South Africa - Talent Show and Memorial Dedication | Pretoria Region

On the 14th of June 2024, the Balvikas Gurus had originally planned a vibrant Talent Contest for the end-of-term function. The event was set to showcase the diverse talents of the Balvikas students, including talks, poems, raps, bhajans, and more. However, the untimely passing of a beloved Young Adult, Dasharyn Pynee, on the 8th of June, led to a heartfelt change in the event’s focus.

Dasharyn Pynee had been a pillar of support within the Education Wing, known for his dedication and contributions to the Centre. In light of his passing, the Gurus decided to transform the Talent Show into a memorial dedication of bhajans in his honor. This change was embraced by the community as a way to celebrate Dasharyn’s life and his significant impact on the Education Wing and the Centre as a whole.

The event turned into a beautiful and emotional tribute, with the Balvikas students sharing heartfelt messages about their interactions and experiences with Dasharyn. These touching remembrances highlighted his positive influence and the many lives he touched with his kindness and dedication. The bhajan session, filled with melodious and soulful renditions, became a celebration of Dasharyn’s life, echoing the love and respect the community held for him.
