Garland of Devotion

Here in Romania we all gather. All united with one desire. To engulf in Mothers love. To meditate and ascent above.

Here in the grassy plains in Oradea. The passing days filled with euphoria. Brothers and sisters connecting through the heart. A bond so strong it will not grow apart.

So much singing and so much joy. From the heart of every girl and every boy. Vibrations so strong and so high. We feel the heavens in the sky.

They have come down to the earth. Here in Oradea there is a new birth. Our Bhakti is so strong and so true. We're able to feel it in the hearts of me and you.

Now it is a special place in my heart Oradea. I will never forget these days that we have spent in the beautiful country of Romania. 🇷🇴

This seminar was special, I have no words to express the joy we felt in gathering together and celebrating our Mother in the puja and the vibrations and blessings She bestowed upon us were tremendous.

Every single meditation was so heartfelt and so deep, it was amazing, Jai Shri Mataji🙏❤️

- Macindranath, Italy

Oradea is a very beautiful city when you are surrounded by pleasant people who make you laugh and then make you cry when you need to go back home. We talked and our voice was gone we told stories and we never slept (enough) but we were never tired, until we were, at some point

We ate sarmale and mici with mustard the whole romanian experience! ...except tuica

We have shared gifts, blessings and feelings we wrote little poems nice words for everybody "i'm happy we met" and "i can't wait to see you again" It's a collective feeling one that's hard to capture in words but i feel the others and i'm not the same without them. Coming back, i see the world with different eyes like a curtain has been removed simple life is not enough anymore i need to feel the joy

Mornings have been pleasant and waking up hasn't been hard thanks to a certain someone and her disney songs

I've learned new things and i've met new people. We drank tea and we ate cake (thanks mom, love you)

I can now proudly say that i have friends everywhere austria, india, uk belgium, france, turkiye spain, brazil germany, czech republic

I feel at home in oradea in romania in europe anywhere, anytime. When we're together we are part of the whole our hearts are open we are yuva shakti

- Stefania, Romania

The seminar was exceptionally well-organized in every aspect. I truly appreciated the warmth and kindness of the organizers. Experiences like these allow us, as yuvas, to genuinely understand and embody Sahaj qualities. They help us recognize the greater purpose that the Divine has for us and foster a profound sense of belonging within the collective. Such gatherings serve as a reminder of how effortlessly joy, wisdom, and spiritual growth unfold when we come together in the spirit of Sahaj. The sincerity and devotion shared by everyone made this seminar not just an event, but a truly enriching experience.

Additionally, being able to experience Romanian culture firsthand added a unique and beautiful dimension to the seminar. From the heartfelt hospitality to the local traditions, it was a wonderful opportunity to connect not just spiritually, but also culturally, deepening our appreciation for the diversity within our global Sahaj family.

I would start with the greatest feeling that Shri Mataji was always with us during this amazing seminar! Believe it or not, this was my first Yuva seminar to participate in. I feel like a lot of puzzle pieces just united and made a picture which completes a level of my evolution.

I would like to thank from the bottom of all the 3 hearts I have to all the organisers that made this seminar happen May Shri Mataji bless you all!

- Ananda, Romania

First of all i wanted to thank all the yuvas and the uncles that organized this seminar and took part in it, it has been a wonderful weekend. Of course words are not enough to express the amazing experience we had. I felt that everything, from the organization to the amazing nature that surrounded us, from the collective moments to the food, was perfect and helped to create a wave of collective joy which filled our hearts. I enjoyed the presence of all the yuvas and i really felt at home with them, like a big family.

I can't wait to meet them again soon and live more moments like in the seminar. Also Romania is a beatiful land and romanians are very warm, genuine and kind. I'll come back for sure to enjoy more. Hip hip hooray for Romania and its yogis!❤️🇷🇴

- Giacomo, Italy

This seminar was one for the soul. It didn't feel we were in a specific country, continent, it just felt we were in the realm of pure joy. From the second we arrived many of us just felt that indeed it will be a great time ahead of us. It was really beautiful to meet people that were going through the same things in life, looking for the same things spiritually, and just wanting to be there for their enjoyment of the soul. What a great moment for the yuva collective of Romania to have this opportunity to welcome the foreign yuvas and show them our country, culture, and yogis.

