Yogiji Maharaj, the fourth spiritual successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, was known for his patient and playful nature. He carried the philosophy of Akshar Purushottam out of India to Africa and London. He was a visionary, inspirer, and initiator of the organization’s weekly children and youth activities. His positive attitude and engaging smile captured the hearts of thousands of people. Chinmayananda Swami of the Chinmaya Mission used to say, “His face carried the anand, or the divine joy, expressed in the Upanishads.”
Yogiji Maharaj emphasized the importance of regular satsang for every age group. He initiated weekly Sunday sabha at every BAPS mandir and center. He also began the bal, kishore, and yuvak mandals that offered special assemblies for youths.
