On Sunday, January 13th, 2018, disciples gathered at Shree Swaminarayan Temple - Secaucus, New Jersey to celebrate Makar Sankranti, also known as Uttrayan, which marks the end of the Dhanurmaas period. All throughout Dhanurmaas, disciples brought thaal in the mornings for the Lord to celebrate the time the Lord attended school. As part of the program disciples listened to the divine blessings of Acharya Swamishree and performed kirtan bhakti and utsav. The event concluded with sandhya aarti and niyams.
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.
