Pushpadolotsav, also known as Fuldol, celebrates the arrival of spring. The festival is celebrated on Fagun Vad 1, the day after Holi. Traditionally a murti of Bhagwan is placed on a swing beautifully decorated with flowers. Devotees both serve and offer their sincere devotion to Bhagwan by gently setting the swing in motion, experiencing His darshan in this unique way. The changing season, new blooms, and vibrant colors of spring are celebrated by Hindus across the world. Pushpadolotsav also marks the birth of Bhagatji Maharaj, the second spiritual successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan.

Join us as we celebrate the birth anniversary of Bhagatji Maharaj and the Pushpadolotsav festival on Sunday, March 08, 2020 from 3:30pm onwards.

The 14th annual BAPS Women’s Conference.

Chaitra Sud Naum is celebrated as Shri Swaminarayan Jayanti and Shri Ram Navmi, celebrating the birth of Bhagwan Swaminarayan and Shri Ram, by millions of Hindus worldwide. BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Atlanta cordially invites you with family and friends to celebrate the auspicious festival of Shri Swaminarayan Jayanti and Shri Ram Navmi on Sunday, April 5, 2020 from 3:30 pm onwards

Yogiji Maharaj, the fourth spiritual successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, was born in Dhari in 1892. He seemed like a simple sadhu but his inner simplicity was vast. His faith and spirituality led the philosophy of Akshar Purushottam beyond India, to various corners of the globe. Yogiji Maharaj is the visionary, inspirer, and initiator of the organization’s weekly children and youth activities. His positive attitude and engaging smile transformed the hearts of thousands of people.

The birth celebrations of Yogiji Maharaj will take place on May 17, 2020 from 03:30 pm onwards.

Guru Purnima is celebrated on Ashadh Sud Poonam - the day of the full moon in the month of Ashadh. On this day, Hindus remember Ved Vyas, the eternal guru of Hindu Sanatan Dharma, as he classified the 4 Vedas (Rig, Yajur, Sama, and Atharva) and wrote the Mahabharata and 18 Puranas. Guru, a Sanskrit word, comes from the root words ‘gu’ meaning darkness or ignorance, and ‘ru’ meaning remover of that darkness. A guru is one who removes our darkness in the form of ignorance, helps us overcome maya, and guides us on the path to realizing Bhagwan. Join us in offering guru bhakti, our devotion, and earnest prayers, to His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj, with bhajans, video presentations and spiritual discourses by swamis and youth on Sunday, July 5, 2020 from 3:30 pm onwards.

Shri Krishna, one of the incarnations of Vishnu Bhagwan, was born over 5,000 years ago on Shravan Vad 8. Shri Krishna incarnated on this Earth to kill the evil Kansa and give the discourses of the Gita to Arjun. BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Atlanta will celebrate Janmashtami, to recall Shri Krishna’s lila and the invaluable life lessons he taught, on Saturday, August 09, 2020 from 3:30 pm onwards.

Attracted by  the spiritual charisma and selfless love of Brahmaswarup Yogiji Maharaj, he accepted monastic initiation in 1961 and was named Keshavjivandas Swami. Having served Yogiji Maharaj with all his heart, he was appointed as ‘mahant’, the head, of BAPS Mandir in Mumbai. Over time, he became fondly known as Mahant Swami.

After Yogiji Maharaj’s passing in 1971, Mahant Swami Maharaj continued to serve devoutly, under the guruship of Brahmaswarup Pramukh Swami Maharaj, travelling relentlessly throughout the world to inspire countless individuals through his profound and thought-provoking spiritual discourses. He has also offered his deep insight and guidance in many social and spiritual activities of the BAPS.

On 20 July 2012, in the presence of senior sadhus in Ahmedabad, Pramukh Swami Maharaj revealed Mahant Swami as his spiritual successor. Following the earthly departure of Pramukh Swami Maharaj on 13 August 2016, Mahant Swami became the sixth guru in the Gunatit Guru Parampara of Bhagwan Swaminarayan.  Mahant Swami Maharaj now presides as the guru and spiritual guide of countless devotees and helms the worldwide spiritual and humanitarian activities of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha.

Join us to celebrate His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj’s birthday on Saturday, September 06, 2020 from 3:30pm onwards.

His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj’s Janma Jayanti Tithi Sabha will be celebrated on Friday, September 11, 2020 from 7:00 pm onwards

Sharad Purnimais celebrated on the full moon day, in the month of Aso, every year. On this day, Gunatitanand Swami was born in Bhadra. On many occasions, Bhagwan Swaminarayan revealed Gunatitanand Swami as an incarnate of Aksharbrahma and first of the 'Gunatit' Guru Parampara. Aksharbrahma Gunatitanand Swami helped countless individuals on the path to God-realization and spirituality. A special event rejoicing the life of Aksharbrahma Gunatitanand Swami and understanding the importance of Aksharbrahma on path of spirituality, will be celebrated on Saturday, November 01, 2020 from 3:30 pm onwards.

Diwali, the festival of lights, one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar is celebrated with great devotion and splendor every year. On this festive occasion, BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir - Toronto cordially invites you, your family and friends to celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights. Open to one and all, the celebration is an opportunity to enjoy the spectacular fireworks, traditions, and rich culture of the Hindu faith.

The day following Diwali is the beginning of the Hindu New Year. The Hindu New Year is traditionally celebrated with the Annakut – literally meaning, a mountain of food. Every year over a thousand unique thals (vegetarian delicacies) are devotionally prepared by devotees and are offered in devotional gratitude for the past year and to seek blessings for the New Year ahead. BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir - Toronto cordially invites you for darshan and prasad of the Grand Annakut with family and friends.

Pramukh Swami Maharaj was Bhagwan Swaminarayan’s fifth spiritual successor. He led by example; his humility, faith in Bhagwan Swaminarayan, and compassion inspired millions of devotees and over a thousand sadhus to maintain moral and spiritual lifestyles. He inspired hundreds of thousands to lead lives grounded in spirituality and selfless service. He revealed Mahant Swami Maharaj as his spiritual successor, in whom we can see Pramukh Swami Maharaj today.

Join us as we express our gratitude to Brahmaswarup Pramukh Swami Maharaj, on his birthday, on Sunday, December 20, 2020 from 3:30 pm onwards.
