The second day of the Shatabdi Mahotsav started once again with parayans and a swagat parade where Swamibapa Pipe Band led His Divine Holiness Acharya Swamishree into the sabha mandap.
Once inside the temple, Sadguru Shree Jitendrapriyadasji Swami began the Holy Scripture recital of “Bapashree Ni Vaato.” Acharya Swamishree then gave His divine blessings to all those who had gathered. Afterwards, Acharya Swamishree, sants, and disciples performed the inauguration ceremony of the Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Documentary. The inauguration of the documentary ended the morning program, and Acharya Swamishree went outside to consecrate the prasad for the afternoon.
That evening, His Divine Holiness Acharya Swamishree launched the Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Shatabdi Mahotsav website – www.SwaminarayanGadi.com/Shatabdi. Eminent sants and young disciples then presented a wonderful program of devotional dances. Dances included prathnas, a bhangra, and a rope raas. There was also an enjoyable comedy skit performed by one of the young disciples. Acharya Swamishree, the sants, and all of the disciples enjoyed the night program, and the participants had truly pleased Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa and Acharya Swamishree.
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.
