22 Apr 2002 to 24 Apr 2002

While the sadhus and sadhaks sang 'Aje Yagnapurushne dwar nobat vage re lol�' Swamishri raised his hands and to the joy of everyone performed a brief dance

Swamishri responds when Raghu Bharwad dances and sings 'Aje Yagnapurushne dwar nobat vage re lol�' in the pradakshina

Swamishri swayed with Raghu Bharwad and broke into a brief dance on the spot

Swamishri happily reponds to Suresh's effort in dancing and singing 'Aje Yagnapurushne dwar nobat vage re lol�'

Swamishri blesses Suresh

At the Yagnapurush Smruti Mandir Swamishri raises his hands in joy when the verse 'Aje Yagnapurushne dwar nobat vage re lol�'

... then plays the kartal in response to the kartal played by Ghanshyamcharan Swami

As the chorus 'Aje Yagnapurushne dwar nobat vage re lol�' rises to a crescendo Swamishri then dances and plays the kartal with Ghanshyamcharan Swami

The sadhus and sadhaks are overwhelmed with joy at the divine moments with Swamishri

During his puja Swamishri claps and responds happily to the verse 'Aje Yagnapurushne dwar nobat vage re lol�' sung by sadhus ...

... even while reading the Shikshapatri his joy is uncontained

... even while reading the Shikshapatri his joy is uncontained ...

... then Swamishri starts clapping his hands ...

... then Swamishri plays the kartal

... and finally, Swamishri spontaneously dances elegantly and joyously to the rapturous singing of 'Aje Yagnapurushne dwar nobat vage re lol�'

Swamishri dances like an expert performing a variety of movements, thus expressing his exuberant devotion to Guru Shastriji Maharaj

... in an ecstatic devotional mood during the dance

Shri Harikrishna Maharaj

Swamishri performs the murti pratishtha ritual arti of murtis for Talda and Badhada villages. The devotees also perform the ritual arti

Swamishri blesses the assembly

On stage, Swamishri attentively listens to the devotees

Today, Thakorji was adorned in traditional shepherd's attire. Correspondingly, Raghu Bharvad - with a long wooden shepherd's staff in hand - was present as Swamishri came for the darshan of Harikrishna Maharaj. Raghu held out the staff and said: "Today I have come to give this staff as a gift to Harikrishna Maharaj."

Swamishri: [At the time of your passing away,] Harikrishna Maharaj will come with this staff to take you to Akshardham.

Swamishri (continued): In Gadhada, Shriji Maharaj had made a magnificent gateway to the mandir. Once, a shepherd like you was passing by and saw the gate. 'Oh! What a grand gate!' he marveled. He was so awestruck by the gate that [when he was about to die,] Shriji Maharaj came with the gate to take him to Akshardham. In the same way, Shriji Maharaj will come for you.

22 to 24 April 2002, Sarangpur -
