More than 2,000 people gathered at Logan Campbell Centre on Saturday, February 18, for Antarkhoj, a stage show organised with an aim to bring the young generation closer to its roots.
Organised by BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, the show was a combination of acting, dance, and music. The play was focused on showcasing the fundamental principles of basic family values and encouraging the modern Indian society to stick to its roots, culture, and values to generate a harmonious society.
The chief guests for the event were Sadguru P.P. Tyagvallabh Swami and Sant Mandal, who are visiting from India. The programme was arranged and executed by more than 100 BAPS volunteers, who were not only a part of the stage act but who also took the responsibility of photography, light and sound and more.
Volunteer Manoj Daiya said the two-hour-long act was prepared in a short time of one month.
“Everything was arranged and organised by our team in New Zealand, Australia, and India—from scripting to the final execution. And all that in only one month,” he said.
The event was well produced and well received by the attendees. It concluded with prasad and complimentary dinner for all.
Meanwhile, the Indian community will soon have another BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir. Sadguru P.P. Tyagvallabh Swami and Sant Mandal will be in Hamilton on Sunday, February 26, for shilanyasvidhi (brick-laying ceremony) of the land where the newest Swaminarayan Temple will be built. Members of the community can attend the ceremony that will be held at 10 Tawn Place, Pukete, Hamilton from 4 to 7 p.m.
