Bal-Balika Din was organized by the Southwest Satsang Mandal to give balaks and balikas the chance to show their love and affection for their Guruhari Pramukh Swami Maharaj. All throughout the day, Swamishri met and interacted with all the balaks, and gave them memories they will cherish forever.

The evening cultural program began with a kirtan aradhana put on by the balaks, who displayed their vocal and instrumental talents. After Swamishri's arrival, they acted out various incidents throughout Swamishri's life that serve as examples for them to follow.

They also presented a drama about a poor shopkeeper who was unable to reap the benefits of a stone that had the capability to change metal to gold (parasmani), simply because he failed to recognize its importance. The balaks then described how they have recognized parasmani in the form of Swamishri, who transforms their lives into gold by inspiring them to lead moral lives.

In his blessings to the assembly, Swamishri praised the efforts of the children. He also explained to all parents, "everyone in the world puts great emphasis on educating their children, but in addition to this, if values are instilled in them then they will do great things, and will be able to serve society."
