Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s 118th Janma Jayanti
Friday November 7, 2025
This year, the 118th birth anniversary of Revered Gnani Purush, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, was celebrated from Nov 3rd upto Nov 9th in Morbi, Gujarat.
On Nov. 3, thousands of followers from across the world got gathered at the Ravapar Ghunda Road, Opp. Water Tank, Morbi, to celebrate our revered Dadashri’s 118th grand Janmajayanti with great warmth and cheer in the presence of our beloved Pujyashree!!!
The mega-event commenced with a warm welcome of Pujyashree on the event ground. Pujyashree was seated in an open car, blessing each one in the crowd that had lined up on the route for His darshan. Thereafter, Pujyashree’s satsang was held, where people got resolution to their niggling problems and the queries one had for progressing on the spiritual path.
In the evening, Pujyashree lit the lamp, and with His opening remarks, inaugurated the ‘Jova Jevi Duniya’, which is spread over a sprawling 300 bigha land, and would remain open to the public between Nov 3 – Nov 9, 2025, from 4.30pm – 11.30pm. This included a very unique and most-happening Children’s park so that good values can be nurtured in children, a busy Theme park oozing positivity and imparting right knowledge to elders, and a big Satsang Hall so that people make best spiritual progress in the shelter of Pratyaksh Gnani!
The Children’s park features:
- a wonderful puppet show, ‘Tara rum pum pum’,
- ‘Hanuman and Kaalnemi’ using the latest technology of holography,
- Super hero and Amphitheatre where kids can participate in competitions,
- Fun n Learn,
- the ‘Rings of Positivity’ lucky draw, etc.
And in the Theme park, we got to enjoy:
- a short film ‘Siren’,
- a multimedia show ‘Main kaun hoon’,
- Ehsaas; and
- above all, the live drama, ‘Vikram aur Betaal’ just stealing the show!!
In free time, children can play different games or click some selfies at the locations they like; and elders may visit the book-stall where they can fetch some real gems (books) that includes books in different Indian languages too.
Pujyashree then released the sixth volume of the book, ‘Gnani Purush’, which is a biography of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. The Part 6 features the 4-years period, starting from the point when Dadashri attained Gnan and upto the time when He started giving Gnan to others. For Dada Bhagwan, Gnan was a but-natural manifestation that happened effortlessly, while He was sitting on a bench of the Surat station platform, waiting for His train to arrive. After Gnan, He pondered, “the happiness that I have experienced, how do I help the other people in the world experience the same?” Four years later, His prayers were answered, when the Lords blessed Him with the divine power, so that He could carry out the work of the salvation of the world.
After the opening of the book, people, along with Pujyashree Deepakbhai, performed the Aarti with great devotion. And soon after, it was time for a short play, named, “The treasure box!” The script of the play, the screenplay and the acting were all very simple and fabulous! This crisp, easy-to absorb and quick-to-digest play beautifully demonstrated how with wrong understanding, one becomes unhappy and with the right understanding, one becomes happy; how seeing others’ possessions, we foolishly invoke material desires and make our own life miserable! Following the play, came a highly energetic and graceful dance performance by the little GNC kids, “Aaj Dada Jayanti no utsav killol” that pleased the audience to the brim.
Next day, on Nov 4, the prime day of Param Pujya Dadashri’s birthday (as per the Hindu calendar), the celebrations started early in the morning! Followers in good numbers performed the Pujan of Swami, Dada and Niruma and assembled in the Satsang Hall. As Pujyashre Deepakbhai came in, the program commenced with the Namaskar Vidhi. Then Pujyashree, in his Janmajayanti special message to the followers, reiterated that we remain aware of the garvaras (sweet juice of pride), the kartapanu (doer-ship) that arises within, and following the principles of Dadashri, we be free from it. Thereafter, he blessed every follower for their best progress on the path of spirituality!!
Later, Pujyashree called out the Samayik of diverting all of our ego for the purpose of the salvation of the world to help purify it completely. After that, along with Pujyashree, all the followers did the Pujan of the idols of Gods present on the stage, and then, the Aarti was performed by Pujyashree Deepakbhai and along with him was our Honourable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel. The Honourable Chief Minister garlanded Pujyashree Deepakbhai and took his blessings. Pujyashree Deepakbhai, on this occasion, gifted him the new book, Gnani Purush - Part 6.
Next, Pujyashree announced the Param Pujya Dadashri’s next Janmajayanti venue. It’s Charottar (includes districts of Kheda, Anand and the neighbouring areas), where Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan spent his childhood, and Vaso, a village in Charottar, is where Pujya Niruma belongs to. So, one more grand celebration of our Param Pujya Dadashri is on its way in Charottar, and you are most cordially invited for the same!!
After that, all the followers got ready for the Darshan programme, the moment that everyone was desperately waiting for. In the evening, the well-famous singer Shri Osmanbhai Mir, alongwith his son, Aamirbhai Mir, and his team of musicians took the stage and conducted live Bhakti.
Nov 5 commenced with a beautiful Satsang with Pujyashree and ended with an awesome Gnanvidhi!!! 4000+ new seekers attended Gnan-vidhi and attained the experiential knowledge of the Self (who really am I?).
