Waits For Darshan

• 19 May 2008, Tuesday, Sarangpur
  Every night when Swamishri retires to bed sadhus come for his darshan. Tonight, Swamishri was a little early. The sadhus were singing the ritual chesta in the assembly hall, a little distance away. On seeing only a few sadhus outside Swamishri enquired whether everyone was late. The attendant sadhus replied that everyone was singing the chesta and that they would come shortly. So Swamishri sat patiently waiting on his bed. Shortly, when all the sadhus arrived Swamishri folded his palms and bid ‘Jai Swaminarayan’ to all. Swamishri waited to fulfil everyone’s wish for darshan and furthermore, he, too, wished to have darshan of the sadhus. Such is the glory he has for all.
  

To please Bhagwan Swaminarayan and guru Pramukh Swami Maharaj children, youths and senior devotees perform austerities, pilgrimages and other devotional means. The spiritual endeavours performed by devotees during Swamishri’s visit to the local centres are congratulatory and worthy of recognition. They also reflect Swamishri’s divinity for inspiring such spiritual efforts in children, teenagers and devotees.
