NNDYM will continue to expand and grow. Youths from all parts of the world are working towards strengthening the foundation that has been laid and building upon it year upon year.

Below are some key accomplishments that NNDYM has had an integral role in achieving.

Bal Mandal Classes

• NNDYM conducts weekly educational Bal Mandal classes for the enrichment and personal development of youths.

• These classes cultivate cultural, spiritual, and social development for the pre-teen youths of our future.

• Activities such as arts and crafts and plays/skits are included in these classes.

• Field trips to science museums, aquaria, and picnics are held throughout the year.

• In striving to help the younger youth of Indian origin to fuse together their culture, Gujarati, tabla, harmonium, Indian classical dance, and spiritual development classes are organised throughout United States, Europe, Africa, India and Australasia.

Garba Festival (Navratri - Traditional Indian Dance)

• NNDYM organises a nine day festival called Navratri every year. A traditional Indian dance originating from the state of Gujarat called ‘ raas garba ' is enjoyed by thousands of people from all walks of life.

• This grand festival welcomes anyone and everyone, as it gives them a valuable insight into Indian culture.

Volunteer Services at Great Festivals

• Rajat Jayanti Suvarn Jayanti Utsav – the Swaminarayan sampraday is famous for the well organised and peaceful celebrations of grand festivals. This celebration was the largest in recent years with over 10,000 volunteers from NNDYM helping out doing everything from looking after people's shoes to managing the sabha-mandap .

• Chhapaiya Nij Mandir Murti Pratishta Mohotsav – this festival took place in Uttar Pradesh at a time when there were riots and curfews imposed in Gujarat . Despite these conditions, over 1200 volunteers made the journey to help celebrate this grand festival.

• Shashti Purti Mahotsav – over 12,000 volunteers from NNDYM were involved in and around the Gujarat University Grounds, working around the clock to ensure that the festival ran smoothly.

NNDYM International Camps

• For the past 9 years, NNDYM has organised international camps in various parts of the Europe, Africa, United States , India and Australasia.

• Inspired by His Holiness Acharya Maharaj Koshalendraprasadji Pande and His wife, Her Holiness Gadiwalashri, youths from all around the world attend these camps.

• Youths learn to introspect, and identify the person they are and strive to achieving self improvement and personal satisfaction through various inspirational lectures, group discussions and presentations, cultural shows, arts and crafts, hiking trips, sports activities, Indian classical dance, henna art, and spiritual singing sessions.

Regional Conferences

Since 2002, NNDYM has prepared quarterly regional conferences for youths.

• Regionally, youths get together for a few days to reflect on the community activities, personal spiritual progress, and discuss future goals.

Monthly NNDYM Satsang Sabhas

NNDYM organises monthly satsang sabhas for youth of all ages. Members meet once a month at their local temple or chapter to:

• Sing bhajan/kirtans

• Read/discuss the Vachnamrut

• View episodes from the dramatisation of Shree Swaminarayan Bhagwan's life: ‘Jay Shree Swaminarayan'

• And discuss any obstacles/challenges they may be facing in society.

These satsang sabhas are a great way to forge friendships and strengthen the network of highly motivated youths. These monthly satsang sabhas encourage the young people to seek a higher purpose to life by exploring their inner self, learning more about Shree Swaminarayan Bhagwan, and networking amongst their peers, they are creating an environment more conducive to happiness and success.

Female Youth Conferences

• The Swaminarayan Faith from its inception has stressed the importance of women in society. In an effort to advance the progress of Indian women in their pursuit of individuality and independence, the first ever NNDYM female youth conference was held in December 2003, under the banner “Truth: Explore, Experience and Express”.

• Female conferences have since become an annual event, facilitating discussions and workshops to challenge the ladies to incorporate the theme into their lives.

• With dynamic discussions and workshops the female youth are challenged to incorporate the “Truth” theme into their lives.

ISSO-NNDYM Sports Day

• In different regions across the United States and Europe , NNDYM organises a fun-filled competitive day of games and sports.

• Sports Activities such as baseball, volleyball, cricket, potato sack races, obstacle races, and track & field events are organised for youths of different ages. The day is filled with food and fun and a handful of new friends.

Religion in today's world is more important than ever. Due to the many different paths people can choose for their lives, people are more likely to suffer spiritually. The simplicity found in the Swaminarayan religion touches on every aspect of a person's life. The path that is created is simple and steadfast as opposed to the lifestyle people lived many years ago. People do question and dare to live independent lives. Religion can offer solutions to problems that are neither spiritual nor religious. Religion offers the soul a path clear of self-inflicted pain. Swaminarayan religion stresses the importance of practical living and surviving to achieve eternal happiness. NNDYM is a medium for the principles of religion to be integrated into the lives of youth, stressing the importance of “being human first, then religious.”
