Saint Diksha

One of the most prominent features of Shree Harikrishna Maharaj Mahotsav is the Diksha Mahotsav. Seekers in the holy shelter and guidance of pious saints renounce the materialistic world forever. He stars new highly sacrificed life for the sake of self-salvation and betterment of world whole. This Maha-diksha is as a new birth for the seekers with new life, aim, atmosphere and even new name.

In the tradition of Vedic Sampraday, Acharya of the Sampraday bestows the Diksha. Prabodhini Ekadashi is the day on which Bhagawan Shree Swaminarayan while His human incarnation Has accepted the Diksha from Sadguru Shree Ramanad Swami. On this devout day of Ekadashi the Diksha Mahotsav for the 29 seekers including the 13 seekers from Gurukul Rajkot accepted the Maha-Diksha from PPDD Acharya Maharajshree Rakeshprasadji Maharaj in the ‘Pavitrananad Swami Sabha-Mandap’ in the holy presence of many Sadgurus. After performing the Vedic ritual and essential Poojan Pujya Maharajshree allotted Yagnopavit (Janoi), Rosary and bestowed the Guru-Mantra to all seekers. Their new names were declared by Chairman Pujya Nautamprakashdasji Swami. Sadguru Mahant Swami Shree Devkrishnadasji Swami recommended the new Paramhans (Saints) first to obey the all Agnya givan by Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan and then inspire other to do so. Motivate other to do Bhajan by your own deeds. The vast Sabha-Mandap was fully crowded by saints and devotees to have the Darshan of this pious occasion of Dikhs-Mahotsav. 29 Seekers from Vadatal, Gadhada, Kundal, Dakor, Tatam, Mahuva, Ladavi and Rajkot accepted the Maha-Diksha. In the end Pujya Maharajshree blessed all new saints for pious, spiritual and inspiring life. 

In the assembly at main Sabha-Mandap Shastri Shree Premswarupdasji Swami and Pujya Purani Shree Mohanprasaddasji Swami (Dhoraji) delivered the occasional speech.
