The Dada Bhagwan Pariwar of Greater Chicago hosted a two-day spiritual seminar centered on Self Realization, featuring Satsang and Gnanvidhi sessions led by Pujya Deepakbhai Desai, the spiritual head of the Dada Bhagwan Foundation. Held at YDS Chicago in Schaumburg on June 26 and 27, 2025, the event welcomed over 500 participants each day from across Chicagoland and beyond.

During the sessions, attendees engaged deeply with topics like inner peace, overcoming negative thoughts, and attaining lasting happiness through self-knowledge (Atma-Gnan). The highlight of the event was the Gnanvidhi ceremony, which aims to help seekers break free from the false belief that they are merely the body or mind, and instead realize their true nature as pure souls — a foundational step toward liberation.
