Khergam to Host Grand Bhagwat Katha in March: Youth Brigade Takes Charge for Ancestral Salvation; ‘Shreefal Muhurat’ Performed

Breaking News: A wave of spirituality is set to sweep across the border taluka of Khergam (Valsad-Navsari region).

The sacred land of Khergam will witness the flowing of the ‘Gyan Ganga’ (River of Knowledge) with the organization of a grand Shrimad Bhagwat Katha. Scheduled for the holy month of March 2026, coinciding with the auspicious days of Chaitra Navratri, this event promises to be a spiritual landmark for the region.

The event is being organized by the Jalaram Yuvak Mandal with the noble intention of ‘Pitru Moksha’ (Salvation of Ancestors) and the welfare of the entire community.

Recently, on the pious occasion of Makar Sankranti, the formal ‘Shreefal Muhurat’ (Coconut Ceremony) was conducted, marking the official beginning of the preparations. The enthusiasm among the devotees of Khergam is already palpable.

Makar Sankranti: A Holy Beginning

In Hindu tradition, the success of any great religious endeavor depends on its auspicious beginning. Adhering to this belief, the members of the Jalaram Yuvak Mandal visited the residence of the designated storyteller (Kathakar) on Makar Sankranti.

By offering a sacred coconut (Shreefal) to the Kathakar, the youth formally invited him to lead the spiritual journey. This ritual sealed the dates and the commitment for the event.

Kathakar Kashyap Jani welcomed the mandal members with traditional warmth. The atmosphere was charged with devotion as everyone prayed for the seamless execution of the upcoming Katha. With this ceremony, the countdown for the mega religious festival in Khergam has officially begun.

Event Details & Schedule (March 2026)

The Bhagwat Katha is meticulously planned for March. Here are the key details for the devotees:

Since the timing coincides with Chaitra Navratri, devotees will experience a double dose of spirituality—worshipping the Goddess in the morning and listening to the glory of Lord Krishna in the afternoon. The afternoon slot is particularly convenient for women and the elderly in rural areas.

A Noble Cause: Ancestral Welfare (Pitru Kalyan)

Listening to the Shrimad Bhagwat Katha is considered the ultimate path for the liberation of souls. The primary objective behind this event in Khergam is ‘Sarva Pitru Kalyan’ (Welfare of all ancestors).

The youth of Jalaram Yuvak Mandal have resolved to dedicate this Katha to the peace of the departed souls of the region. Special Tarpan and rituals will likely be part of the week-long event.

The venue, Gawli Faliya, located near the revered Jalaram Temple, is already a center of faith. The Katha will turn this spot into a pilgrimage site for seven days.

Local Scholar Kashyap Jani on Vyaspeeth

A unique feature of this event is that the Vyaspeeth (the seat of the narrator) will be graced by Khergam’s very own learned scholar, Shastri Kashyap Jani.

Known for his simple yet profound storytelling style, Kashyapbhai has a deep connection with the local culture. Being a local son of the soil, his narration is expected to resonate deeply with the emotions of the Khergam residents.

During the Katha, iconic festive occasions of Lord Krishna’s life such as Nand Mahotsav, Govardhan Puja, Rukmini Vivah, and Sudama Charitra will be celebrated with pomp and grandeur.

Youth Power: Jalaram Yuvak Mandal

The organization of such a massive event by the Jalaram Yuvak Mandal highlights the spiritual awakening among the new generation.

The youth are working day and night to ensure the event’s success. Preparations are underway for a grand marquee (Mandap), advanced sound systems, and comfortable seating arrangements. Special care is being taken to provide drinking water and other amenities for the thousands of devotees expected to attend.

“We want the entire Khergam Taluka to dive into this ocean of devotion, not just Gawli Faliya,” said a representative of the Mandal. Elders of the village have lauded the constructive energy of the youth.

Conclusion: Khergam Awaits the Festival of Faith

In conclusion, the Bhagwat Katha in Khergam is not just a religious program; it is a symbol of social unity and respect for ancestors.

From March 20 to 26, Khergam will transform into ‘Gokuldham’. With the combined efforts of the Jalaram Yuvak Mandal and the melodious narration of Kashyap Jani, this event is set to be etched in the memories of the locals for years to come.
