On Friday, September 25th, 2009, a group of twenty students and their professors from St. Peter's College (located in Jersey City, New Jersey) visited Shree Swaminarayan Temple New Jersey for a seminar on the Swaminarayan religion. These students and professors belong to the theology department of the college, and the students were all part of a religion class taught by the professors.
During the seminar, a disciple gave a lecture on the Swaminarayan religion via a slide show presentation. In addition, the students and professors were able to view the documentary on Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa, which was released during the auspicious celebrations of the Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Shatabdi Mahotsav (Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Centenary). After the slide show and documentary presentations, the students and professors were free to ask questions and tour the temple.
