Hagiography
<p>Muktanand Swami, born as Mukunddas in 1758, was a swami and paramahansa of the Swaminarayan Sampradaya. He was regarded as the principal disciple of Ramanand Swami and was considered the incarnation of Naradji. Muktanand Swami played a significant role in the early years of Swaminarayan's mission. He met Swaminarayan, then known as Nilkanth Varni, in Loj and recognized his divine presence. Muktanand Swami proposed Swaminarayan as the successive preceptor and head of the sect, and he accepted Ramanand Swami's appointment of Swaminarayan as the leader. Muktanand Swami is highly revered in the Swaminarayan Sampradaya and is known as "the mother of Satsang" for his care and affection for swamis. He represented the sampradaya at the Gathering of Vadodara and emerged victorious.</p>