I feel it really made us open our hearts even more and just exponentially raise our vibrations collectively. Even days after the seminar has ended I still feel such strong vibrations and a deep state during meditations. To many more! Can't wait for the next one!

- Shivangi, Romania

Seminar was really very good, very good experience and vibrations and such a joy and love to meet and know everyone ❤️

Am still maintaining the same state we all achieved in the seminar and trying to cherish all the moments we had 😍

Waiting for the next seminar real soon!🤩

- Sarvagya, Romania

Last weekend, i participated in my first ever seminar, and it was amazing. I got to see my friends again, but also had the chance to meet new people from all over the world. From the food, which was cooked by the most skilled uncles, to the Puja, which was organised very seriouslly and with so much love, to the public program, in which I had the amazing opportunity to sing on stage with the best people (who are also extremly talented musicians) to the hike, which was so much fun (even if it rained and my not-hiking shoes got really wet and dirty, it was worth it). I feel immensly blessed to have been part of such an astonishing experience, and I thank the organisers from the bottom of my heart for creating this opportunity.

Hopefully this is the first seminar out of many more, here in Romania, and I cannot wait to come to all of the others. ❤️

- Karuna, Romania

It was the deepest honour to get to meet and know the most wonderful beings that are the Romanian Sahaja Yogis, and their endless depth, generosity, and joy. The people and their dedication to each other is what blessed this seminar and unlocked levels of joy and love I didn't know had been possible.

The only desire left is to return as soon as possible and see every beautiful brother and sister, uncle and aunty, again.

- Nandini, Austria

My experience of this seminar is really hard to put in words. For me it was like I finally was able to express the joy I had been hiding subconciously within myself for some time with all the other yogis around me. I enjoyed every single second in the seminar!

Such a joy to spend time with the yuva collective! And I really look forward to more of this in the future!

- Mikail, Turkey - Romania

It will be a fond memory for me.

I really love meeting everyone and spending time together. Love the fact that everyone was happy to join all the activities.

I love everything from the place, activities, Sahaj program, the puja!

- Sandra, France - Romania

As the Romanian Yuva Seminar was my first Yuva seminar I ever attended, I didn't know what to expect and therefore I was quite excited. First of all, when I arrived I was amazed by the landscape of Romania as it was also my first time visiting this beautiful country. Casa Delureni was the perfect venue for the seminar as the hills around and the farms with its animals created a breathtaking atmosphere. Also the program was perfectly chosen and organized as everything worked out just as it was meant to be by Mother. From the Puja preparations to the Puja itself, to the qawwalis after the Puja, to the Oradea city trip on the next day, the visit at the Oradea Sahaj center and the realization music program everything was just so amazing and full of divine vibrations. Unfortunately I had to leave the following day so I couldn't take part in the hike on Sunday anymore. But for my first seminar it reached far out of my expectations and it is just indescribable how thankful I am to all the organizers that this seminar took place. If there will be a seminar somewhen again in Romania I won't hesitate even for a second to sign up again.

This gathering with all the Yuvas from around the world and Uncles and Aunties in Romania will be a memory which I will never forget anymore. If there will be a seminar again in Romania somewhen I won't hesitate even for a second to sign up again. So to conclude I just can repeat myself: Thank you for everything! You all have a place deep in my ❤️

- Hannes, Austria

It was a lovely 4 days along with lovely (and many young) yuvas. Overall it was a beautiful experience especially knowing that it was the first for some. I loved getting to know everyone especially the youngsters such a the kids from Czech. There was so much love and happiness, everyone was beaming with joy. The concert was incredible and it transcended us to a whole other level and we were so lucky to have Shri Matajis birthday Puja all organised collectively from scratch .

We thank the uncles and aunties for all their help and the delicious food and Romanian traditions they brought through and can't wait to have another such amazing seminar!🙏🏼💜💫🌀

- Ananya, Romania

For their first Romanian yuva seminar, they truly went above and beyond.

I enjoyed every second of it.

- Omkar, UK

Jay Shri Mataji! This seminar was wonderful! I didn't feel bored one minute and I really enjoyed all our activities! The entire seminar was planned really well and the icebreakers were a really good idea.

