2005 (V.S. 2061, Chaitra sud 2 to 5) Sunday to Wednesday, Gadhada;
Divya Sannidhi Parva
A 3-day special convention
for 100 sadhus and 450 leading male and female volunteers of
BAPS Satsang Activity Cell was held in the divine presence of
Pramukh Swami Maharaj in Gadhada. Swamishri lighted the inaugural
lamp in the evening session at about 7.30 pm. The convention’s
theme was ‘BAPS, One Family’. During the three days
senior sadhus, Mahant Swami, Dr Swami and Viveksagar Swami,
also discoursed to the volunteers. Swamishri blessed the convention
in the morning and evening sessions.
In his inaugural blessings Swamishri said, “After writing
number one the more the zeroes you add, the greater its value
becomes. But if you do not have one then the zeroes will remain
as zeroes. There is no total for that. God is the figure one.
Never delete God. This means never allow any ill-feelings or
find fault in Him. Do not perceive human traits in Him. All
His actions: speaking, eating or whatever, are divine, divine
and divine. But when you see human traits, the one is erased.
Then you are left with zeroes and the cycle of life and death
continues… No matter what number of mundane props you
have, none will be of ultimate use. Only God’s support
will be of benefit…”
In the following three days there were question-answer sessions
with Swamishri, skits and audio-visual presentations.
