Swaminarayan Mahapuja 3

Mahapuja is undertaken to ensure all devotees live a life full of spiritual (akshardham) joy and peace, protecting them from any ill-fate so that their lives are transformed into that of devotion, prosperity and well being. To that end the names of all haribhakto are read out during the puja and metaphorically placed at the lotus feet of Shreeji Maharaj.
Haribhakto often request for Mahapuja to be carried out for them when they wish to counter some problems or uncertainties in their lives and as a result they experience the resolution of these difficulties. The power of the Mahapuja is such that for those who have faith, miracles certainly occur and in the words of Maharaj, "The impossible becomes possible".
The origins of the Mahapuja are from the ancient Hindu scriptures and religious rites but modified for the specific purpose described above. The first Mahapuja was conducted on 2nd June 1830, the day after Shreeji Maharaj left His physical form and returned to Swadham. This was conducted to console Dada Khachar who was grief stricken because Maharaj had stayed with him at Gadhada for 28 years.
Thereafter there are no records of Mahapuja being formed until 15 years later when Gunatitanand Swami requested Gopalanand Swami to do Mahapuja at the Junagadh temple to help improve the livelihood and mundane prospects of the local devotees. Gunatitanand Swami explained the glory of the Mahapuja and gave blessings that anyone for whom Mahapuja is performed will be relieved from all mental and physical miseries, from poverty and all their virtuous wishes will be fulfilled.
