Gurumaharaj’s Divine Visit | Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul International School

A Grand Welcome Befitting a Spiritual Master
20th July 2025

The dawn of 20th July 2025 marked an extraordinary and spiritually uplifting chapter in the history of Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul International School, Gulbarga. After a wait of eight long years, the sacred soil of Gulbarga Gurukul was once again blessed by the divine footsteps of Param Pujya Gurumaharaj. His visit wasn’t just an event — it was a wave of spiritual rejuvenation, emotional connection, and reaffirmation of Gurukul’s timeless mission of nurturing character through value-based education.

The entire campus, right from the youngest Gurukulites in LKG to the senior-most teachers and staff, vibrated with anticipation and joy. Weeks of preparation came alive on this sacred morning as every heart beat with devotion, and every hand folded in reverence to welcome the spiritual master who embodies purity, wisdom, and compassion.

The day began with the Pilot students and the traditional Gurukul Band moving in disciplined synchrony to escort Gurumaharaj from the Ashram premises to the heart of the campus — the Prayer Hall. This symbolic march wasn’t just ceremonial; it represented the disciplined life that Gurukul instills in its students — one of respect, order, and unwavering devotion.

As Gurumaharaj’s palkhi approached the Prayer Hall entrance, students lined both sides of the red carpet, their faces beaming with pure joy and eyes moist with devotion. From the terraces and balconies above, a soft shower of fragrant petals descended like blessings from the heavens. The sound of Vedic chants, rhythmic drumbeats, and sacred bhajans created an environment that transcended the ordinary and brought every soul present into a shared space of divine connection.
Jay Swaminarayan!
