A shibir for volunteers of Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad (Suhrad Pradesh), always ready to execute all the social service activities by Yogi Divine Society, was organized for 2 days on 25th & 26th June 2017 at Dantee in which, around 216 volunteers from the pradesh were trained as to how to act during different circumstances while carrying out various projects of social services.

In the beginning, P. Brahmavihariswami had presented abroad outline of and the activities to be done during the shibir.

Through a video presentation on “MASTER’S VOICE”, all the volunteers had got acquainted with as to what sort of quality the president of Yogi Divine Society P.P. Hariprasadswamiji expects from them for various social service activities and, what is His concept behind them.

Then, in his special style, the youth volunteer Sri Milindbhai Patel guided as to how, the life of a volunteer should be.

Then, a session on “LIVE COUNCELLING” managed by Sri Prishitbhai was kept during which, the solutions to circumstances experienced and the questions coming up before the volunteers were provided to them through bilateral discussions by P. Guruprasadswami and Sri Prishitbhai. In the end of this session, while explaining the theme of the shibir, “Tun Raji Tha”, it was explained that, since, the motto of our institution is “Service to mankind is the service to God only” and, when we all have gathered here to please God through various services based on this motto, there must be purity in our thoughts, discretion in our words/speech/talks and Atmiyata in our actions.

After this session, all the participants in the shibir took lunch and a little rest.

In the 2nd session at 4.00 pm, the youth volunteer Sri Pinakinbhai, giving several related examples said that, more attendance to and more use of centers of entertainments like theatres, malls and pubs etc. is considered as a progress by some people in the society while, they actually bring down the standards of our real culture and, the youth culture centers run by the institution develop right and good culture in the youths and show them the real path of life and teach them the lessons of devotion towards family, society and the nation which is required most today.

Then, through a power point presentation, P. Brahmavihariswami had guided all the participants as to how a volunteer of Yogi Divine Society should be. In the next program, through the real/practical examples of life, giving the example of a single stick and a bunch of sticks, “UNITED WE WIN”, Sri Chiragbhai Sheladiya had advised all to develop real mutual unity.

After dinner, explaining as to under what circumstances, wood and iron, both can drown each other, Sri Bhavikbhai Patel had distinguished between good and bad company and had advised all to always keep a good company only.

Then, with an activity named “FINDING THE VIRTUE”, played, P. Brahmavihariswami had divided all the zone-wise participants in groups of 2 each in 5 groups of each zone and had asked them to write the qualities/virtues of their partner volunteers in which, they had noted 5 to 21 qualities of their partners. After this, P. Brahmavihariswami explained that, we all generally possess dislike for someone in our family, school or at the place of our work but, as noticed here, everyone possesses at least 2 to 5 good qualities so, we, ourselves have to develop a virtue finding attitude/sight.

Then, making 10 groups of all, they all were given 12 minutes to do think and meditate on the different topics given to them all and after this, one member from every group had to speak on the topic given to his group.

Thus, with different activities, the 1st day was over.

At 9.30 am in the morning on the last day of the shibir on 26th Feb 17, Sri Sanjogbhai had talked on “Why the company of good friends is necessary?”. Then, explaining the subject “NO MOVIES” through an audio video presentation, Sri Yashbhai Kotak had said that, while watching a movie, we might be thinking that, we are simply passing 3 to 4 hours but, actually, the pictures, scenes and the songs etc. presented in them, spoil, distract and disturb our thoughts and concentration.

Then, in the end, under an activity “AREA OF IMPROVEMENT”, P. Brahmavihariswami had asked every participant to write his weaknesses on a piece of paper after doing self-introspection followed by giving them all, the guidance to overcome those weaknesses by boosting them to achieve progress in their life.

Having taken meals after this session, all had proceeded to their destinations.
