Another big achievement in Patel's life as an artist is the opportunity to paint the portrait of Pramukh Swami Maharaj for 100th-year Birthday Celebrations.

About the same, Shreena shares, "I was approached by the Temple to contribute to PSM 100 year celebrations and so I painted a large 120x100cm Portrait of Pramukh Swami Maharaj titled, ‘Divine Joy’. The Swami’s loved the painting so much that they included it in their Diwali celebrations right where Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London gave his Diwali speech."

Artist Shreena Patel took approximately 40 hours to complete the canvas of 120x100cm in dimension. She says that working on the painting was a blessing to her. She adds, "I included my signature lines and hand painted each letter of one of his quotes, ‘in the joy of others lies our own'. I am grateful that such wonderful opportunities come to me."