I had so much fun talking and singing with the other yuvas and I hope I will experience this once again 😊!!

- Nirmala, Romania

Do you know the feeling, when you meet a new person and think: ,, Wow, they are so cool!” And immediately you feel impressed by them. Imagine walking into a room filled with people like that. People, who amaze you with their incredible talent, warm smiles, open hearts and immense kindness. People who inspire you not only in their dedication but also their acceptance, love and generosity. Now imagine you get to spend the whole weekend with these people, while getting to know pieces of Romanian culture and enjoying the peaceful nature around you.

This seminar was a beautiful experience full of inspiration, joyful music and delicious food and I am grateful I could be a part of it.

- Isabela, Czechia

I think and trouble My daily life I pounder But I remember a small break In this whole maya lake

It was a day or two Three or more In Oradea and some huts Multiple yogis and a few mutts

Started on a Thursday Ended on a Tuesday Created new bondings Acquired new spirit findings Celebrated Mother's Birthday Quite breathtaking, I wanted to say

Venture in the heart of others Sarmale with sisters and brothers Bhajans and qawalies for newcomers Felt just like one of those summers

Rushing like a waterfall To the next grill for all Gather around the table So you will be able To experience the feast Dance the "hora" and never to cease To be amazed, raised through joy Of the present living like a lover boy

But everything comes to roll Back in place all will fall A new bliss will befall Until then, god bless y'all!

- Nick, Romania

The seminar held in the mountains of Romania was amazing and beyond words. We all the realized souls of Shree Mataji united together, worshiped, and sang Her praise. We had meditations with deep prayers, which felt that we were sitting in the Kingdom of God. We danced, laughed, ate mici, and created lifelong bonds that are unbreakable.

Thank you Shri Mataji, and all the amazing yuvas, yogis, and volunteers who made this possible ❤️

- Sunita, Romania

The Yuva Seminar 2025 in Romania was an absolutely magical experience that filled my heart with joy and gratitude. Celebrating Shri Mataji's birthday surrounded by such vibrant, loving souls made me feel completely at home in the divine vibrations we created together. From the ecstatic dancing and hilarious card game battles to the deeply moving experience-sharing sessions and energizing bhajans, every moment radiated pure Sahaj love. The challenging but rewarding trek, and cozy family-like evenings created memories I'll cherish forever. A heartfelt thank you to all the yuvas for your beautiful energy, and to the dedicated uncles and aunties - especially Uncle Mihai - who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make everything perfect.

This seminar wasn't just an event - it was a living example of our collective spirit, and undoubtedly the highlight of my year so far. Jai Shri Mataji!✨

Aloha and, as we say in Romania, may your heart be blessed (bună să vă fie inima).

It's been a week since the seminar finished and I'm still processing everything that happened (what to do, Ardeal DNA is very strong in this one, I'll get there slowly but surely). Not to brag, but I think this was one of the best seminars I've ever attended. Many miracles took place in this seminar like: declared lazy person washing ALL the dishes for 40+ people. Or persons who before seminar were like “I'm very shy, I don't know how I'm going to talk to others” becoming the soul of the party. Or persons who can't live without sleeping being awake for hours and hours. Or the other way round, persons who used to stay up all night going to sleep at 1a.m. 😱

Of course this seminar didn't work the same for all. Not all people had their miracle. That's why we'll have another one so that everyone can unlock their full potential 😇

In a more serious note, I've been amazed by all the Yuvas I met. It was the first time meeting most of them. But I saw them writing poems, composing songs, drawing beautiful pictures, basically expressing their inner beauty in their own way. And the sweetest part was when everyone was writing the notes for others and you could see their struggle to fit all their love in small-small notes and few words. This is something that I'll keep in my heart forever and the notes in my wallet. Thank you all very much❤️

Jay Shri Mataji!

My experience at the first seminar was wonderful. I met new people from different parts of the world. It was a special adventure, full of learning and magical moments. I made new friends, and we shared different ideas and perspectives. I enjoyed every moment, and the atmosphere at the seminar was extremely pleasant. Thank you so much to all of you for this unforgettable experience! ❤️
