More than 1,400 children and teenagers from the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) recited verses from Satsang Diksha and Siddhant Karika in Sanskrit in the Australian city recently.
The large gathering of children and teenagers memorised and recited 315 verses from Satsang Diksha and 565 verses from Siddhant Karika, drawing widespread appreciation for their dedication to Sanskrit.
Notably, the BAPS Sanstha has always promoted the study of Sanskrit and its importance. With the blessings of Mahant Swami Maharaj and the guidance of BAPS, Sanskrit is reaching new heights globally.
Mahant Swami Maharaj has consistently highlighted the greatness of Sanskrit. Under his guidance, the study of Sanskrit has become essential for BAPS saints and youth.
BAPS is not only known for its temples and saints but also as a global spiritual institution committed to preserving and promoting Sanskrit, culture, and scriptures. It believes and seeks to propagate the idea that Sanskrit is not just a language but a means for spiritual elevation and mental growth.
Memorising Sanskrit verses has had a remarkable impact on children’s intellect and personality, as parents shared how studying Sanskrit has benefited their cognitive abilities.
“The children have become more intelligent and focused in their studies, with significant improvement in memory and concentration,” the parents said.
Notably, BAPS has played a pivotal role in preserving and promoting Sanatan values and Hindu traditions in Australia, fostering a spirit of unity, spirituality, and selfless service.
With 13 BAPS temples across Australian cities—including Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra, Griffith, Hobart, Melbourne, Melbourne South, Newcastle, Perth, Sunshine Coast, and Sydney—the religious organisation serves as a beacon of faith and cultural preservation.
BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha is a spiritual, volunteer-driven fellowship dedicated to improving society through individual growth by fostering the Hindu values of faith, service, and global harmony.
