In today’s fast-paced world, we all seek peace, love, and strength. Satsang gatherings in God’s presence bring immeasurable energy. Bhagwan Swaminarayan taught us how simple living, daily remembrance of God, and temple connection give our lives energy, purpose, and protection. Today, as part of our 50th Mandir Patotsav, Sahajanand Sahayate, we invite all of you to not miss out on this unique opportunity of having our Harikrishna Maharaj & Esteemed Santo visit your homes.
