The Shrimad Rajchandra Spiritual Center USA hosted a three-day 'Festival of Bliss' from Sept. 26 to 28 to celebrate the 60th birth anniversary of its founder, Gurudevshri Rakeshji.
The event drew attendees from across the globe for a blend of devotion, music, and service. In his address, Gurudevshri spoke about transforming human birth into a 'Festival of Bliss' through awareness, detachment, and compassion.
The festival featured musical tributes, spiritual discourses, and an 'Atmarpit Diksha' ceremony, where three devotees dedicated their lives to service. A large-scale humanitarian initiative saw volunteers hand-pack more than 100,000 meals for communities worldwide facing hunger and malnutrition.
