The consecration ceremony of the newly constructed Swaminarayan Temple in Kaliberi Sursagar was celebrated with great pomp. Yesterday, Guru Mahant Swami Maharaj himself expressed his desire to worship and honour every artisan who contributed to the temple’s construction.
As per Swamiji’s instructions, a special gathering was held today at 12:30 pm solely to honour the artisans. In the presence of Guruji himself, all the artisans were given a royal honour. Each artisan was called to the stage. First, they were honoured with garlands.
After that, they were worshipped by tying a turban and applying a tilak. The Sadguru saints covered them with robes and offered sweets. Mahant Swami Maharaj blessed everyone. All the workers took photos with the artisan and honoured him. Artisan Uday Singh said, “This is an unforgettable event in my life. Who can give us such an honour? Today we are fulfilled.”
Mahant Swamiji Maharaj said in his blessings, “You are not small. No matter what work you do, because you worked here in the temple, you have all become great devotees, you have become free from all the letters. All of you will become solitary devotees. Even if I prostrate myself before all of you, it would be less.”
