Spending time in this temple every Saturday is now routine for me. It felt like we travelled to India and experienced its culture through satsang sabha(Weekly Assembly).
Weekly assemblies were begun in BAPS Swaminarayan Mandirs by Yogiji Maharaj(4th spiritual successor of BAPS), reinforcing the tradition of regular discourses and kirtans as begun by Bhagwan Swaminarayan.
An assembly, commonly called 'satsang sabha,' begins with a prayer followed by kirtans. Spiritual discourses by sadhus and learned devotees are based on the Vachanamrut, Swami Ni Vato, or other scriptures. Youth and kids often present religious and philosophical concepts by enacting dramas. There is also separate assembly for kids at the same time. In addition, they are providing dinner(mahaprasad) just like home for people at every Sunday after Sabha.
