Visitors to the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir marvelled at the traditions, heritage, values and architecture of Hinduism experienced through the Mandir and Heritage Museum. They also learned that the Mandir has been built through the vision and inspiration of Pramukh Swami Ma- haraj and the global voluntary efforts of the BAPS. Visitors were amazed to learn of the many activities that are carried out by BAPS: educational, medical, community, environmental, disaster relief and others. Almost all guests offered abhishek to the murti of Nilkanth Varni, praying for themselves, their family and peace in the world. A special display of Sacred Hindu Literature (the Vedas, Mahabharat, Gita, Vachanamrut, Shikshapatri, etc.) in the foyer gave guests an opportunity to see authentic scriptural works in Sanskrit which are the roots of Hinduism. After visiting the Doors Open event at the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir for the first time, Karen Black, the founder of Doors Open, commented, “This is how I envision ‘Doors Open’. Your (BAPS) message about ‘Unity in Diversity’ is what the message of Doors Open is.” Specially trained BAPS children and youths were at hand to answer or guide the visitors at every stage. All volunteers worked extremely well together and provided an unforgettable experience for the visitors. VISITOR OPINIONS: Quite easily, the most beautiful structure in the western world. Amazing! - Loren S, Toronto It was an experience like no other. Different from how it is portrayed in schools.

  • Krishna Trail 5N -6D Jamnagar – Dwarka – Beyt Dwarka – Somnath – Ahmedabad – Shamlaji – Ahmedabad – Dakor – Ahme
    Krishna Trail 5N -6D Jamnagar – Dwarka – Beyt Dwarka – Somnath – Ahmedabad – Shamlaji – Ahmedabad – Dakor – Ahmedabad The birth of Krishna is in itself a transcendental phenomenon that generates awe among the Hindusand overwhelms one and all with its supra mundane happenings.Mother Earth, unable to bear the burden of sins committed by evil kings and rulers,appealed to Brahma, the Creator for help. Brahma prayed to the Supreme Lord Vishnu,who assured him that he would soon be born on earth to annihilate tyrannical forces.One such evil force was Kansa, the ruler of Mathura (in northern India)and his people were utterly terrified of him.On the day Kansa's sister Devaki was married off to Vasudeva,an akashvani orvoice from the sky was heard prophesying that Devaki's 8th sonwould be the destroyer of Kansa. The frightened Kansa immediately unsheathed his sword to kill his sister but Vasudeva intervened and implored Kansa to spare his bride, and promised to hand over every new born child to him.Kansa relented but imprisoned both Devaki and her husband Vasudeva.When Devaki gave birth to her first child, Kansa came to the prison cell and slaughtered the newborn.In this way, he killed the first six sons of Devaki. Even before her 8th child was born, Devaki and Vasudeva started lamenting its fate andtheirs. Then suddenly Lord Vishnu appeared before them and said he himself was coming to rescue them and the people of Mathura. He asked Vasudeva to carry him to the house of his friend, the cowherd chief Nanda in Gokula right after his birth, where Nanda's wife Yashoda had given birth to a daughter.He was to exchange his boy and bring Yashoda's baby daughter back to the prison.Vishnu assured them that "nothing shall bar your path".At midnight on ashtami, the divine baby was born in Kansa's prison.Remembering the divine instructions, Vasudeva clasped the child to his bosom and started for Gokula,but found that his legs were in chains.

Focus was on the role played by the guru, the sadhus and devotees of the Swaminarayan Movement and how they related t~ their religious, ethical and social obligations. Their responses to ethical scriptures were evaluated, especially with a view to determining the extent to which ethical injunctions permeates, enhances, uplifts and shapes the adherents spiritually,morally and socially. Swaminarayan ethics was also placed within the context of Classical Hindu Texts and in particular, the work of Ramanuja and his Vishistadvaita philosophy. Further, it has been observed that the quest for the Ultimate Reality (Purushottam) is through their relationship with Akshar, Guru Pramukh Swami, the model of ethical excellence whose charisma binds the fibre of the Movement and his role serves both the ethical and transcendental plane of the Movement.

Bhagwan Swaminaryan nourished and fostered the timeless traditions of Hinduism through his contribution of a unique, novel philosophy called Akshar- Purushottam Darshan. In so doing, he introduced a new spiritual pathway to ultimate moksha for countless souls. In his moral and spiritual teachings, called the Shikshapatri and Vachanamrut, Bhagwan viii Satsang Diksha Swaminarayan provides a detailed guide of spiritual sadhanas for the experience of happiness through moral behaviour, social dealings and knowledge.
