- The SIGH of contentment when your perspective shifts, slightly and effortlessly.
- The HIGH of sharing this happiness with others.
- The AWE of celebrating art and culture.
- The RUSH of sports.
It’s a festival of fully living the life you’ve been given.
With a deeper takeaway of how you can direct yourself and take this life back home.

Testimonials
“I am in awe of the remarkable creativity and ideas that I have witnessed at the Global Youth Festival. The profound vision and guidance imparted by Pujya Gurudevshri has led to the massive achievement of bringing the most educated minds amongst the youth to engage in spirituality.”
“The entire ethos of Seva and Sadhana being followed here is something that should be internalised by youth across the world. The United Nations Environment Programme would be extremely honoured to work with Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur and its youth.”
“It is amazing to be in a space of energized youth from around the world all coming together with a single focus of bettering themselves and effectively others. The energy was vibrant and transformative and I walked away from it with new skills in my pocket and the strength to implement them.”
“As a software engineer, I tend to see things very logically. Pujya Gurudevshri’s discourses have shown me how logic and spirituality are actually two sides of a coin. It’s incredible! He demonstrates how truly simple and applicable spirituality is in day to day life.”
“I have had such a blast at Global Youth Festival! It is such a holistic experience which involves selfless service, sports, and powerful and inspiring discourses. Pujya Gurudevshri brings a contagious energy and a collective spirit that pushes me to better myself.”
“Global Youth Festival brings back so many good memories. From participating in the football World Cup of 2019, which brought me closer to youth from across the world, to selfless seva activities which brought me closer to a different strata of society, this festival has helped me grow and explore.”
“The Global Youth Festival is a great medium to understand how spirituality is woven into all aspects of our lives. You get to meet youth from all over the world who come together with a common goal to connect and grow, while having fun. I cannot wait for the next one.”
“Each activity is curated in a way that will help you discover a part of you that you never knew existed.”
