Swami Shri Narayanswarupdasji:

In the year V. S. 2006, Shastriji Maharaj appointed Shastri Narayanswarupdasji as the administrative Head of the sanstha (Bochasanvasi Shri Aksharpurushottam Sanstha). All the devotees were asked to work under his orders and guidance. He was only 28 years old at the time. Since then, Shastri Narayanswarupdasji has been known by the name of 'Pramukh Swami'.
Yogiji Maharaj, referring to this incident in his diary has written as follows : "Shastriji Maharaj desired that I should appoint only him as President of the sanstha, and he was so appointed at a meeting in Ahmedabad. I was then sitting beside Shastriji Maharaj, who told me : 'Put your hand on his head and bless him so that he acquires all the virtues and the sanctity that you have.' So I put my hand on his head, whereupon Shastriji Maharaj said : 'Since you and I are the same, it is like my putting my own hand on his head.' In this way, Swamiji asked me to bless him, and when I did so, he became very happy."
Since then, in accordance with the wishes of Yogiji Maharaj, Pramukh Swami has been working and continues to work day and night to further the cause of our institution and fellowship. Many sadhus and devotees celebrated the forty-eighth birthday of Shri Pramukh Swami Maharaj in Bombay. On this occasion Yogiji Maharaj had said : "Shastriji Maharaj had been highly pleased with him ever since his younger days and appointed him president. How fast and how admirably he has developed the order and the fellowship ! All should obey him implicitly. Pramukh Swami is the manifestation (Swarupa) of Shastriji Maharaj. The identity between these two forms is complete. We should all develop the the same divine knowledge (Divyabhav). Seven hundred saints will be initiated and will attain perfection. This task and mission will be fulfilled by Pramukh Swami." Yogiji Maharaj foretold a glorious career of work and fulfilment for Pramukh Swami Maharaj.
During his last illness Yogiji Maharaj had said : "Pramukh Swami is none other than me in another body. All of you will enjoy the bliss of God through him."
At present, our beloved Master-Guru is His Divine Holiness Swami Shri Narayanswarupdasji - Pramukh Swami Maharaj.
