The long-cherished dream of countless devotees came to fruition as Vadtal Dham Shree Swaminarayan Temple in Toronto celebrated its Murti Pratishtha Mahotsav from June 4th to 8th. After many years of searching for a suitable location, the Toronto satsang mandal now has a permanent spiritual home.
The auspicious five-day festival was graced by the presence of the entire Dharmakul Parivar. The Shreemad Bhagwat Katha was recited by Pujya Kothari Swami Shree Ghanshyamvallabhdasji (Gadhada) over the 5 day period.
The grand mahotsav reached its pinnacle on Sunday, June 6th, when, with the blessings and agyna of Param Pujya Dharma Dhurandhar 1008 Acharya Shree Ajendraprasadji Maharaj, Param Pujya 108 Bhavi Acharya Shree Nrigendraprasadji Maharaj performed the murti pratishtha rituals and installed the divine murti of Shree Ghanshyam Maharaj. This pratishtha as a testament to the original siddhant established by Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan.
The mandir continues to hold satsang sabha every Saturday along with the celebration of various festivals throughout the year.
