The Shrimad Rajchandra Spiritual Center USA (SRSC USA) hosted the “Festival of Bliss,” a three-day celebration marking the commencement of 60th birth anniversary of its founder, Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, from September 26–28, 2025, at its East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, center, a sanctuary dedicated to “spiritual growth, wellness, and service.
The event opened with “heartfelt birthday wishes” to Pujya Gurudevshri, followed by a “soulful musical dedication” by devotees, according to SRSC USA.
Addressing a large gathering, Pujya Gurudevshri spoke about the deeper meaning of life and awareness. He explained the distinction between human birth and human life, stating that “if we transform human birth into a Festival of Bliss, then it will be said that human life has truly been lived.”
He added that awakening true discrimination between “worthless and worthwhile living” enables a seeker to remain detached even amid worldly entanglements.
Throughout the festival, Pujya Gurudevshri guided seekers on a journey of devotion and self-realization, encouraging them to dissolve delusion and embrace awareness. The gathering drew devotees and followers from around the world, blending spiritual reflection with humanitarian service.
