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

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.
