Acharya Swamishree Arrives in Nairobi
On bright sunny day of 1st December 2016, HDH Acharya Swamishree together with a group of sants arrived in Nairobi for a two month tour of East Africa. A mini procession from the junction of 2nd Avenue Parklands filled the aura with a mixture of Scottish music and Indian traditional wear.
HDH Acharya Swamishree sat on a chariot pulled by ardent devotees as Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Pipe Band - Nairobi led the procession to the temple. The respect, attachment, love and affection that oozed from disciples towards HDH Acharya Swamishree surpassed that which was given to the Mughal kings of the ancient India upon their arrival after a victory over an enemy. A red velvet carpet draped with colourful soft flower petals awaited for Darshan of the lotus feet of HDH Acharya Swamishree. With Harikrishan Maharaj close to His heart, Acharya Swamishree slowly strolled towards the sihasan and reverently performed aarti and dandvat.
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.
