Narrate the Prasang, “Bhagwan Swaminarayan Initiates 18 Devotees”




  • Once, before leaving Bhadra, Maharaj wrote a letter to eighteen householder devotees,

  • Maharaj wrote, “On reading this letter, renounce your homes, go to Jetalpur and take initiation from Ramdas Swami.

  • After some days, the group of the newly initiated paramhansas arrived with Ramdas Swami in Bhuj. Maharaj prostrated before them and went half way to receive them. 

  • He ordered them to remove the garbs of a renunciant and put on the clothes of a householder. 

  • But, Kalyanbhai, a youth from the village Kadu had read the word ‘etc.’ in Maharaj’s letter and had thought that this referred to him and he too was to follow the command. So he was named Adbhutanand Swami by Maharaj and given permission to stay.

Narrate the Prasang, “Amba Sheth’s fall from Satsang” and the importance of the prasang.

  • Shri Hari came to the room where the murti of Vasudev Narayan had been installed. Here, Laduba, Jivuba and other women devotees were listening to katha.

  • At that time, Adiba came to Maharaj and stopped before him. Maharaj smiled at her and placed his hand on her shoulder for support while descending two steps. Adiba experienced overwhelming joy at Shriji Maharaj’s touch.

  • At the same time, when Amba Sheth of Gadhadi saw Shriji Maharaj resting his hand on Adiba’s shoulder he froze in his step at the entrance gate of Dada Khachar’s darbar. Amba Sheth became upset.

  • Amba Sheth became entangled in a web of manushyabhav. He immediately turned around from the entrance to make an exit, and briskly took the road back to Gadhadi. Shri Hari saw him leave and smiled briefly. He would soon bring Amba Sheth back into Satsang.
