Dignitaries and devotees from across North America travelled to Newark Airport last month to welcome Acharya Shree Jitendriyapriyadasji Swamiji Maharaj of Maninagar, Gujarat, India.
The religious leader was beginning his inaugural visit to the United States and Canada since he became the spiritual leader of Maninagar Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan. He was accompanied by his team of 16 Eminent Sants, also known as monks.
Acharya Swamiji and his Sants are on a seven-week religious tour of the U.S. and Canada, visiting all the chapters of Shree Swaminarayan Siddhant Sajivan Mandal USA, a non-profit religious organization.
