Every year, GSB Sabha Mumbai organises a special day out for the community’s senior citizens, offering them a refreshing break from their daily routine and a chance to reconnect and bond with their extended families and old friends. This year, on 1st February 2026, more than 100 lively and spirited seniors embarked on a spiritual journey to our very own Balaji Temple Vashi, Navi Mumbai , Balaji Temple, Nerul and ISKCON, Kharghar, setting off in two buses generously sponsored by Smt. Roopa and Shri Vishnu Prabhu. The journey commenced with divine calling and the air soon filled with the nostalgic melodies of old Hindi film songs and soul-stirring bhajans, setting the perfect tone for the day ahead.
Upon arrival at Balaji Temple Vashi, a puja on behalf of the Sabha was performed with full participation, followed by wholesome and energising breakfast. The next stop was the majestic Balaji Temple at Nerul, a replica of Shree Balaji Temple,Tirumala followed by a visit to the iconic ISKCON temple at Kharghar.
After the divine tour, hungry participants were treated to a sumptuous lunch at Balaji Temple Vashi, with all engaging in soulful conversations and bonding. The lunch was followed not by a siesta, but with fun and games with all the seniors participating enthusiastically. The post lunch session was packed with light-hearted and fun-filled group games, ramp walk and a music and dance session by all participants. The group games were carefully selected to ensure full participation, The games led to bursts of carefree laughter, creating an atmosphere of joy and camaraderie.
As the evening approached, mouth-watering snacks were served bringing the picnic to an end. Before all realised, the time had come to bid adieu until we meet again.
With hearts full and spirits uplifted, the seniors boarded the buses, carrying home fond memories of a day well spent together.
The joy and happiness on the faces of our senior citizens and the heartfelt gratitude expressed by them, was worth the hard work put in by the group of convenors to ensure a memorable Senior Citizens Day out.
