Prem Murti Acharya Swamishree Maharaj Asthi Suman
All the devotees had an opportunity to perform poojan of the kalash containing the divine ashes and panchamrut snan of Ved Ratna Acharya Swamishree Maharaj. Following the poojan, everyone offered Aarti to Lord Shree Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa and Ved Ratna Acharya Swamishree Maharaj. Divine Panchamrut Prasad was distributed to the congregation. Hundreds of devotees calmly waited on the shores for the divine darshan of Acharya Shree Jitendriyapriyadasji Swamiji Maharaj immersing Ved Ratna Acharya Swamishree Maharaj’s divine ashes into the waters of Indian Ocean. Devotees chanted Swaminarayan Mahamantra Dhoon during the entire visarjan ceremony.
Everyone took an ocean bath after the Asthi Suman Visarjan ceremony and sang kirtans in rememberance of Ved Ratna Acharya Swamishree Maharaj.
