| Supreme Incarnation Lord Shri Swaminarayan with all His powers and abilities incarnated as Ghanshyam on 3rd April 1781 (Chaitra Sud 9, Samvat 1837), in the rustic village of Chhapaiya, in northern India, to a Sarvaria brahmin pundit named Hariprasad Pande. On the sixth day of the birth of Kotara ( evil lady knowing black art ) and such others came to kill the lord, in the infant form but they were burnt by a mere sight and were driven away. He was the second of three sons; Rampratap, the elder brother and Ichharam, the younger. His mother, Premvati was lovingly known as Bhaktimata, and father Hariprasad as Dharmadev. | |
