From amongst all the scriptures in the world, Vachanamrut scripture is supreme. For souls to attain salvation, this is the greatest, the most elite of all scriptures.
The Vachanamrut, a compilation of 273 spiritual discourses, is divided into 10 sections.
The glory of Vachanamrut scripture, together with its Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika is such that, if anyone devoutly recited or listens to this scripture, Shreeji (Lord Swaminarayan) merges him into His Murti.
Devotees at Maninagar Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan, Shree Swaminarayan Siddhant Sajivan Mandal - Nairobi; commenced Shree Vachanamrut 198th Jayanti celebrations by conducting a ‘Pothi Yatra’ where HDH Acharya Swamishree Maharaj, Sant Mandal and devotees carried the divine Scripture from H.H. Swamibapa Hall to the main temple hall. Acharya Swamishree Maharaj then performed Poojan and Arti to the supreme scripture - Vachanamrut.
Students from Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Education Centre Nairobi recited Vachanamrut sections to please Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa and Acharya Swamishree Maharaj.
The Vachanamrut scripture is the scripture of classical Hinduism, containing nectar (Amrut), in the form of divine words (Vachan) from the lotus mouth of Lord Shree Swaminarayan; and for that reason, the scripture is called ‘Vachan-Amrut’.
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.
