	Sadguru Shastriji Maharaj Shree Dharmajivandasji Swami re-established the Gurukul tradition of Indian culture as per the command of Bhagawan Shree Swaminarayan for the propagation of Sadvidya. In Ahmedabad Pujya Shastriji Maharaj founded the Gurukul especially for the youth. Since the establishment various kinds of spiritual, social and educational activities are conducted under the guidance of Sadguru Purani Shree Balkrishnadasji Swami. With the flow of time number of students and devotees participating in various activities increased widely. The prayer hall constructed was too small to conduct various spiritual, social events and celebrations. Moreover it was damaged deeply with earthquake 2001. In spite of continuous consideration and restoration, construction of new and enormous prayer hall was indeed required.
