His Divine Holiness Acharya Swamishree Maharaj arrived in Maninagar Dham following His vicharan of the UK, USA and Canada. He, along with a Mandal of Sants had been visiting disciples residing in those countries, tirelessly travelling their length and breadth, promoting the two upcoming Mahotsavs - Shree Abji Bapashree Shatamrut Mahotsav and Shree Vacharamrut Dwishatabdi Mahotsav, which are to be held in November 2019.
Upon His arrival back to Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Maninagar, Acharya Swamishree Maharaj was saluted by Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Pipe Band Maninagar, who led Him through the forecourt of the Mandir where thousands of disciples had gathered – eagerly awaiting His divine darshan. Sants performed Aarti to Acharya Swamishree Maharaj before His magnificent golden chariot was led to the steps of the Mandir, which were laden with fresh flowers. Hundreds more disciples welcomed Acharya Swamishree Maharaj into the Mandir, where He lovingly garlanded and embraced Lord Shree Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa, and offered aarti to Them.
