Our Acharyas :


Acharya Shree Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj
Sanatan Dharma Dhurandar Acharya Maharaj Shree 1008 Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj (October 1971 - Present) is the current Acharya of the NarNarayan Dev Gadi of the Swaminarayan Sampraday (15 October 2004 - Present) and is the 7th spiritual successor of Swaminarayan in the North Diocese (NarNarayan Dev Gadi, Ahmedabad). The establishment of Shri NarNarayan Dev Yuvak Mandal (NNDYM) has been a major achievement of Acharya Shree Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj. Festivals have been celebrated on a scale never before seen in the Swaminarayan Sampraday under the leadership Acharya Shree Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj, including the Shardha Satabdi Mahotav, Shashti Purti Mahotsav and the Chhapaiya Nij Mandir Pran Pratishta Mahotsav. An initiative taken by Koshalendraprasadji has been the Jai Shree Swaminarayan television serial that has been broadcasted throughout the world.
According to the followers of the Swaminarayan Sampradaya, Acharya Shree Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj is very humble. His philosophy of working centres on the principle that everything can be achieved if we surrender ourselves to the lotus feet of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. All tasks, no matter how daunting they may seem at first, can be fruitful and filled with utmost success if performed with Bhagwan Swaminarayan in mind.


With the blessing of Almighty Lord Shree Swaminarayan Bhagwan, H. H. Acharya Shree Koshlendraprasadji Maharaj, P.P. Mahant Swami of Bhuj, Purani Swami Shree Dharmanandan Dasji and other revered saints; SKS Swaminarayan Temple - Bolton proudly announces the 40th Anniversary celebration from the 2nd September to 8th September 2013.
During this divine celebrations, Bhuj Saints will recite the Shreemad Satsangi Jeevan and bless various other events such as Annakut Darshan, Maha Vishnu Yaag, Grand Procession and Cultral Programmes with their presence. H. H. Mota Maharajshree Shree Tejendraprasadji Maharaj and P.P. Mahant Swami Swami Shree Dharmanandan Dasji will also grace this event with their presence.

Sponsor your Temple
"As far as charity is concerned, it is plain that charity should be given to the devotees of Krishna who are engaged in His devotional service to spread the Krishna philosophy, or krishna consciousness, throughout the world".

"So, if one gives some amount of his money to persons involved in distributing Krishna consciousness, that charity, given to spread Krishna consciousness, is the greatest charity in the world." (bg 11.54 purport).

If you would like to become a SPONSOR of Manchester's HARE KRISHNA CENTRE, the process is very simple.

Please contact the temple team for Standing order & Gift Aid Declaration forms.
