fulfill Mahant Swami Maharaj’s vision of becoming one team.
The first-ever Kishori-Yuvati Amrut Cup was made a reality due to the endless support of the local and regional volunteers. Their relentless devotion in planning and supervising the tournament provided an atmosphere in which all the participants could thrive within their own satsang journey.
Events like the Amrut Cup promote camaraderie and sportsmanship, fostering unity and creating lifelong friendships.
