Neasden temple pays tribute to saint
THOUSANDS of followers last weekend attended celebrations of His Holiness Param Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s centennial birth anniversary at the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, London.
Visitors could perform abhishek (ceremonial bathing) of a special idol of HH Param Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj placed at the foot of the staircase leading up to the temple. It was under his leadership that the temple was conceived and built.
A special assembly within the temple hall included the singing of bhajans, dance performances and narrations in a tribute to the late saint. The celebrations were held in the presence of Anandswarupdas Swami, a senior saint visiting from India last weekend (27-28).
