Acharya Swamishree stated that, “whoever came into Lord Swaminarayans’ gaze during the procession, became worthy of salvation…” He further explained that, “we as humans aren’t capable of doing anything without the grace of the Lord, and due to His grace, each of us are able to excel in our various fields.
