    Swamishri performed his morning puja in the mandir hall. A one-day satsang shibir was held for local and regional devotees. In the afternoon at 5.40 p.m. Swamishri visited Akshardham.
    Then Swamishri blessed the evening Sunday satsang assembly, “When Bhagwan Rama and Krishna came on earth people were unaware of their glory. Hanumanji introduced Tulsidas to Rama’s glory. Veda Vyasa wrote the Shrimad Bhagvat scripture on Naradji’s instructions and experienced inner peace. The spiritual knowledge of Akshar-Purushottam is clearly shown in the Vachanamrut. But people think that it is new. One also finds it in the Vedas, Upanishads and Gita.”

     Thinking of others

  • 20 February 2009, New Delhi
    Swamishri sat in his chair to chant the Swaminarayan dhun. An attendant sadhu suggested that the murti of Shri Harikrishna Maharaj be placed before him for darshan. Swamishri said, “Keep him on one side.”
    The attendant sadhu explained, “By so doing your neck will become stiff on having the darshan of Thakorji from one side.”
    “But then everyone will not be able to have darshan (if he is kept in front of me),” Swamishri reasoned. All realized that Swamishri was thinking of everyone’s arrangement for darshan. Finally, he himself suggested that Thakorji be placed by the wall opposite to him. This solved the problem.
    Swamishri remained engaged in chanting dhun for three hours, from 11.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m.
