A Bhajan Kirtan was also performed in the Ashram and Swami Kumar Ji gave religious discourses and highlighted the significance of Yagnopavit Sanskar among the Hindus.

Swami Ji said his Ashram has so far performed Yagnopavit ceremony of hundreds of boys and the Ashram has taken it a onus to shoulder this responsibility in near future also.
