Morning Pooja Darshan — A Divine Beginning in the Presence of Param Pujya Gurumaharaj
The early hours of 21st July 2025 at Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul, Gulbarga, were unlike any other. The stillness of dawn was filled with sacred energy as students gathered silently, waiting with folded hands and reverent hearts to witness a soul-purifying moment — the Morning Pooja of Param Pujya Gurumaharaj.

As the sun slowly rose, casting a golden hue across the Gurukul campus, Gurumaharaj sat in deep devotion, performing His nitya pooja with unwavering focus and spiritual discipline — a timeless image of a true Ekantik Sant immersed in divine consciousness. The scent of incense lingered in the air, the rhythmic chants created an atmosphere of serenity, and the divine aura surrounding Gurumaharaj made the space feel like a living temple.

The students, seated respectfully at a distance, observed in pin-drop silence. For many, it was their first glimpse of what true devotion looks like — performed not for display, but as an intimate offering to Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Every movement, every mantra, every mudra performed by Gurumaharaj seemed to carry the weight of centuries of tradition and the power of divine love.

This sacred darshan was more than just a visual blessing — it was a lesson in itself. The students were awestruck by the simplicity and purity of the ritual, learning that spirituality is not about grand gestures but about sincerity, regularity, and a heart fully surrendered to God.

After completing His pooja, Param Pujya Gurumaharaj gently looked up, acknowledging the students with a warm, compassionate smile — a smile that radiated peace, reassurance, and unconditional love. As He showered His blessings upon them, the students bowed their heads in gratitude, deeply touched by the privilege of witnessing such a rare and sanctified moment.

This Morning Pooja Darshan became an unforgettable spiritual experience for every Gurukulite present. It planted the seeds of inner devotion and reverence in their hearts — a silent yet powerful message that would inspire them to cultivate their own personal connection with God through daily prayer and self-discipline.

In that quiet hour of the morning, a divine transmission took place — not through speeches, but through silent observation, heartfelt darshan, and the living example of Param Pujya Gurumaharaj.
Jay Swaminarayan!
