Blessing the gathering, Mahant Swami Maharaj said, “This Akshar Deri is a profoundly sacred place where everyone’s wishes are fulfilled. Sincere prayers are fulfilled by devoutly offering mahapuja, pradakshinas and dhun. All who come here for darshan will experience inner peace.” He also emphasized, “All the Gunatit gurus have always put God at the forefront and led all towards God.
