Magsar Vad 11, 22 nd December 2019 marked the 218 th Pragatya Jayanti of Shree Swaminarayan Mahamantra. To mark this memorable day, devotees in Nairobi organized a Bhakti Sangeet Nite to please Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa and HDH Acharya Swamishree Purushottampriyadasji Swamishree Maharaj.
Sants and devotees sang kirtans choreographed by Nand Padvi sants. Musically talented devotees played all types of instruments to give a rhythmic music to go with the words of the kirtans which touched everyone’s hearts. The musical team played tabla, dholak, octopad, harmonium, keyboard and manjira to give a blend of music to the kirtans. This day as well marked the commencement of the Vachanamrut Parayan to celebrate the upcoming 67 th Annual Patotsav of Lord Shree Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa in Nairobi. The musical team thoroughly entertained the audience who swayed sideways, back and forth with the tune of the kirtans and merged into the murti of Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa.
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.
