Almighty Supreme Bhagvan Shree Swaminarayan incarneted Himself on the earth in a form of Human being, to emancipate human from wandering through ages and liberate from the vicious cycle of life and death. Among them he established first ever temple of Shree Swaminarayan at Ahmedabad and gave us Shree Narnarayan dev on Feb.24 1822. He ordained 500 Saints (Swamis) who were most Demoted, dedicat and
learned, each with different talent, and ordered them to write shastras depicting His teachings, message and preachings. Ahmedabad and Vadtal (His legal, spritual and administrative heads of the entire sampradaya) (Shikshapatri verse 3) Sadguru Shree Anandanand Swami (who was supposed to be the Maharaja of Bharatpur before he renounced himself to the Bhagvan Swaminarayan and was ordained at Anandanand Swami) was entrusted job to built first ever Temple of Swaminarayan Sampradaya in the entire universe. When completed, Bhagvan Swaminarayan installed the murtis(idiols) of Shri Narnarayan Dev and proclaimed that Shri Narnarayan Dev is none else but HimSelf (Vachanamrut Jetalpur 5 Version 273 Vachanamrut) He also ordered to each & every Satsangis to worship the murti of Shri Narnarayan Dev every Morning during pooja (Vachanamrut Gadhada pratham 48 Vachanamrut 273 Version) some 192 years have passed, the shrine needed repairs periodically. This noble work, under the instruction of H.H.Mota Maharajshri and cooperation of the then commite members began in the tenure of Mahanthship of Sadguru P.P.Swami, was carried forward by Sadguru Mahanth Swami Nirgundasji and later by Sadguru Mahanth Swami Narayanswaroopdasji. Finally His Holiness Acharya Maharaj Shree Koshlendraprasadji wanted to speed up the work. He instructed the present Mahanth Swami Sadguru Shastri Harikrishnadasji to finalise the job, which by the handsome donations from the satsangi donors and under the useful guidance of our committe members is now on the verge of Completion. The great and once in the life time event is in the offing. We heartly invite you (your family & friends too !) to great this divine celebration.
