Mandal Report

Mukeshbhai is so reliable! There isn’t a week when he isn’t in Group 1 Sabha! He is always there! No matter the Seva - birthday calls, weekly Sampark calls, Vishaarad Classes - he is always on top of it! And he doesn’t require any follow up! Once you tell him, he has it down and gets it done so well for Maharaj and Bapa! For the Vishaarad classes, he has to first learn the material himself and then teach it to the balaks! It takes lots of time every week and there are 2 classes a week if I’m not mistaken! He also adjusts his schedule to fit the schedule of tie 3 Balaks in the class and he has taught them so well that the 3 Atlanta balaks are top 5 in the whole country in their exam scores! He is always so calm and happy as well! I’ve never seen him raise his voice or get angry! He stays calm and does exceptional seva and Bhakti of Maharaj and Bapa!

Aarshbhai - always smiling :) a lot of great things about Aarshbhai have been said but one thing I noticed when I got back to Atlanta last year is that he can ball! He is a great defender on the court and also has good offense! Aarshbhai has also been a very dedicated bal Karyakar for years - doing great Seva regionally and locally! Whether it be executing evening programs for shibirs or handling a weekly bal sabha - the passion for every Seva in Aarshbhai is great! He always wants to do the best whatever the Seva is! I’ve also never heard Aarshbhai say anything bad about anyone! He makes it a point to attend at least 2 if not, 3 aartis a day at mandir - shangar and sandhya and at times, mangala! His ahnik like this is also exceptional!

Shivambhai has a deep sense of mahima for both satsang and seva, he is consistently prioritizing his satsang and seva. Usually what we hear is when people go to different environments they might struggle with outside pressure, but with Shivambhai I’ve only seen him get stronger in Satsang. For his seva he approaches every responsibility with sincerity and dedication, always focused on making his sabha fun for balaks and organized. Even during weeks where he may be the only karyakar present, he never allows that to impact the quality of sabha and continues putting in full effort without complaint. One of Shivambhai’s strongest qualities is the balance he maintains between his fun, goofy personality and his personal discipline in satsang. While he is naturally able to connect with balaks and create an enjoyable atmosphere, he never compromises on his niyam dharma. No matter the circumstances, he remains firm in his principles and is very particular about maintaining them fully. Beyond managing sabha logistics, Shivambhai does an excellent job building genuine relationships with balaks and creating an environment where they feel comfortable and engaged. His consistency, positive attitude, and commitment to both seva and personal satsang make him someone others naturally look up to. Something from him we all can learn is balance, and how to connect with others!

While Dharmabhai is one of the youngest karyakars we have in Atlanta, he is still one that many of us can and should be looking up to. I haven't seen someone so young do so much seva at mandir before, even when it wasn't asked of him to - from helping support KST, doing samp camp/regional event seva, etc., he's always made time rather than finding an excuse not to be at mandir to do that seva - and I'm sure we've all seen the late, sleepless nights he has had before samaiyos and other major events while he's grinding out deco. Naturally, when one is so involved in seva, one expects something in return. But I have never heard Dharmabhai use his position or involvement as reason to brag to anyone or put anyone down. He has done his seva humbly and has put Maharaj and Swami in the forefront.

Maharshibhai Patel - always so humble and hard working! He does his Sabha Sanchalak seva really well as a Yuvak karyakar! Being a school teacher isn’t easy, as there is a lot of work you have to do once the school day is done! But on top of that, he does his Seva so well, while also handling other responsibilities! He has good Niyam Dharma and very good vartan as well - inspiring vartan! He is also amazing at following agna! Anything you tell him, he folds his hands and happily does! Truly a great Sevak of Bapa and our sanstha!
