Monday 18 October 2021, a large group of Sants and disciples from Kutch and beyond reached the coastal village of Mandvi.
Acharya Swamiji Maharaj and senior Sants made a decision that the divine ashes of Ved Ratna Acharya Swamishree Maharaj should be ceremonially scattered at the exact places where in 1979, the sacred ashes of Gurudev Swamibapa were scattered.
Accordingly, during the morning of Monday 18 October 2021, a large group of Sants and disciples from Kutch and beyond reached the coastal village of Mandvi. Here, a procession was held from the Mithi Virdi to the beach, where an assembly was held and then, Acharya Swamiji Maharaj immersed the divine ashes of Ved Ratna Acharya Swamishree Maharaj into the Arabian Sea. By this, innumerable souls will be bestowed with the divine bliss of Lord Shree Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa.
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.
