On 25th November, day-long programmes were held. The Mission premises were packed to full capacity. People from across the city and beyond and even abroad had gathered to mark the celebrations. The first session began with the kindling of the holy havan fire accompanied by devotional renditions. Didi Krishna Kumari, speaking at the occasion, said, “Saints like Sadhu Vaswani come to the earth plane to redeem humanity of its sufferings and lead them to God. To become receptive to their grace and belong to them, we must become humble.”
Devotees attending the function were seen overwhelmed with emotion. One of them, Hansika, shared, “The gathering was huge, similar to the times when Dada was physically in our midst. It brings back old, cherished, and blessed memories.”
A college student said, “I am here for the first time, and it feels extremely peaceful and inspiring. I will try to promote Sadhu Vaswani’s message of adopting a vegetarian diet.”
Following the session, guru langar – fellowship meals were served. “The food is blessed, and the vibrations divine. It’s a fortune to partake of this prasad,” said Asha.
