Warm Spring
sunshine bathed the courtyard of the Mandir as the over 2,500
participants of the Annual Sponsored Walk gathered before Swamishri,
absorbing his blessings and words of encouragement. Having contacted
over 47,000 sponsors, 2,560 registered walkers spanning the
ages of between 4 to 94 contributed towards a record-breaking
year in the presence of Swamishri, flooding Harrow Road in a
sea of blue shirts. Swamishri graced the route with his divine
presence, offering darshan from his car. Ecstatic kishores performed
dandvats on the pavements as a token of their devotion. The
sadhus offered their support as they embarked on the demanding
journey, accompanied by balaks, kishores and yuvaks. Groups
of devotees, chanting the Swaminarayan mantra walked with pride
and motivation, spreading bliss to the entire community. The
evening assembly illustrated a montage of record-breaking achievements.
Swamishri touched on the great service performed by young and
old alike.
