Hundreds of devotees from the Gyan Sampradaya gathered at the Royal Albert Palace in New Jersey for the grand Guru Mahima Parayan in the divine presence of Jagatguru Shri Avichaldevacharya Maharaj and Dr. Sadhvi Shri Gitadidi. The event, organized by the Kaival Group of Central New Jersey, was a momentous occasion as it coincided with the Amrut Janmotsav (75th birthday celebration) of Jagatguruji.

The Parayan featured several spiritual activities, including the Paramguru Paduka Pujan, discourses by Jagatguruji, and a Guru Mahima Satsang led by Sadhvi Shri Gitadidi. Devotees also engaged in the Divya Paramguru’s Upasana, focusing on deep spiritual connection. Both Jagatguruji’s discourse and Gita Didi’s katha highlighted the vital role of the Guru in guiding spiritual life, emphasizing the revered Guru-Shishya tradition established by Paramguru Shrimat Karunasagar Maharaj, the founder of the Gyan Sampradaya.

One of the key themes of the event was the importance of a Guru in helping devotees navigate their spiritual journey. Jagatguruji’s wisdom touched the hearts of many as he spoke about the principles of self-realization and the path to spiritual growth. Sadhvi Gitadidi further elaborated on the Guru Mahima, explaining how the Guru imparts spiritual knowledge, which helps devotees align themselves with dharma and fulfill their purpose in life.

Young adults and children were actively involved in various activities throughout the event, helping them connect with their cultural roots while enjoying the festivities. The event offered an opportunity for the youth to engage with their faith, reinforcing the importance of tradition and spirituality.

The celebration continued on Sunday, September 22nd, with a Shobhayatra (procession) to honor Jagatguruji’s birthday. Devotees sang and danced to devotional kirtans, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Youth members performed kirtans and shared personal stories, reflecting on how Jagatguruji’s spiritual presence has guided them on their path. Many devotees spoke about their transformative experiences under Jagatguruji’s guidance, mentioning how his divine aura and teachings had drawn them closer to their faith and inspired them to live a life of devotion.

Jagatguruji’s contributions to the Gyan Sampradaya were also highlighted, including the establishment of the Kaival Gyan Mandir in Chicago and the organization of annual youth shibirs in the USA, where young devotees can deepen their spiritual practice. His holistic approach to spiritual life includes promoting physical, mental, and environmental well-being, urging devotees to live a balanced and conscious life.

The Guru Mahima Parayan event provided devotees of all ages an opportunity to recharge their spiritual energy, reconnect with their faith, and celebrate the profound wisdom of the Guru-Shishya tradition.
