AWAKENING - A PATH TO BHAAV SADUTHA
Pranam,
For the first time in JSGD history, we have created a movie, "Awakening - A Path to Bhaav Sadhuta", made by our members (in collaboration with Atmaruchi Foundation). The plot of the movie is inspired by events in Rishibhai’s life, complete with music and dances, blending entertainment and dharmik concepts. The condensed version (58 minutes) of this movie was premiered on March 15, 2025 during the bahuman ceremony of Mumukshu Rishibhai at JSGD social hall.
