• At 1.00 p.m. Swamishri departed from Mumbai and arrived at Rajkot airport at 2.57 p.m. By the time Swamishri reached the mandir it was 3.35 p.m. More than 400 devotees had been waiting in the hot afternoon sun for Swamishri’s darshan. Though it was late Swamishri addressed the devotees saying,"... We are late. And when it’s late one thinks when will (Swami) come? Though one feels that one has missed some work at home because of the delay still one has got the opportunity of God’s darshan, the darshan of the mandir’s flag, kalash and all these sadhus and devotees assembled here. So the delay here (in the mandir) is for your good because it is for your moksha. Otherwise, for infinite births you have been late and delayed! Because as long as you had not met God and His holy sadhu, you were late..."

• When Swamishri was asked to write the essence of Vachanamrutam on a large sized replica of the Vachanamrutam, he wrote, "To realise Ekantik dharma, become brahmaroop and offer bhakti to Shriji Maharaj."

• Swamishri arrived at Visavadar at 10.00 am. from Junagadh and inaugurated the newly constructed Swaminarayan mandir in the town of Visavadar. 3,500 devotees and well wishers were present during the murti pratishtha and assembly. After having lunch Swamishri returned to Junagadh at 1.50 p.m.

• God says to Naradji, "To my mind there is no one greater than the sant (holy sadhu)." But why is the sant the greatest? Because he communicates the true glory of God to man and inspires profound faith for Him. .
