                       Friday, September 21, 2012

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Bochasanwasi Shree Akshar Purushottam Mandir in my home of Levittown, 
Pennsylvania for hosting Sadguru Sant Pujya Kothari Swami later this 
month for a spiritual evening event during his visit to the United 
States.
  Pujya Kothari Swami, one of the seven most senior sadhus of BAPS, 
will be visiting the United States to perform the Opening Ceremony of 
the Satsang Activity Center in neighboring New Jersey. The work done by 
Pujya Kothari Swami in his missionary work across the country and 
around the globe is deeply respected and praised by the entire 
Swaminarayan community.
  It is truly an honor for Bucks County to host this important 
spiritual figure in the Swaminarayan faith.
  As my constituents gather together for a night of spiritual 
enlightenment and community, I join them in welcoming Pujya Kothari 
Swami and wish him all the best during his time in historic Bucks 
County, Pennsylvania.
