More than 850 current students from the BAPS chhatralayas (student hostels) in Vidyanagar, Nadiad, Atladara, Surat, Bardoli, Rajkot, Mehsana, Bhavnagar, and Sarangpur atteneded the three-day shibir organized by the Satsang Pravrutti Central Office based on the theme 'Antar Akshardham' (Akshardham Within), in the presence of Pujya Tyagvallabh Swami.
The shibir highlighted the two essential steps required to create 'Antar Akshardham': Agna and Upasana.
In Upasana, the students learnt in detail the understanding that Parabrahma Bhagwan Swaminarayan is supreme and is manifest on Earth through the Gunatit Satpurush. Today, Param Pujya Mahant Swami Maharaj is the living embodiment of the Aksharbrahma tradition.
In Agna, the youths learnt the necessity and benefits of daily personal puja and satsang reading. The youths also learnt about the obstacles that hinder their studies and satsang and how to overcome them to create Antar Akshardham.
This central theme of 'Antar Akshardham' was reinforced through discourses, audio-visual presentations, workshops, discussions, and other activities conducted by experienced and learned BAPS swamis.
Pujya Tyagvallabh Swami also guided the youths with his words of wisdom and encouragement.
