Yogi Jayanti and a shibir was celebrated on the long weekend from Saturday 23^rd May to Monday 25^th May in Allentown in the Divine Presence of Pujya Ashvinbhai and Pujya Harshadbhai.

On Saturday, Pujya Chintan, Pujya Gitaben, Pujya Mananbhai and Pujya Dharmendbhai sang bhajans glorifying Gurudev Param Pujya Yogiji Mahãrãj's life.

The theme of this weekend's shibir was Sambandh Yog. Pujya Harshadbhai thus explained the bhajan "Dhanya Jene Malyo Yogiji No Sang". Pujya Harshadbhai enlightened the attendee Haribhaktos, of Gurudev Param Pujya Yogi Bapa's saintly qualities in the context of this theme. Gurudev Param Pujya Yogiji Mahãrãj explained the greatness of Sambandh Yog through his actions. He took a place in the heart of any devotee he came in contact with and there was strength in Yogi Bapa's blessing. When Pujya Harshadbhai first received a dhabbo from Gurudev Param Pujya Yogiji Maharah, he felt great peace in his heart.

He was a strict believer of niyam dharma, for himself and the youth. However he was compassionate with the youth as well. At the end of a hard day of seva when a fast was observed, Gurudev Param Pujya Yogi Bapa would make Khichdi (hotchpotch) himself and feed the youth. By keeping the youth close he mentored their souls to spiritual progress.

Pujya Harshadbhai sang the bhajan “Vandan Varamvaar Yogjiji Ne”. Motapurush see only the divinity in the devotee, they do not see the good or the bad qualities of the jiva. Gurudev Param Pujya Yogi Bapa was a brahmaswroop in the strictest sense and so just thinking about him or remembering his murti gave bliss. Gurudev Param Pujya Yogi Bapa would resolve seemingly great issues of sadhus and devotees with simple and succinct guidance. He was an ocean of kindness. He would never look at the faults or limitations of the devotee but only shower love. He would never rest until the soul who is in his care has attained enlightenment.

Gurudev Param Pujya Yogi Bapa was divine and it is difficult to understand Him with our earthly eyes. Guruvarya Param Pujya Saheb has understood Him and is living with His divine spiritual energy. So we pray to him to help us recognize the same.

Pujya Jayendrabhai  (Vratdhãri Sãdhak, AMUK)  spoke of the similarities between Yogi Bapa and Guruvarya Param Pujya Saheb that are so readily seen. He stressed how fortunate we are in finding the same spiritual energy that flowed through Param Pujya Shastriji Mahãrãj, Gurudev Param Pujya Yogiji Mahãrãj is now flowing through Guruvarya Parm Pujya Sahebdada today. He prayed that the dasatva bhav that flows gives us strength.

Pujya Kaushikbhai spoke of Gurudev Param Pujya Yogiji Mahãrãj as the visionary. He changed the game by making the youth his heart. Without him we would not be gathering here today and we would not be participating in satsang. He explained the concept of sambandh yog. Since all devotees are children of God, because of God's greatness and their relationship with Him, we should not talk idly of any of them.

Pujya Vishnubhai, Pujya Virendrabhai and Pujya Rameshbhai also gave mahatya darshan.
