Between June and August 2025, balaks and balikas across North America participated in a 4-day Adhiveshan and Summer Shibir themed “Satsang: The Journey to Rajipo.” The Adhiveshan focused on memorizing selected verses (mukhpath) from our sacred scriptures, ultimately giving participants a sense of inner, eternal peace and strengthening their connection with Maharaj and the Satpurush.
The purpose of the Adhiveshan was deeply rooted in earning the rajipo (blessings) of His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj. It aimed to teach balaks and balikas an introductory mukhpath that can serve as a lifelong foundation in satsang, provide a platform to demonstrate their excellence in mukhpath and skills, and help them recognize the practical significance of mukhpath in daily life by encouraging understanding alongside memorization.
The Adhiveshan comprised two categories: Purna Mukhpath and skills competitions. The Purna Mukhpath included verses and elements applicable to daily life and conversations—such as Vachanamrut quotations, Swamini Vato, shlokas, sakhis, kirtans, and Satsang Diksha. A notable component was Swami’s Star Challenge, which motivated participants to push their limits and memorize more.
Following the mukhpath sessions, participants showcased their creativity and talent through a range of individual and group skills competitions. Individual categories included 2D/3D art, graphic design, story writing, poetry, solo singing, classical dance, musical instruments, prasang varnan, and power talks. Group competitions included group singing and group acting.
The event concluded with a message underscoring the lifelong journey of earning rajipo—reflecting on whose rajipo they had earned and how they could continue to nurture that relationship.
