The 2025 residential satsang shibirs for UK & Europe were held during the month of August at Warwick Conference Park, bringing together more than 4,000 delegates of all ages to help develop their understanding and application of core satsang principles.
The shibirs were separated into four age groups, allowing young and old to learn according to their interests, capacity, and needs.
The Bal-Balika Sevak Training Summer Camp (for 8- to 13-year-olds) was held from 14 to 20 August, with over 110 selected children, supported by 40 volunteers. Themed on the four mahavakyas of Shastriji Maharaj, the shibir helped to develop a stronger identity, firm conviction in Akshar-Purushottam upasana, and a deeper jodaan (spiritual connection) with Mahant Swami Maharaj for all the delegates.
The Kishore-Kishori Shibir (for 14- to 22-year-olds) was held from 16 to 18 August. It attracted more than 630 enthusiastic youths for a four-day youth convention that immersed them in the life and legacy of Brahmaswarup Shastriji Maharaj, whose sacrifices secured the eternal siddhant of Akshar-Purushottam for generations to come.
The Yuvak-Yuvati Shibir (for 23- to 35-year-olds) was held from 14 to 17 August, in which around 850 yuvaks and yuvatis participated. Inspired by Mahant Swami Maharaj’s Diwali ashirwad, the shibir guided participants to move from understanding prapti (what we have attained) to cultivating pratiti (unshakeable conviction).
The Sanyukta Shibir (for over-35s) was held twice – from 22 to 24 August and 24 to 26 August – to accommodate the more than 2,300 delegates. During the shibir, they were carried on a spiritual journey from vichār (understanding) to vishwās (faith), and priti (love), culminating in pratiti (unwavering conviction) of having attained Bhagwan Swaminarayan and the Gunatit Satpurush. In addition, over 300 children participated in the Satsang Diksha playgroups.
