His Divine Holiness Acharya Swamishree Maharaj presided over the Janmashtami celebrations at Shree Swaminarayan Mandir, Bolton on Thursday 15th August.
Janmashtami is significant in the Swaminarayan Faith as it marks the manifestation day of Sadguru Shree Ramamand Swami – the Lord’s own Guru. This day marks the 278th Pragaty Jayanti of Shree Ramamand Swami. Today is particularly important to the disciples of Shree Swaminarayan Gadi as marks 97 years since Jeevanpran Abji Bapashree established the Satsang Mahasabha by to protect the Faith and its assets.
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.
