                    April 
                    2006 (V.S. 2062, Vaishakh sud 3) Sunday, 
                    Junagad This morning, from 9.00 am to 12 noon, the mandir prasad pravesh 
                    rituals were performed beneath the mandir dome by Dr Swami.
 In the evening assembly Swamishri and senior sadhus honoured 
                    all those who had helped in the mandir project. More than 
                    960,000 man-hours of voluntary of effort had gone into the 
                    mandir construction project. Mahamandaleshwar Pujya Bharati 
                    Bapu and Shri Shernath Bapu of Nath Sampraday also presided 
                    over the assembly.
 Pujya Bharati Bapu said, “Pramukh Swami is the pride 
                    of the world and the entire sadhu samaj. I have been to the 
                    Sanstha’s mandirs in London, America and others. I feel 
                    they are the descension of God’s infinite powers. Today 
                    Girnar is also fortunate because a mandir has been built in 
                    its lap. It is a mandir the entire sadhu samaj and the country 
                    can be proud of. Our country is fortunate that from time to 
                    time great sadhus are born. Today, when people have become 
                    slaves to addictions, when destruction is ongoing, Pramukh 
                    Swami is a ray of hope. Pramukh Swami has spread the glory 
                    of Sanatan Dharma.”
 The mandir was built through Swamishri’s inspiration 
                    and guidance and through the efforts of Akshaymuni Swami, 
                    Sanjay Parikh and members of the BAPS Planning Cell. The efforts 
                    of the residing kothari, Dharmakirti Swami, Uttamcharan Swami 
                    and sadhus of Junagadh are laudable.
