Time and Tide Wait for None |
Sumer vacation comes and goes. A lot of time I get bored. I wonder what to do alot of time. Then one day my mom told me why don't you read satsang books, write the swaminarayan mantra, watch satsang adio cd's, listen to bhajans, do gujarati,do bhajans on my keybord, go on the swaminarayan.org web site...... I thought about what my mom said. I thought about how much I use to just sit around and waste time. My mom says that "time never comes back so use it wisely." I thought reading satsang book would be so boring and a waste of time but slowly I started to read satsang book and you know what satsang books are realy interesting. I love them so much that I try to read them for atleast an hour a day.Now I mostly never get bored in the summer.I pass time and learn alot to. This is how I spend my vacation for my own benefit.

I AM VERY PROUD TO BE A BALAK OF BAPS BECAUSE WE HAVE GOT SUCH A GREAT GURU IN THE FORM OF GOD.BAPS IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE WE GET TO KNOW ABOUT THE MAIN AIM OF OUR LIFE THAT IS TOWARDS SATSANG,SATPURUSH AND THEN ULTIMATE SALVATION.WE GET TO KNOW HOW TO FULFILL THE AGNAS AND NIYAMS,WAYS TO DO SEVA AND HOW TO BEHAVE SO AS TO PLEASE GOD AND MAKE HIM HAPPY. I AM SO LUCKY TO BE PART OF THIS GREAT SANSTHA. BY GOING TO BALIKA SABHA I GET NEW FRIENDS,I GET TO PARTICIPATE IN ALL PROGRAMS AND COMPETITIONS IN ALL FESTIVALS,I GET TO KNOW HOW TO WORK HARD AND ACHIEVE SUCCESS,I GET TO PLAY MANY GAMES AND TO DO MANY CREATIVE ACTIVITIES AND THE MAIN THING IS I DEVELOP MY CONFIDENCE, PERSONALITY AND CHARACTER BY GETTING TO KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG IN MY LIFE.

A good way to spend your summer vacation is by learning our language gujrati and reading,vachanamrut,kirtans,swamini vatos etc.. Also we learn new things that help us for good. We can also help our parents doing chores. also we go in our neighborhood and inspire people to quit addictions and live a happy life. We can also play sports to become healthy. We can also do santsamagam every day. Last but not least we have to do ghar shabha.

Jaiswaminarayan, we can spend our vacation in a best way by reading some satsang books which gives us knowledge about our culture,our religion,short life history of Maharaj-Swami and our Guruparampara ( this way we can learn that how they all grew up ,how they studied in difficulties,how they took out time to pray to God,how they passed their free time and how they dedicated their life in the service of God ).Also by learning to sing new kirtans and play instruments if possible,by reading stories from story time,by visiting this site everyday,by attending all the activities held in our temple and also by attending balika sabha every saturday. We can also do some painting ,colouring or make some craft items from the things which are not needed at home like Birthday cards,frames,pen stands,decorative boxes etc.
Moreover,the best way to pass time is by remembering Bapa all the time whereever we go and whatever we do without any tension of exams and all.

Best way to spend your holidays is to do your holiday homework as well as play some time.Get up early in the morning,get ready,and do your daily pooja.Then,do your homework in the morning.In the morning you can sit on the internet,and read the stories,play games,etc. that is available on BAPS site for children.In the evening you can go to the park and play or play with your fiends.This is what I do.If you like this shedule,you too can follow it.Thak you!

You can help your parents,and you can do seva at mandir by helping the aunt's,you can also go to mandir and learn more about seva,and satsang like more about bapa and swami you can also learn more about prasangs and you can teell other people ,and spread satsang that will help bapa.You can also teach people not to eat meat like maybe your friends and maybe yous familys friends you can also take satsang classess that can help your mom and dad so your parents dont have to wast time on us.I love to do seva,but the first thing you should do is help your parents because your parents need more help.

Some ways that I can spend my Summer Vacation is by helping at the mandir. Like since now are Shikharbandh mandir is almost finished i can go to the site to help clean the small pieces of stone and others things. Another way that I can help that will benefit me and help other people is that I can help out in makeing the decortions for the stage and the nagar yatra floats for Mandir Mahotsav, so than it will get done fast and it will be done before Bapa gets here.

Now that the time of the year is summer, my daily routine does not decrease, instead it increases. I study more since I have no school. I wake up a little bit later but everyday i sit down and pray. I also do things such as work at the library or help my mom and grandparents around the house. Bhagwan Sawminaryan has given us summer so we can focus more the things that matter to us in life the most, God and Studies.

In my Summer Holidays I will do satsang and learn more about the difficulties the guru-parampara went through. I will also try and do something new which helps me in my studies or something that I have an interest in. I will help my parents and also do my niyams properly as it is the shatabdi year. Also you can do something that interests you- like music, painting etc
Have fun!

Hi dear balmitro,
We can spend our time while doing things like studies, learning musical instruments, going to mandir. We don't want to waste our time this summer, by playing video games, watching T.V., or playing on the computer too much. I hope we all learn how to spend our time wisely this summer!

JAI SWAMINARAYAN. Time is really precious for everyone in the world, if it is gone it wont come back.In my holidays i wanted to go to India but we only go to India after every 2 years.2 years back we went to India.In India we didn't waste our time by watching movies, going to parties etc but instead we went to all diffrent mandirs and stayed in each mandir for 2 days. We also went to Rajkot where we saw Bapa my brother and my father went for darshan. We also did various during our previous holidays. In Bal sabha we created an Assesment Sheet on what things we would do each week we already had our tests from the book "Bal Sabha". We hope to do many useful things in coming holidays.

We r young now and whatever things we do now we will do it later when we our older. So we should not waste our time by doing those things that r not good for us or that we shouldn’t do. Our guru pramukh swami has insisted that Time lost is lost for ever and so we should be wise and utilize time usefully. That does mean that we should not waste our time playing, eating and sleeping and all the other things. Instead we should be studying that bapa wants us to do, we should also do some working (seva), do bhakti and all,Of course.do something good or practice things u have to.Read satsang books etc. some of these things r relly good to do on holidays.

You can go to shibirs, volunteer, summer camp, musical instument lessons, swiming lessons.
If you go to shibirs you can learn more stuff about satsang, from volunteering you can sometimes help people that dont have homes or help clean the park or something to keep it clean,from summer camp you can learn how to survive if you get lost in the woods,from musical lessons you can learn how to play instruments,and from swiming lessons you can learn how to swim.

VACATION................................It's time for learning, it's time for fun, it's time for exploring, with the bright sun. It's time for practicing, it's time for an adventure, it's time for playing, it's time for the future. Develop your music, develop your skills, develop your talents, and our satsang drills. It's the chance to be on your way, to Akshardham: where maharaj stays.

In the summer vacation, I am spending my most valuable time wisely doing Daily morning and evening Aarti, daily morning puja. I'm doing daily Ghar-Sabha before go to bed. While staying home gives me more energy to be stable on my niyam like not eating outside.I've started learning tabla. I've already learnt tabla in Jay Aksharpati Purshotam and Hey Parmeshwar Mangaldata bhajans. Swami Bapa please give me bal and shakti to continue using my time usefully.Jay Swaminarayan
