Feb 11 2006 - After Swamishri's walk, the fruit dish was being prepared for Swami. All Sadhaks were little worried/down about going early to Sarangpur. So like about 3 min before taking Bapa's fruit dish, I thought of a little plan. I thought we should put two slips of paper infront of the fruit dish for Bapa to pick from. On the outside of the slips it said, 'Choose 1' & 'Choose 2'. On the inside one slip said Fuldol and other slip said Pushpadolustav. Yogeshbhai Sadhak from London went inside with the dish to Swamishri. As soon as the dish was placed in front of Swami, he started to wonder what this was and started to read out loud what was written. He was reading, choice, choice, but Priyadarshan Swami said, no it says Choose. Bapa asked Yogesh, which one to choose? Yogesh replied, "Aapne je levu e." Nirbhay Swami said then, that one's about there extension to fuldol and other is your echa one probably. Swamishri was a little puzzled, and said, this will be 'gharshan' with what I said to Muni Swami the other day. Meaning it will cause a clash with what I told Muni Swami. Narayancharan Swami then told Bapa just choose one. So Bapa chose slip that had Choose 2 and it said Pushpadolustav. Then laughing, Narayancharan Swami said Bapa read the other one as well. Nirbhay Swami read it and it said Fuldol. Bapa started laughing and said, " Maare Beta hoshyaar nikra." Everyone started to laugh. Swamishri gave us great smruti this way.

This small prasang happened in Mumbai, but its about how much kef we have for satsang and Maharaj & Swami.

Reporting was going on infront of Swamishri during his evening meal. P. Anandpriya Swami was telling prasangs of Bal Mandal to Swami.In one of his prasangs about balaks, he mentioned that there is a new balak in satsang for about couple years. His parents aren't satsangi. His father believes in Mataji really strongly. So his father got into an arguement with his son, who is only about 7 to 8 years old.
His father told him that Mataji is bigger and greater than your Bhagwan Swaminarayan so stop believing in him. The boy said back, NO my Bhagwan Swaminarayan is greater and bigger. They argued like this for couple minutes. The father got fed up with this and said, prove to me your Bhagwan is greater and bigger. The boy responds with kef, he goes, "If my Bhagwan Swaminarayan doesn't make you go for 'laagu' - [to the toilet] within two minutes then he's not greater. And within two minutes the father had to go bad to the bathroom. He instantly left for the bathroom. Swamishri hearing this prasang laughed and so did everyone present in the dinner. It just shows how bal mandal has affected these kids and made them strong in satsang.

Bochasan - During Swamishri's Lunch - 2006
Swamishri had arrived to lunch and was sitting. He had his patar in front of him and was waiting for his meal. He was tapping on his
patar like he was playing tabla. Balu Swami was sitting in the door area where Krishnavallabh Swami comes with the thali. Bapa said to Balu Swami, "Ganpati na jem su besi raho chu." Told him to move over and to the side. Then he told everyone sitting there, we should understand other people situation and place. Make sure everyone around you is comfortable, no one should be displeased. Then Swami looked around and saw a sadhu cramped up with his knees up. Swami pointed to the sadhus around him and said, move to the side so that he can sit properly. We should understand other people and make sure they don't feel uncomfortable. The way Swamishri explained it was so amazing. It is a small thing, but from this prasang we learn how Swamishri takes each small thing to make us perfect. Then the topic came about using a 'Loto' for santos. Like in the old days the loto was used for drinking and going to the bathroom. Now no one really uses them. Muni Swami said to Bapa, New santos use them in the beginning, but then as they move on, they don't use them. Swamishri said, but loto is a must. It has been coming from the beginning so why take them away. You still can use them for drinking. Swamishri was keen on preserving certain things because its been a ritual from the past. Then towards the end, Aksharkirtan Swami was reading for last couple days a book called, "Satsang ni Subh vartavo" So before he started reading, he always mentioned the title. So he said, Satsang ni Subh Vartavo. Swami instantly replied, "Su ame Asubh varta karta hata!." Everyone started laughing. Swami was serious in the beginning but instantly he made everyone laugh. Gave good smruti and janpanu to everyone there.

Jan 25 - 2006 Mumbai
Today Swamishri did the murti pratishta of Ghanshyam Maharaj in Mumbai. The old murti became a little damaged and so it was decided to install a new murti of Ghanshyam Maharaj. After Swamishri finished his ashirvaad in the evening again we went to the 5th floor and waited for Swamishri to come out of the elevator. We decided to sing "Mane pyaare laage murti tamaari..." As soon as Swamishri heard it he said, "Koni murti?" Yogeshbhai replied, "Ghanshyam Maharaj ane aap ni." Swami pointing to us all sadhaks said, "Aa badhi murti laage chhe saari." In this way Swamishri gave us all good smruti.

There was a small 13 yr old boy which Swamishri loved. This boy had stayed with Swami for four years. The love between this kid and Swami was strong. It was just unflinching love. One day this boy came out of the shower and Swamishri asked him that "I am very happy with you today, ask for something today and this little 13 year old boy asks, " Maro lobh tadigayo". Swamishri says, "Yes". Then the boy said, " Maro krodh tadigayo". Swami again says, " Yes". Then the boy asked, "Maro swaad tadigayo. And Swami said, "Yes." This little boy wanted diksha and Bapa had said to wait one year. So, one day this boy was swimming in the lake with Dr. Swami, Mahant Swami and other sadhus and all of a sudden this boy disappeared. Later they found out that he had gone to Akshardham. There was a reason as to why Bapa had told the boy to wait one year for diksha. The reason was that he was pure. At the mere age of 13 the things this little boy had asked for is just amazing. This boy in his previous birth had accomplished many great things but because of his krodh, lobh and swaad he had to take this birth.
Another six year old boy, had a brain tumor and Swamishri came into his dream and said that after one month I will come and take you to Akshardham. Because he was going to dhaam in one month he called all of his friends from the Bal Mandal and did sabha. This boy had told his parents to give everyone sweets and then after that he said, "Chalo badha, have Jai Swaminarayan, Swami mane leva aavya chhe." This shows that the six year old boy who had a brain tumor had taken this human birth for a reason, he had to accomplish something and so after that he went to dham. This shows that Swami will come and take us to dham. We have to have patience, trust the Satpurush (BAPA), and understand him to be Divya and surely he will take us to Akshardham……
