During the evening of Thursday 8 April, Acharya Swamiji Maharaj performed poojan to Jeevanpran Shree Abji Bapashree as this was the exact day when, in 1927 AD, Sadguru Shree Ishwarcharandasji Swamibapa composed and sang the aarti dedicated to Jeevanpran Bapashree. This aarti was first performed to Jeevanpran Shree Abji Bapashree in Karachi, exactly 94 years ago. Accepting the prayers of loving disciples, Sadguru Shree Ishwarcharandasji Swamibapa offered golden garments and a golden pagh to Bapashree. Adorning such attire, Bapashree presided upon a chair and gave darshan. Just then, Sadguru Shree Ishwarcharandasji Swamibapa spontaneously composed the aarti describing that divine darshan.
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.
