Sadguru Shri Balmukunddasji Swami

The disciple of Sadguru Gunatitanand Swami was also a powerful saint, having extraordinary divinity. He was born in the village in Saurashtra on the third day of Chaitra in the S.Y. 1887. His name was Gordhanbhai. From the childhood he had inclination towards devotion of God. Coming in contact with Gunatitanand Swami, there was the inner inspiration to renounce the home.

Soon after his initiation as a saint in S.Y. 1909, Yogiraj Gopalanand Swami blessed him and forecasted that he would be highly powerful to shoulder the services of sampraday.

Aacharya Maharj shree of Vadtal had high regards for Swamiji on account of his extraordinary caliber. He had undergone severe penance and was strictly following the Code of Conduct for Saints as shown by Bhagwan Swaminarayan.

He had unshakeable faith in Bhagwan Swaminarayan as the Supreme Lord. This realized Saint had many a times divine holy sight of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. He was a Vachan Sidhh Saint and so whatever he said out of inner inspiration actually happened. He had removed distresses of many devotees. He was preaching all to worship God, becoming Brahm-Swarup, considering the soul, separate from physical body.

By his blessings many got rid of worldly desires, and by chanting the name of Swaminarayan, in his presence, before God, many could leave physical bodies on the spot, attained final salvation and miraculously went to the divine abode of God. This great saint forecasted the day and time of his departure from this world, and accordingly he left for Akshardham in the S.Y. 1972 at Junagadh.
