The "Divine Youth Forum" program on the theme "Definition of Spiritual Maturity" was organized by the Youth Wing (RERF) of Prajapita Brahmakumari Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya, was inaugurated today at Gyanasarovar Academy in a spiritually inspiring atmosphere. More than 400 young brothers and sisters from across the country participated in this four-day event.
The program commenced with a three-minute collective Rajyoga Meditation, followed by the lighting of a lamp and an inspiring song performed by the Madhurwani Group. Guests were then welcomed with bouquets by BK Ranibehen and BK Meetubehen. In the welcome address, BK Aatmaprakash Bhai, Vice Chairperson of the Youth Wing, highlighted the significance of spiritual maturity in the lives of young people and extended a warm welcome to all.
Youth Wing Chairperson Rajyogini BK Chandrika Didi delivered an inspiring address, stating that today's youth greatly need a positive direction, self-confidence, and spiritual values. She urged young people to embrace self-reflection, meditation, and noble virtues in their lives. She further said that spiritual maturity empowers a person to distinguish between truth and falsehood, strengthening self-confidence and morale, and enabling one to move forward in life with a positive outlook. When we view others' talents with respect and inspiration, personality develops — but the moment competition and comparison take hold, a person begins to fall from their true nature and higher self. Didi emphasized the importance of cultivating love, humility, patience, sweetness, and a smile in one's life, saying that our vision should carry love and our words should carry gentleness — these qualities strengthen relationships and create a positive atmosphere in society. She reminded participants that every individual is unique, and therefore it is essential to recognize one's own strengths and remain ever aware and positive. Positive thinking and elevated intentions alone make life successful and balanced. She added that one's thoughts should be balanced according to circumstances and time, and that one should never act in a way that causes pain to others — rather, every action should serve as an inspiration for the welfare of others and society.
Chief Guest Tamil film actor and social activist *Vijay Vishwa* inspired the youth to lead a values-driven and culturally enriched life. He said that spirituality is a vital medium for bringing balance, peace, and success to one's life. He shared that visiting this place filled him with immense joy and positive energy. The smiling faces of those present, their simple white attire, and their warm, heartfelt behavior created a uniquely spiritual atmosphere. In his address, Vijay Vishwa noted that in the film world, artists portray positive roles in front of the camera, whereas here, people are living truly inspiring lives by genuinely adopting noble values and ideals — without any self-interest. He called this a "hero's life" in the truest sense. He shared that it was here, for the first time, that he experienced the profound meaning of the words "Om Shanti." He praised the institution for rising above caste, religion, and language to spread the message of universal brotherhood, solidarity, and unity — a true source of inspiration for society.
Rajyogini *BK Prabha Didi* blessed all participants and inspired the youth to live life in accordance with spiritual values. She said that youth is always full of energy, enthusiasm, and potential — and if young people incorporate spirituality into their lives, their personalities become far more impactful and meaningful. She illustrated this with an example: just as the value of gold increases when set with a precious gemstone, young people enriched with spiritual qualities earn special recognition and respect in society. She observed that people today are less interested in merely hearing words and place far greater value on the visible, positive transformation in a person's life — and therefore, it is essential to first make one's own life noble and exemplary. She further stated that world transformation is possible only through self-transformation. Until a person develops noble virtues, divine qualities, and positive thinking within themselves, they cannot truly inspire others. She called upon the youth to adorn their lives with virtues, good values, and spiritual principles, so that they may play a positive role in building society and the nation.
A skit presented by BK Geetabehen and her group from Bhinmal moved the audience deeply.
Youth Wing National Coordinator *BK Kruti Didi* outlined the purpose of the forum and provided details of upcoming sessions, explaining that it has been organized to develop spiritual awareness, leadership qualities, and positive thinking among youth.
A cultural dance performance by Kumari Tejaswini added great enthusiasm to the event.
The program was skillfully anchored by *BK Jeetu Bhai*.
The event concluded with the presentation of a memento to the chief guest, and all participants were gifted a divine token of remembrance.
