Event Ashirwad Samaroh Central 2023-24
Being the first event of the calendar year, it was indeed a privilege to lead the event as Director. Most of you would be knowing by now, Ashirwad Samaroh is an occasion where a Spiritual Guru graces the event & extends ‘Ashirvachan’ to the upcoming Board of Directors.
It was a challenge to connect our President’s theme for the year ‘समन्वय’ & ‘सहभाग’ with this event. After a series of brainstorming discussions, the Ashirwad team came up with a unique idea of ‘हनुमानजी चालीसा पाठ’ as event theme. Who could have done this better than Sh. Kamleshji Maharaj, a Hanuman bhakt himself. So the stage was set, the auspicious day of Saturday, MPF PCMC was ready to witness the formal installation of new Board of 2023-24.
Everything seemed perfect right from the beautiful rangoli depicting the ‘Ram Setu’ at the entrance, the innovative idea of showcasing the ‘दोहा’ through paintings by our young children, the energetic ambience in the Auditorium, soothing music and the décor transformed the normal looking auditorium into a Spiritual and भक्तिमय environment.
The event began with the auspicious lighting of the lamp by dignitaries present along with the beautiful rendition of the Mahesh Vandana.
Our Immediate Past President – Prasanna Rathi took us through the journey during his tenure FY 2022-23, post which he handed over the baton in the able hands of the incoming President – Vikas Rathi.
We witnessed a grand floral welcome of Sh. Kamleshji Maharaj on Stage. In his August presence, Vikasji revealed his theme for the year & introduced the Board of Directors in his unique style. He spoke about a few hidden Achievements & Aspirations of each Director.
As he introduced, each director was blessed by Guruji & their parents.
The first part of the event i.e. formal installation of the BOD was concluded & it was now time for Guruji’s discourse.
Young kids dressed in traditional attire were invited by Guruji on the stage to join him in reciting the Hanuman Chalisa. It was a great experience watching these Future Leaders so connected with our culture.
Through his discourse, he motivated the New Board and all the Forum members to inculcate values of Co-ordination and Participation in each and every aspect of life. He also inspired the audience with his intellectual talks.

The entire auditorium was so deeply engrossed and enlightened by the aura created by different renditions of the Hanuman Chalisa Path, that they wished the program continued. However, as they say All good things come to an end.
Ashirwad Samaroh 2023 ended with a vote of thanks and a lot of memories to cherish & lot of enthusiasm for the upcoming year.
