The day when Shree Sahajanand Swami was handed over the helm of Karan Satsang by Shree Ramanand Swami.
Supreme Lord Swaminarayan spread His prowess while seated on His Divine Throne, Shree Swaminarayan Gadi.
Jeevanpran Shree Abji Bapashree jayanti.
Initiation of Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa to santhood by Shree Ishwarcharandasji Swami.
On this day, a two hour continuous Shree Swaminarayan Mahamantra Dhoon was held after which devotees performed poojan to Muktajeevan Swamibapa and listened to His divine blessings. This was followed by a celebration marking the manifestation of Shree Abji Bapashree. Lastly, panchajiri prasad was distributed to all.
