A special spiritual gathering, “Guruvandana Samaroh-2024,” took place at the Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple in New Delhi, graced by the presence of H.H. Mahant Swami Maharaj, the spiritual leader of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha. A large number of devotees were present in the assembly.
The assembly commenced with the singing of devotional songs, creating an atmosphere of reverence and devotion. This was followed by a presentation on “esha brahmi status:”(the ultimate state of spiritual enlightenment) a concept drawn from the second chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, which discusses the attainment of the highest state of spiritual enlightenment.
The Sadhus of BAPS shared inspiring incidents from the life of H.H. Mahant Swami Maharaj, illustrating his spiritually enlightened state. They also delivered discourses on the vital role of a Guru in one’s life, emphasizing the profound impact of spiritual guidance. The atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm, serenity, and deep devotion, further elevated by a cultural dance performed by young volunteers in the divine presence of H.H. Mahant Swami Maharaj.
H.H. Mahant Swami Maharaj then addressed the assembly, imparting his blessings and wisdom: “Bhagavan Swaminarayan descended into this world to bless and guide us. He chose to incarnate to impart divine knowledge, teach us the essence of Satsang, and guide us on the righteous path toward God. The Vachanamrut, the sacred scripture, is the ultimate guide spoken by Bhagavan Swaminarayan and faithfully transcribed by H.H. Gunatitanand Swami.”
The event concluded with the Sadhus and devotees expressing their deep reverence, and gratitude to H.H. Mahant Swami Maharaj for his divine guidance and unwavering support.
