Thu 11th Oct 2007 - Bhadarva Vad 15 Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Jayanti
Our beloved Jeevanpran Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa was born on Bhadarva Vad Amaas in the year Vikram Samvat 1962. He was born in the town of Kheda by the banks of the River Vartrak to Murjibhai and Ichhabaa. Before Jeevanpran Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa became a sant His name was Purushhotthambhai. The literal meaning of Purushottam is God - the almighty being. On Karthik sud Ekadasi in the Vikram Samvat 1986, Sadguru Ishwarcharandasji Swami initiated Purushhottambhai as a Sant, and he was given the name Shree Muktajeevandasji Swami.

During His childhood, Jeevanpran Swamibapa used to play divine games with his friends. Whilst playing on the banks of the River Vatrak, Jeevanpran Swamibapa would build a temple of sand and Swamibapa would install a Murti in the temple. Even in his youth, Jeevanpran Swamibapa revealed the purpose of his manifestation; to establish temples around the world.

Whilst playing, Jeevanpran Swamibapa's friends would and make a large heap of sand upon which they would make Swamibapa sit. They would offer a garland to Swamibapa and sit before him, and listen to his discourses. Swamibapa would make them all sit in meditation.

Each evening, the young Swamibapa would go to the temple and recite his favourite scripture, the Bhaktachintamani. His voice was sweet and he had an extraordinary flair for reciting the scripture. Therefore, everyone decided that he should recite the scriptures in the temple each day. All the disciples, both young and old, would attend and devoutly listen to his discourse.

After studying in Ahmedabad, Swamibapa went to Mumbai to work. It was there that he met some ardent followers of Bapashree. He attended a discourse during which a hand-written manuscript of Bapashree ni Vato was read. After hearing it only once, to everyone's amazement, Jeevanpran Swamibapa instantaneously memorised the entire chapter.

During Swamibapa's very first meeting with Sadguru Swamishree Ishwarcharandasji Swami, Sadguru Swamishree asked, "When are you coming here (to join the sant fraternity)?" Swamibapa replied, "Whenever you command me." Sadguru Swamishree said, "Come right now." Swamibapa replied, "I am ready," and remained there. Three days later, in Samvat 1986 Kartik Sud 11 (Wednesday 13th November 1929), Sadguru Shree Ishwarcharandasji Swami gave Swamibapa initiation as a sant and named him Shree Muktajeevandasji Swami.
