- Basanth Panchami — Birthday of Grand Master Lalaji Maharaj, celebrated over three consecutive days.
- Pujya Babuji Maharaj's Birthday — Born 30 April 1899, celebrated over three consecutive days.
- Sri Krishna Janmashtami — A day of fasting observed at all ISRC centres.
Audio recordings and PDF transcripts of talks delivered at these congregations are archived below, grouped by celebration. For the significance and observance of each occasion, see the main-site Events pages.

The celebrations are observed on Basanth Panchami day and held for three consecutive days with five satsangs (group meditation sessions) each day. Talks are delivered by Pujya Sri K.C. Narayana during the celebrations.
Marfat, a devotional song traditionally sung during the Basanth celebrations, is also part of this gathering.
