Sadguru Shree Akhileshwardasji Swami - Shraddhanjali Prayers
Shraddhanjali prayers, in loving memory of Sadguru Shree Akhileshwardasji Swami, were held at Swamibapa Temple, Nairobi.Sadguru Shree Akhileshwardasji Swami departed this mortal world on Thursday, 20th November 2014 and has merged within the divine murti of Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa. Age wise, he was the eldest and in terms of initiation as a sant, he was the first among the present sant mandal. As a sant, he served Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa for 56 great years (1958 - 2014). Shraddhanjali prayers were held to mark the departure of such a prodigious and staunch sant. To the devotees of Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan, this is a huge loss.
A half an hour dhoon and dhyan were conducted by each and every member of the vast congregation that had gathered to convey their profound gratitude to this remarkable and loving sant of Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa. Sants and devotees,who had been in close association with him, shared their sentiments to the audience.
We pray to Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa to bestow his divine blessings and eternal happiness upon Sadguru Shree Akhileshwardasji Swami.
