Akhand Dhun 2026
Annual Prayers for Success, Peace and Harmony

On Sunday 5 April, devotees from across the UK gathered at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Wellingborough, for the annual Akhand Dhun — a spiritually uplifting day of continuous prayer offered for success, peace, and harmony throughout the world.

The day commenced in the early hours with youths performing a mahapuja at 5.00am, inspired by the spiritual legacy of Brahmaswarup Yogiji Maharaj, before devotees arrived steadily from 7.00am to join the dhun.

Throughout the day, the mandir resonated with the rhythmic chanting of the Swaminarayan Mahamantra, as devotees offered prayers and performed pradakshinas at the Akshar Deri. Pujya Swamis joined devotees throughout the day.

This year's Akhand Dhun carried special significance as our community prepares to welcome His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj to the UK later this year, guided by the year's theme, 'Satsangnu Vatavaran Vadharvu', to nurture the spiritual environment around us.

A truly blessed and memorable day.

Vasant Panchmi Celebrations

On Saturday 24 January, devotees gathered to celebrate the auspicious occasion of Vasant Panchmi and the birth anniversary of Brahmaswarup Shastriji Maharaj at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Wellingborough.

The sabha reflected on Shastriji Maharaj’s unwavering conviction in Akshar-Purushottam Upasana, his courage in establishing mandirs rooted in this siddhant, and his lifelong endurance in the face of opposition — all for the sake of Akshar-Purushottam.

Devotees also drew inspiration from the devoted lives of his haribhaktas, including Nirgun Swami, Mahapurush Swami, Maganbhai, and Harmanbhai, whose loyalty, sacrifice, and steadfast faith strengthened and supported this divine mission.

Through reflections and heartfelt tributes, the celebration left everyone inspired by Shastriji Maharaj’s spiritual vision, resilience, and profound bhakti — with a renewed resolve to uphold his upasana and live with the same faith and dedication.
