Across North America, Yuvaks and Yuvatis found the 2025 Adhiveshan and Summer Shibir to be a meaningful opportunity for personal spiritual growth. Held over four days between June and August, the experience centered around the theme “Satsang: The Journey to Rajipo,” encouraging participants to engage in memorizing selected verses from sacred texts (mukhpath) as a way to build conviction, gain clarity, and lead a purposeful life.
The purpose of the Adhiveshan was deeply rooted in earning the rajipo (blessings) of His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj. The Adhiveshan encouraged participants to move beyond recitation and internalize the teachings they were learning. By understanding the content of mukhpath and applying it to real-life decisions and challenges, participants discovered how this wisdom could strengthen their relationship with Bhagwan Swaminarayan and the Satpurush and help them navigate modern life with spiritual insight.
Structured into three components—Prathmik Mukhpath, Purna Mukhpath, and skills competitions—the Adhiveshan required all participants to begin with the Prathmik Mukhpath, which introduced elements commonly used in daily rituals and sabhas. The Purna Mukhpath explored modules rooted in satsang principles and included texts from the Swamini Vato, Vachanamrut, Purushottam Bolya Prite, Satsang Diksha, Yogi Gita, Yogi Vani, Harililamrut, Bhaktachintamani, as well as kirtans, sakhis, and prasangs.
Participants then had the opportunity to showcase their abilities through skills competitions. Individual categories included music production, article writing, hand-drawn art, digital illustration, graphic design, photography, videography, video reels, granth nirupan, short speeches, elevator talks, and solo singing. Group categories included group drama and group singing, emphasizing collaboration and creativity grounded in spiritual knowledge.
The Adhiveshan and Summer Shibir concluded with an inspiring call to deepen spiritual understanding, emphasizing shravan, manan, and nidhidhyas as essential steps toward realizing sakshatkar and earning the rajipo of the Satpurush.
