2006 (V.S. 2062, Vaishakh sud 3) Sunday,
Junagad
This morning, from 9.00 am to 12 noon, the mandir prasad pravesh
rituals were performed beneath the mandir dome by Dr Swami.
In the evening assembly Swamishri and senior sadhus honoured
all those who had helped in the mandir project. More than
960,000 man-hours of voluntary of effort had gone into the
mandir construction project. Mahamandaleshwar Pujya Bharati
Bapu and Shri Shernath Bapu of Nath Sampraday also presided
over the assembly.
Pujya Bharati Bapu said, “Pramukh Swami is the pride
of the world and the entire sadhu samaj. I have been to the
Sanstha’s mandirs in London, America and others. I feel
they are the descension of God’s infinite powers. Today
Girnar is also fortunate because a mandir has been built in
its lap. It is a mandir the entire sadhu samaj and the country
can be proud of. Our country is fortunate that from time to
time great sadhus are born. Today, when people have become
slaves to addictions, when destruction is ongoing, Pramukh
Swami is a ray of hope. Pramukh Swami has spread the glory
of Sanatan Dharma.”
The mandir was built through Swamishri’s inspiration
and guidance and through the efforts of Akshaymuni Swami,
Sanjay Parikh and members of the BAPS Planning Cell. The efforts
of the residing kothari, Dharmakirti Swami, Uttamcharan Swami
and sadhus of Junagadh are laudable.
