The evening sabha on Friday 25th August 2023 began with Acharya Swamiji Maharaj performing Sandhya Aarti to the Lord. Thereafter, there was a Gadi Granth Parayan Purnahuti. Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa and Shree Harikrishna Maharaj were beautifully adorned in yellow and blue vagha draped with a velvet purple shawl.
A swagat with dhol players led Gnan Mahodadhi Acharya Swamiji Maharaj into Purushottam Mahal where Swamiji Maharaj took His place on a gold and purple chariot.
The samuh raas performance unfolded, featuring a multitude of Sants and disciples skillfully playing an array of instruments, accompanied by a rendition of kirtans. Bapa graciously bestowed His Divine Darshan upon all the musicians present, along with the countless individuals who joyfully danced in His presence.
