After drenching seekers with incessant showers of grace in Toronto, the Master arrived at Washington, DC to fuel the devotion of seekers in the capital city. Prashant-Sheetal Kothari were Pujya Gurudevshri’s ecstatic hosts.

After imbuing hearts with joy in Washington, DC, Pujya Gurudevshri travelled to Shrimad Rajchandra Ashram, USA.

Throbbing hearts, dancing feet, and teary eyes welcomed Pujya Gurudevshri at the spiritual abode on American soil – Shrimad Rajchandra Ashram, USA.

Blessing mumukshus congregated at the Ashram, Pujya Gurudevshri delivered a profound Sadguru Udghosh. The weekend of September 20-21 featured an enlightening shibir on Shri Natak Samaysaar. The Master also lovingly spent informal moments with the devotees, filling their hearts with joy. This visit also witnessed the inauguration of the Master’s Kutir in the Ashram, where the embodiment of divinity will reside during His stay.

Across four spiritually vibrant days of September 22-25, mornings began with soulful recitation of Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra. There were insightful Swadhyaykar sessions by Atmarpits Nemiji, Maulikji, Smrutiji, and Vidhiji. Afternoons brought opportunities for holistic growth – yoga and cardio exercise sessions with the Master, along with special talks for both youth and adults by Manubhai Shah, an entrepreneur and philanthropist. Evenings were enriched by inspiring Sadguru Capsules from Pujya Gurudevshri and Neil Shah’s sessions on stress-free living.

The celebrations over the days were equally joyous – devotees rejoiced through raas garba and dandiya. These sacred days of the Master’s presence at the Ashram witnessed the Sound Healing Teacher’s Training Course and its graduation ceremony, where participants received their certificates from Pujya Gurudevshri, sessions on SRMD Holistic Wellness course and cricket matches as a part of the SRMD Cricket World Cup – Women’s edition. The Master also blessed seekers with a divine rendezvous where they got to spend precious moments informally interacting with Him. On the eve of Pujya Gurudevshri’s birth anniversary, Adarniya Rekhamaa and the family were reverentially felicitated for taking precious care of Him, the jewel of thousands of hearts, over all these years.

All this while, seekers across the globe were gathering to rejoice in the upcoming Festival of Bliss – the historic event commemorating the commencement of the Master’s 60th Birth Anniversary celebrations.

These words just pen the external activities during His dharmayatra, but what they are inadequate in conveying is how Pujya Gurudevshri inundated thousands of lives with love and propelled their devotion, leaving them with countless memories that will form the cornerstone of their spiritual journey.
