The disciples of Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan residing in the United States eagerly anticipated the day His Divine Holiness Acharya Swamishree and eminent sants would arrive to the United States for their tenth consecutive vicharan of the country. Before they knew it, Acharya Swamishree and fourteen sants arrived on an Air India flight at New Jersey’s Newark International Airport on Friday, June 18th, 2010 early in the afternoon. The disciples’ hearts were filled with joy as Acharya Swamishree and sants walked through the terminal, and they greeted them with garlands and flowers while receiving their divine darshan.
Everyone then went to Shree Swaminarayan Temple New Jersey where Acharya Swamishree performed aarti to Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa and gave everyone His darshan. Acharya Swamishree and sants then rested after their long journey. In the evening, everyone gathered back for Sandhya aarti niyams, kirtan-bhakti, and katha.
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.
