Acharya Swamishree Maharaj's Ashirwad - 23rd Dec 2016
Through the scripture “Shree Swaminarayan Gadi”, Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa explains to us the glory of Lord Shree Swaminarayan, Jeevanpran Shree AbjiBapa and the entire universal genealogy (Vanshavali) of Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan. He also explains that one cannot unite his soul with the Lord and mota-purush without having an understanding the divine glory of the Lord. One who shows intense love and identifies himself with the Lord and mota-purush attains divine happiness.
For one to have affection towards God, they have to understand the glory (mahima) of the Lord. An angelic soul gets his inclination towards the Lord affixed. A disciple who awakens the angelic inclination, present in him, towards God attains the divine happiness.
Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa taught us how perform and say prathnas to the Lord so that we can awaken our love for the Lord. Finally Acharya Swamishree concluded by saying that, we have to perform true devotion in order to avoid going far from the Lord and while doing Satsang, to be very careful so as to avoid inclination towards the evil.
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.
