Precisely thirty years ago, Acharya Swamishree Maharaj built Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Kheda at the exact location where our beloved Gurudev manifested.
For thousands of years, the city of Kheda on the banks of the River Vatrak has been revered as sacred. Previously known as Chakravratti and Khetakpur, it was the birthplace and home to several great historical Kings. However, what gives Kheda its most special significance, is that it is where Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa manifested upon this Earth on Monday 7th October 1907 (Samvat 1963 Bhadarva Vad Amas). Precisely thirty years ago, Acharya Swamishree Maharaj built Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Kheda at the exact location where our beloved Gurudev manifested.
Hundreds of Sants and disciples gathered to celebrate the occasion, during which Sadguru Shree Jitendriyapriyadasji Swami performed aarti and poojan, followed by the divine blessings of Acharya Swamishree Maharaj.
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.
