At one stage, History had witnessed an unparalleled journey of a young
boy named Nilkanth, with 7 years covering 14 000 kilometers, barefoot.
This journey was matchless because of its unique nature – it
was a journey of liberating innumerable souls.
With this perspective
in mind, on the 11th of September 2005, BAPS Bal Mandal Sydney presented
a Bal Parayan with a theme of “Nilkanth Kalyaan Yatra”.
This occasion was special this year for Sydney Satsang Mandal as 40
enthusiastic balaks were involved in portraying a unique message.
The Balaks were able
to kindle countless hearts by presenting a delightful program from
start to finish. The program commenced with the traditional Dhoon
and Prarthana and ended with a beautifully choreographed dance welcoming
Nilkanth Varni. Parayan, Skits, video presentations and a Shishu Quiz
also played an important role in sending the message across of “Nilkanth
Kalyaan Yatra”.
The theme was supported
by remarkable decorations. One side of the hall featured a beautiful
Murti of Shri Nilkanth Varni with an amazing back drop of mountains.
On the other side of the hall, hundreds of devotees saw a series of
footprints tracking them through the images of major destinations
that Nilknath Varni had sanctified throughout his matchless pilgrimage.
Through the inspiration
of Pramukh Swami Maharaj all 40 Balaks, were able to send a powerful
message of Nilkanth Varni - his journey of liberation, and his journey
into the hearts of over 350 people that attended this unique event.
