28 March 2004, Sunday, Tampa, FL:
The auspicious birthdays of Bhagwãn Shree Swãminãrãyan and Bhagwãn Shree Rãm were celebrated in Tampa, FL. The program commenced with Dhoon, Prãrthanã, and couple Kirtans performed by Kishore Mandal and Yuvak Mandal. One of the Kishores then gave a speech on Bhagwãn Rãm in Gujarati. He talked about how Bhagwãn Rãm's life was and how we should all strive to be like him. Later on, a Vadil gave a speech on Bhagwãn Swãminãrãyan explaining his influence to the society and how that is related to what Swãmishri does at this moment. The speech had a great impact on everyone and made them realize how grateful we should be on being a Swãminãrãyan and have the company of Param Pujya Pramukh Swãmi Mahãrãj.
At the end of the program, Bãlaks performed a dance on the Bhajan, "Pragat Thayã Prabhu Chappaiyã…" This dance was very well performed and caught each and everyone's attention. After the program was over, everyone came upfront to have Mahãrãj's darshan in the "Pãranã" and also of the Annakut.
