In order to give Yuvaks and
Yuvatis a special opportunity to please Swamishri, the West
Region celebrated Yuva Din. After singing inspirational kirtans
during Swamishri's puja, Yuvaks went to a special morning
assembly. Saints spoke about issues that are particularly
pertinent to Yuvaks and Yuvatis, such as maintaining satsang
in a fast paced world.
The evening program was centered
around the kirtan, "Yogi Bapa na prem ma, pagal thai gaya."
Yuvaks sang a verse of the kirtan in qawali style, and then
this verse was further explained by speeches and skits.
The overall message of the
evening, furthered by Swamishri's blessings, was that the
joys of the world are temporary, whereas the bliss offered
by God and the guru is true and eternal. He explained, "Amid
the constant changes of the world, God is constant, His bliss
is ever-present."
