The disciples of Mankuva-Kutch, were given the opportunity to celebrate Shakotsav in the presence of Acharya Swamishree Maharaj on Tuesday 31 January 2017. Acharya Swamishree Maharaj was led from the Mandir to the stage seated on a traditional cart, and then dance and kirtan bhakti performances were given by the young disciples of Mankuva. Acharya Swamishree Maharaj then re-enacted the episode of Samvat 1877 (1820 CE, Kartik Vad 10 in Loya), when Lord Shree Swaminarayan taught us about the importance of servitude by preparing and serving aubergine curry (shak) Himself to the gathered disciples.
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.
