Disciples of Mumbai perform devotional dances during Acharya Swamishree Maharaj's visit
Having returned to India after a 108 day tour of USA and UK, His Divine Holiness Acharya Swamishree Maharaj travelled from Ahmedabad to Mumbai during the evening of Sunday 14 September 2014.
This year, Acharya Swamishree Maharaj was not able to be present during the patotsav of Mumbai Mandir as His international tour had already commenced. Therefore, the devotional dance performances that the disciples of Mumbai had prepared for the patotsav were performed before Acharya Swamishree Maharaj during this visit.
Many local dignitaries including entrepreneur Mangal Prabhat Lodha, editor of Janmabhoomi publications Kundan Vyas, and film director Moti Sagar, came for the darshan of Acharya Swamishree Maharaj on this special occasion. Acharya Swamishree Maharaj presented them all with mementos of the newly opened Shree Swaminarayan Mandir, Kingsbury London.
His Divine Holiness Acharya Swamishree Purushottampriyadasji Maharaj is the spiritual leader of Maninagar Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan. He is the current and fifth heir in the lineage of ascetic Acharyas, which descends directly from Lord Shree Swaminarayan. He is the incumbent Acharya of Shree Swaminarayan Gadi.
