In Ghadada Middle Section – 28, Lord Shree Swaminarayan describes His spiritual discourses. “The discourses that I have given to you are the essence extracted after hearing all the narratives in the world about the attainment of salvation, such as those stated in the Vedas, Shastras and Puranas.

This is the ultimate essence. This is the essence of all essences. For all those who have attained salvation in the past, those who will attain it in the future, and those who are currently following the path of salvation, this narrative is like a lifeline.” Therefore, 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’.

The 199th Vachanamrut Jayanti celebrations at Maninagar Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan, Shree Swaminarayan Siddhant Sajivan Mandal – Nairobi commenced with a Pothi-Yatra from H.H. Swamibapa Hall to the main temple hall at 5.30pm. Disciples carried their Vachanamrut scriptures and sang glory of the divine scripture with musical instruments.

Acharya Swamishree Maharaj and Sant mandal then performed Poojan and Aarti to the holy scripture, followed by Sandhya Arti Niyams. Students of Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Education Centre elaborated the essence of Vachanamrut and recited a few dicsourses from it.

The event concluded with divine discourses from Acharya Swamishree Maharaj where He explained the value of the Vachanamrut and how our beloved Gurudev Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa also put weight on how every disciple of Shree Swaminarayan Gadi should read the Vachnamrut everyday to cleanse and purify their soul.
