Shastri Swami Shri Harikeshavdasji has been continuously active for molding character and virtues of young generation. He believes that even useless stone, lying on the path, can be turned into God, if it is carved or engraved. Very fine tune can be created by every musical instrument if one has mastery to play on it. Tasteful food can be made from every spice, if one is well versed in cooking. In the same way, virtue can be produced into a man, if one is skilful to create it.

That is why, honourable Guruji tends to produce Samskar and virtues in kids and youngsters, who have to cross tremendous waves, swimming safely. More, they will have to pass the lengthy way, full of ups and downs, happiness and misery, throne and stone. So the future generation extremely requires the advice and ‘Satsang’ (association with Saint). With such good motive, Swaminarayan Yuvak Mandal was established by the inspiration of Shastriji on 7th February 1991, at Swaminarayan Mandir, Sector-23, Gandhinagar. Yuvak-Sabha (Convocation) is held on every Thursday. In that convocation, youngsters gather, chanting and singing Bhajans without any kind of selflessness and temptation.

By the inspiration of Shastri Swami, very good activities are being done through Yuvak Mandal. What is important thing in our life? Of virtue and good bringing up. It is extremely necessary to protect life of youngsters against bad atmosphere of modern age luxury, entertainment and various addictions. Only those youngsters can save themselves against modern age-vices, who join the organization, which is run under the guidance and inspiration of Saints. As the plastic made flower does not have fragrance, the same way, the young does not have the smell of virtue without Satsang. One can develop such good qualities by attending such organization.

In such favorable atmosphere, youth can develop such good qualities i.e. non-addiction, boldness, intellectual power, and inner-abilities, including knowledge regarding ‘Satsang’ (Swaminarayan Sect). One can strengthen the life of ideal youth observing religion, code of conduct and good behavior. One becomes real devotee by settling good Samskar steady in life such as Kirtan, Pooja, scripture reading, to have Darshan, Sewa etc. Here youth learns even lesson of material-life including mutual-love and social services.
