On July 31, 2008, Swami Hariprasadji and five sadhus of Haridham Sokhada visited His Divine Holiness Acharya Swamishree and the mandal of sants at Shree Swaminarayan Temple New Jersey. Swami Hariprasadji had visited Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Maninagar on his 75th birthday and had met with sants there; however, Acharya Swamishree had been on His vicharan in Nairobi, Kenya.
During the visit, Swami Hariprasadji and his sadhus met with Acharya Swamishree and sants and did darshan to the divine murtis of Lord Swamianrayanbapa Swamibapa. Acharya Swamishree and Swami Hariprasadji then presented each other with flower garlands. Acharya Swamishree then presented Swami Hariprasadji with a Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Smruti Mandir model and a set of the English Vachnamrut. Afterwards, Sadguru Shree Jitendrapriyadasji Swami gave a speech about the occasion and the glory of Lord Swaminarayan.
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.
