Yogiji Maharaj
Yogiji Maharaj (23 May 1892 – 23 January 1971), born Jina Vasani, was a guru and regarded the fourth spiritual successor of Swaminarayan in the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha sect of Swaminarayan Hinduism. According to the metaphysics of BAPS, he is considered to be the next iteration of Akshar after Shastriji Maharaj in the Guru Parampara, an unbroken line of "perfect devotees" who provide "authentication of office through Gunatitanand Swami and back to Swaminarayan himself."〔Together with Pramukh Swami Maharaj, who acted as the administrative head, Yogiji Maharaj was instrumental in expanding the growth of BAPS "through new programs, expansion into new areas, and the construction of temples".He consecrated over 60 temples and is said to have visited 4000 towns and villages.〔 Yogiji Maharaj was particularly effective in attracting the devotion of youths and initiated a large number of them as ascetics.〔 Furthermore, his multiple tours to Britain and East Africa were integral in the overseas expansion of BAPS.〔〔 Yogiji Maharaj died on 23 January 1971 and appointed Pramukh Swami Maharaj as the next spiritual head of BAPS.
==Early life==
Yogiji Maharaj, was born as Jina Vasanji on 23 May 1892 in the small town of Dhari in Saurashtra, India to father Devchandbhai and mother Puribai. Throughout his childhood Jina was a diligent student and his work-ethic made him popular among his contemporaries. He also took a distinct interest in spirituality, often engaging in devotional service by performing the daily worship and service of the murtis in the mandir at Dhari.〔 Due to his failing health, Mohanbhai, the caretaker of the temple, asked Jina to take over the full responsibility of running the temple. Jina readily agreed and despite his young age was unencumbered by the new duties.〔 He prepared offerings for the deities installed within the mandir, tended the mandir grounds, taught meditation techniques and made sure everyone received sanctified food. Just after Jina had taken his seventh standard exams, Krishnacharandasji, a prominent disciple of Gunatitanand Swami, was visiting the mandir with a group of sadhus.〔 After observing Jina's dedication in volunteering at the mandir and service to the community, he inquired about Jina's interest in being initiated as a sadhu and pursuing the path of asceticism.〔 About a year later Jina obtained his parents' permission to become a sadhu and on 1 November 1908 he left for Junagadh to meet Krishnacharandasji.〔〔
