The observances began on Friday, July 11, with an evening satsang. Didi Krishna Kumari, head of the Mission, shared Dada’s timeless message in two Sindhi words, “Sujaag Thyo” (“Awaken!”).

The following morning, on July 12, a prabhat pheri (dawn procession) was held at 5:30 a.m. A decorated float carrying a portrait of Dada Vaswani moved through the streets and housing societies of Pune Camp, covering a distance of about 3.5 kilometres. Along with the singers on the float, devotees sang bhajans and kirtan throughout.

The walk was followed by a special morning satsang. Deepak Chugani from Hong Kong, who took part in the walk for the first time, shared: “The bhajans and kirtan that were sung throughout the walk are forever etched in my heart — and it felt as though the city itself was being sanctified as Dada’s float moved through the streets of Pune. I’ve never experienced such bliss before.” 

“Ever since Dada passed into the Unseen, his presence feels even more near,” said Drishika, a young singer. “There’s more magic in the air—as though his grace has only intensified with time,” she added.

The day also featured a noon satsang filled with bhajans and kirtan, followed by an evening session that included the recorded teachings of the Masters. ‘Deepak Yatra’ was observed with lamps lit at the Samadhi. Devotees gathered again at night for a midnight satsang.

“Since Dada’s passing, I feel more connected to him — from the heart,” said Muskan, a young girl who knew Dada personally. “It’s on this day that my emotions rise, and I realise how deeply I love him.”

On Sunday, July 13, from 11:30 a.m., havan, bhajans, and kirtan were followed by a talk by Didi Krishna. She said that even today, Dada continues to amaze her. She also said that his life is a shining example of how action speaks louder than words. At 1:00 p.m., langar was served to all. Later, an evening satsang featured recorded teachings of Dada Vaswani.

Khushi, who often visits the Mission, said, “Dada is no longer in one place — he is everywhere. He can be found in every heart that longs for peace and forgives easily.”

Dada’s life itself was his message; he often served the poor with his own hands. To mark his anniversary, extensive seva was carried out by the Mission, venerating his teachings of selfless giving and service for the destitute. Concessional medical procedures were carried out across the Mission’s clinics and hospitals

Children from municipal schools were given kits filled with school essentials such as stationery, socks, and handkerchiefs. Needy families were given ration kits. Distribution of fruits was done in hospitals, and especially in government hospitals, poor patients received fruits and biscuits in reusable, eco-friendly, multipurpose bags, stitched by underprivileged women trained at the Mission’s own skill development centre. 

“This day has a special place in my heart; I’ll make it a point to return every year. The spiritual joy I experienced is rare,” expressed Ram Dudani from Delhi. 

International Sadhu Vaswani Centres also paid tribute to Dada’s memory through satsangs and seva.

Dada was a modern-day saint who transformed lives with love. Universally acclaimed as a humanitarian, philosopher, educationist, author, orator, and a messiah of ahimsa, Dada is known worldwide. He advocated for peace through forgiveness; his birthday, August 2nd, is observed as Global Forgiveness Day. 

Sadhu Vaswani Mission, under Didi Krishna’s guidance, continues to serve communities through free education, daily meals for the poor, medical care, disaster relief, and animal feeding across the globe.
