25th Vicharan Celebrations
On the 30th of December 2013, disciples in Nairobi organized a special event to celebrate the 25th vicharan of Acharya Swamishree. To mark this auspicious event, devotees made a garland that measured 25ft and a boquet which held 25 roses.
The celebrations started off with Acharya Swamishree arriving in the temple hall and the 25ft garland was adorned on him and a boquet too. Sants and devotees gathered all around AcharyaSwamishree like the rays of the sun and performed various devotions, such as; Dhyan, sashtaang and panchang danvat and aarti.
The celebrations were concluded with devotees hailing Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa and Param Pujya Acharya Swamishree.
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.
