The golden jubilee year of Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj commenced on Sunday 15th May 2011
The golden jubilee year of Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj commenced on Sunday 15th May 2011, which was the anniversary of when Jeevanpran Swamibapa installed the Murtis of the supreme Lord in the magnificent Mandir in the heart of Bhuj. Exactly 49 years have passed since that auspicious day, and next year, with the inspiration of Acharya Swamishree, a grand festival will take place in the city to celebrate the Temple’s golden jubilee.
A procession was held through the main street of Bhuj, which passed many of the city’s historical sites, many of which have been restored and preserved with funding donated by Maninagar Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan.
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.
