The Toronto BAPS celebrated the Fuldol Utsav, people partaking in the festivities. A picturesque backdrop along with pots (kalash) over flowing with rich color adorned the murtis of Shreeji Maharaj and Gunatitanand Swami. The program was an exquisite blend of kirtans and pravachans that illustrated the richness of the adhyatmic (spiritual) height attained by Bhagatji Maharaj. Another pravachan Seva no Adarsh highlighted the uniqueness of Seva performed by Bhagatji Maharaj to earn Akshar Gnan.
The highlights of the crowning address by Pujya Gnanpriya Swami included the beginnings of the celebrations of Fuldol. It was Lord Swaminarayan who established the traditions of Utsavs intertwined with spirituality. In the Swaminarayan Sampraday, this day is of historical significance as it was on this day, Shreeji Maharaj unraveled the true Sadguru and identified Gunatitanand Swami as His eternal abode.
The Sabha hall became spiritually charged when Pujya Gnanpriya Swami led the chorus singing of the traditional Fagwa. In closing, he invited the audience to endeavor to imbibe the ideals of Bhagatji Maharaj in pleasing the Satpurush. The video presentation provided the highlights of Fuldol Utsav in Sarangpur. The jovial murti of Swamishri spraying color left the audience with an ardent desire to be soaked in the true colors of Bhakti.
