H.H. 1008 Acharya Shree Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj.

Acharya Shree Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj (b. October 1971) is the current Acharya of the NarNarayan Dev Gadi of Swaminarayan Sampraday (15 October 2004–present) and the 7th Spiritual Successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan in the North Diocese (Amdavad NarNarayan Dev Gadi).

His achievements as Bhavi Acharya (pre-acharya status) set a new precedent for the future of Shri NarNarayan Dev Desh and the Swaminarayan Sampraday as a whole. In addition to regular satsang activities and annual festivals in temples of Shri NarNarayan Dev, Acharya Shree Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj has been working tirelessly with the blessings of His Father the retired Acharya Shri Tejendraprasadji Maharaj to ensure that the future needs of this holy satsang are catered for.

The establishment of Shri NarNarayan Dev Yuvak Mandal (NNDYM) has been a major achievement of Acharya Shree Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj.

Grand festivals and celebrations on a scale never before seen in the Swaminarayan Sampraday have been organised by Acharya Shree Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj, including the Shardha Satabdi Mahotav, Shashti Purti Mahotsav and the Chhapaiya Nij Mandir Pran Pratishta Mahotsav.

The most ambitious initiative taken by Acharya Shree Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj has been the Jay Shree Swaminarayan television serial that has been broadcasted all over 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.
