In childhood, guruhari Pramukh Swami Maharaj used to ride a Hercules bicycle to commute from Chansad to Padra. Thus, in the memory of this and to inspire all towards a healthy lifestyle, as part of Brahmaswarup Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s centenary celebrations, the ‘PSM100 Cycle Challenge ­– Ride for Rajipo’, was organized at 24 BAPS centers in Australia and New Zealand throughout May 2022.

Despite the rain, wind, and very cold weather in some centers, a total of more than 900 children, teenagers, youths and adults participated and cycled over 10,000 km along the routes set at their centers.

As a part of Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s Centenary Celebrations, Guruhari Darshan Video Parayans were held at BAPS centers across Australia and New Zealand. The parayans featured selected videos depicting the glorious life of Brahmaswarup Pramukh Swami Maharaj.

These Guruhari Darshan Parayans were conducted at the weekly area assemblies, during which four videos were shown. After the screening of each video, devotees took part in activities, like quizzes, group discussions and question-answer sessions. These activities kept everyone engaged and focused. When the video of guruhari Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s last rites was shown, all the devotees became very emotional.

A total of 812 (464 male and 348 female) karyakars attended the ‘Ek Nishan – Pramukh Shatabdi Mahotsav’ shibirs organized at Sydney (19 March), Melbourne (18 April), Perth (30 April), Brisbane (7 May), Adelaide (14 May) and Auckland (27 May).
These one-day shibirs guided the karyakars on how to carry out the 100-day Parivarik Shanti Abhiyan to spread the glory and messages of Brahmaswarup Pramukh Swami Maharaj during this Shatabdi year.

The karyakars were guided through speeches, inspirational videos, interactive activities, workshops, and the video blessings of sadguru swamis and guruhari Mahant Swami Maharaj.

Karyakars at some remote centers who could not attend in person, participated via the live webcast.

More than 3,500 participants join in the Shatabdi Ghar Sabha motivation assemblies at 13 centers across Australia and New Zealand. Brahmaswarup Pramukh Swami Maharaj promoted a regular ghar sabha as the means to ensuring family happiness and harmony.
The Ghar Sabha motivation assemblies were conducted at the weekly local satsang assembly. The attending families were inspired through inspirational videos, group and panel discussions, and speeches. Many pledged to conduct a ghar sabha with their family on a regular basis.

Under the auspices of Brahmaswarup Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s Centenary Celebrations, more than 1,950 devotees participated in the Shatabdi Padyatras organized at 14 BAPS centers across Australia and New Zealand. One padyatra involved walking 8 to 10 km along a designated route. Even the extreme weather at some centers did not stop the devotees from taking part.

While walking, the participating devotees at each center discussed inspiring incidents from the lives of Brahmaswarup Shastriji Maharaj, Brahmaswarup Pramukh Swami Maharaj and Pragat Brahmaswarup Mahant Swami Maharaj. This made the walks especially enjoyable and devotional.

At the destination, participants offered prayers, and performed pradakshinas and malas in front of a specially erected Pramukh Mandir.

Over 900 devotees have pledged to do between 2 to 30 such padyatras before the start of the centenary celebrations in December 2022.
