Vedas in the Valley took place on 7 June 2025 at the peaceful Vrindavan Ecovillage, nestled within the scenic River Range Ranch in Verulam, KZN. The sacred grounds, still vibrant with the divine energy of the Ati Rudra Maha Yajna held there in April 2024, provided a perfect backdrop for a day of spiritual elevation.
​
The morning opened with Shri Sekharji invoking the divine through powerful Vedic chants, followed by deeply moving devotional bhajans. In his discourse, Sekharji offered profound reflections on the Avataric mission of Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba — a mission rooted in the protection, revival, and nourishment of the Vedas. He illuminated the deeper significance of the ten Avatars, each with their own divine purpose, while emphasizing the uniqueness of the Sai Avatar’s role in Veda Rakshana (protection), Veda Poshana (nourishment), and Veda Dharana (preservation). This sacred mission, he reminded us, is a rare and precious opportunity for all to learn, chant, and embody the Vedas in today’s world.
​
The event drew a gathering of approximately 250 devotees who came together in unity to chant, sing, and spread vibrations of universal peace and divine love. The uplifting day concluded with the serving of maha prasadam during the midday meal — a fitting close to a spiritually enriching experience.
