| Bhagwati 
		Diksha
 During a grand yagna in 1883, Acharya Viharilalji Maharaj initiated 
		Dungar Bhakta into the saffron order. He was then renamed as Swami 
		Yagnapurushdas. On returning to Surat, he remained in the personal 
		service of his guru. Whenever time permitted he also concentrated 
		on his scriptural and Sanskrit studies. Soon, he enthusiastically 
		participated in the various services and administrative duties 
		of the Swaminarayan mandir.
