After performing Shanghar Aarti, Acharya Swamiji Maharaj presided on His chariot, where the Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Pipe Band Maninagar was already formed in two disciplined flanks, ready to salute the Lord before leading Bapa to the Sabha Mandap.
The Band also included the young Cadets of the Band - aspiring children who will one day form part of the main Band. The principal sponsors of the day had the opportunity to draw Bapa’s chariot into the Sabha Mandap. The Band soon led the parade into the Sabha Mandap and the sponsoring disciples had the opportunity to offer poojan to Bapa. Thereafter Bapa presided in the grand Sinhasan, and the eagerly awaiting disciples that filled both tiers of the sabha enjoyed His divine darshan.
