There was great hustle and bustle for seats. I am very thankful to Baba as one of my colleagues made our entry through the VIP gate. We got seats in the front row. The entire hall was full. The program started with light music and pin-drop silence was observed in the hall. Meditation with commentary continued for a few minutes First renowned Rajyoga Brother named Suraj Bhai gave meditation class. We all became soul conscious.

We all seemed as if we were in satyug heaven and were connected to supreme power pyara, meetha shiv baba. We felt we were free from all evils, we received baba’s love and blessings.

There was pin-drop silence in the hall. Bhog offering to Baba was done it seemed all souls were connected to only Baap dada. Due to ill health of Gulzar Dadi D- Live of Baba Milan is shown on screen. Our souls are directly connected to Shiv Baba we all felt real presence of Baba, Baba arrived showered Drishti to each and every soul. It seemed Baba blessed his all children present in the hall. Then Baba spoke OM SHANTI gave hearty wishes to all brahmin children for the new year 2020. Then Baba said to do something new to overcome weaknesses go deeper in you with Baba, develop hearty relations with Baba, and spoke to celebrate this Milan in a happy state of mind free from all queries and doubts.

The dose of happiness and wings of zeal and enthusiasm gave strength which makes us fly to success.

Then we all were excited to see Dadi JANKI on stage.

Dadi jee 104 years old came on wheel chariot, the whole hall was applauded with clapping sound to welcome Dadi. Dadi spoke with great strength Mera Baba Meetha Baba and wished HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone. It was marvelous as well as amazing to see activities of Dadi and above all Dadi jee speech was excellent and heart touching

Three functions BABA MILAN, HAPPY NEW YEAR, and above all DADI JANKI 104th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION made the stage decent. A huge cake cutting ceremony was held. Orchestra and music troop entertained a lot. Children were called on stage to dance, we too also could not control ourselves from dancing. The stream ended, Toli sweets packets were distributed to everyone Everyone was pleased and were sharing happiness all around. It seemed I had met god and we were all enjoying in heaven. New satyug had arrived.

Conclusion

In the last lines I would like to say

Never see evil, never speak evil, never think evil and never hear evil will provide Health, Wealth, and Happiness.

We all children have to follow the father and make all our near and dears to join Rajyoga Meditation. Heaven will come on earth Ravan Rajya will be eradicated and Satyug HEAVEN will come.
