The Balpravrutti Suvarna Mahotsav (1954-2004) celebrated in February in Akshardham, Gandhinagar, is currently being celebrated abroad. In April 2004, the Nairobi Bal Mandal held a “National Bal-Balika Adhivesion”. With its theme of “Thaiye Yogi Jewa”, 150 bal-balikas from 14 mandals in Eldoret, Kakamega, Kisumu, Kericho, Nakuru, Mombasa and Nairobi, gathered in Nairobi.

The adhivesion was divided in two parts : (1) Mukhpath of Vachanamrut, Swamini Vato and shlok-sakhis. (2) Personality development - painting and drawing, singing kirtans, story telling and playing musical instruments. Despite difficulties in reading and writing Gujarati, the efforts of the sadhus and sanchalaks made the competition a great success.
