The Swaminarayan Faith has flourished in the Kutch region for over 200 years. Accepting the requests of disciples living in Kutch, Lord Shree Swaminarayan Himself toured in the region on 11 separate occasions, from 1804 to 1823 AD. Due to the Lord's unsurpassed divine love, countless people living in Kutch were attracted to Him and became devout disciples. The spread of the Swaminarayan Faith has continued in Kutch through the Lord's spiritual descendents. This scripture, 'Kutchma Karan Satsang', is a historical precis of how the Faith was established there, and was preserved and propagated by Gurudev Jeevanpran Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa. Acharya Swamishree Maharaj's continuing work for spiritual and social welfare in Kutch is also summarised in the publication.
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.
