This year, the day of Gurupoonam was held on Tuesday 19th July 2016 marked Ashadh Sud Poonam, Gurupoonam, a day dedicated to one’s Guru.
Gurudev Jeevanpran Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa, seated on a decorated palanquin, was brought in to the Temple along with offerings such as fruit.
Disciples listened to an audio recording and letter of Acharya Swamishree Maharaj's divine blessings on this joyous occasion, followed by an audio recording of Jeevanpran Swamibapa’s divine ashirwad.
Everyone then had the privilege of performing aarti and poojan to Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa before receiving prasad.
Acharya Shree Jitendriyapriyadasji Swamiji Maharaj is the current spiritual leader of Maninagar Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan. He is the heir to Acharya Shree Purushottampriyadasji Swamishree Maharaj, and sixth in the lineage of ascetic Acharyas, which descends directly from Lord Shree Swaminarayan.
