Vasant Panchami is an important festival especially for our Sampraday
and for the Gurukul family.Bhagawan Shree Swaminarayan wrote the code
of conduct – Shikshapatri with utmost compassion for all living beings
of the universe on this auspicious day at Vadatal. Sadguru
Nishkulanand Swami is one of the great saints and poet of the
Sampraday. A great scripture Bhaktachinatamani, whose 175th year is
being celebrated, is written by him. Vasant Panchami is the birthday
of Sadguru Shree Nishkulanad Swami. A great saint of Sampraday Sadguru
Shastriji Maharaj Shree Dharmajivandasji Swami restarted the ancient
Gurukul tradition in modern form and bestowed the Sampraday with
preservation and propagation of unique and elemental principals of
Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan. Vasant Panchami is the beginning of the
season of Spring. |
