The sacred Pallaki Yatra at Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul, Vijayawada, on Day 2 of Brahmotsav 2025, was a divine procession that filled the campus with spiritual fervor and joy. The beautifully adorned Pallaki, carrying the murti of Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan, was gracefully taken around the Gurukul premises, accompanied by melodious Swaminarayan dhun, vibrant kirtans, and the rhythmic beats of dhol and traditional instruments.

Led by revered Swamijis and saints, the yatra drew participation from students, staff, and devotees, all immersed in deep bhakti. With folded hands and glowing hearts, participants offered flowers, performed aarti, and chanted heartfelt prayers as they walked in unison, creating an atmosphere of divine energy. The sacred procession became not just a physical journey—but a path of faith, love, and inner transformation.

Following the uplifting Pallaki Yatra, the Abhishek of Ghanshyam Maharaj was performed with great devotion. The murti of Ghanshyam Maharaj was bathed in Panchamrut, Chandan, rose water, and a variety of fruit juices, symbolizing purity, love, and spiritual renewal.

These events are not just traditions—they are living expressions of Gurukul’s spiritual legacy, uniting generations through devotion, discipline, and a journey toward inner awakening.
