I think that B.A.P.S. has done a great job and built a lot of mandirs
in 100 years. B.A.P.S. has really stuck up for Maharaj. So i hope that we
still keep on building more and more mandirs in order to please Maharaj

To celebrate the centenary year as per the wishes of swamibapa we
should spread the true knowledge of our sanstha,what is baps?what is the
motive of baps? what type of social,spritual and educational work our
sanstha is doing,to whoever we come in contact with,our friends,relatives
etc To become good balaks and balikas, we should go regularly to balika
sabha, we should fulfill all the agnas and niyams of swamibapa, also along
with satsang activities,we should work hard in our studies, and achieve
our goals in life.we should not eat outside in hotels.we should not watch
tv serials because they are waste of time and disturb our minds. Atlast to
show dedication to our sanstha we should make at least make 1 friend a
satsangi.

In April 2006 in Sarangpur, Swamishri was asked how he would want the
centenary celebrations to be celebrated. In his reply Swamishri said the
following - 'Agna, upasana, sadbhav ane paksh a char haribhakto ma dradh
thay, niyam dharma ma dradh thay, ane seva ma dradh thay...' I will
celebrate the year by taking up some of the yogyagna niyams and also by
making sure that I try to imbibe all the things Swamishri mentioned in his
ahirwaad above.

I am proud to be a devotee of BAPS because of all the great and hard
work that our gurus have done for us, and for all that they have suffered
for us. Shastriji Maharaj started this sanstha off with no money and a
handful of haribhaktas and saints. Look at how much progress our sanstha
has made compared to other sansthas in the last 100 years. It is because
of our love for Swamibapa, our spirit of volunteerism, our utmost faith in
following our niyams and our samp in the sanstha that has gotten us this
far so fast. For that, I am very proud to be a devotee of BAPS.

It is so amazing to see how our sanstha has grown and progressed for
the past 100 years. Shastriji Maharaj sacrificed so much to spread the
Akshar purshottam upasana. he went through many hardships and overcame all
of them. Here in LA we are building a shikarbhand mandir and because of
Shastriji Maharaj's great work i am determined to make this mandir
possible. i want to do all that i can to earn Bapa's rajipo. i want to
become the best kishori and the best karyakar. i also want to progress in
satsang and become stronger in my faith and understanding. i want to make
sure that everyone knows of Bapa's good deeds and may the name of Maharaj
and Swami be heard throught the world!!! Jai Swaminarayan

I will celebrate this BAPS centenary by pleasing Bapa. One way I will
do that is that I take an extra niyam for the whole year. Another way I
will please Bapa is to do seva in FULL FORCE!!! That, I think, will please
Bapa and then I can gain his 'raajipo' by pleasing him in the 2 ways shown
above. Jai Swaminarayan. BAPS SHATABDI MAHOTSAV NI JAY!!!
