Janmashtami Celebrations
On Shravan Vad Aatham (8), disciples at Maninagar Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan – Shree Swaminarayan Siddhant Sajivan Mandal – Nairobi gathered to celebrate Janmashtami.
The celebrations commenced with Sandhya Aarti Niyams thereafter to an audio discourse of Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa. Thereafter an utsav samaiyo was performed in preparations of the pragatya. On this day we also celebrate the birth of Sadguru Shree Ramanand Swami. At 9.30pm the pragatya aarti was performed and everyone swayed Shree Ghanshyam Maharaj on a beautifully decorated cradle.
A prasad of “Panchajiri” was distributed to all.
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.
