With a view to satisfying the aspirations and the thirst for knowledge of the youth joining the organisation, and also to enable them to understand and imbibe the principles of Akshar and Purushottam expounded by Bhagwan Swaminarayan, the publications division, Swaminarayan Aksharpith, organised under the auspices of Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha, has produced a series of books. Through these books, it is intended to impart systematic, sustained and pure knowledge in simple language on a scholastic basis to children and youth of the Swaminarayan Sampraday. It is hoped that this Sanstha, established by Brahmaswarup Shastriji Maharaj for implementing and propagating the Vedic ideals propounded by Bhagwan Swaminarayan, will, through this activity, spread the ideals and noble traditions of the Sampraday and through it, the culture and heritage of the Hindu religion. It is the aim of this project to preach and spread the divine message of Bhagwan Swaminarayan to all corners of the world. We hope that all religious-minded truth-seekers of the Sampraday, and those outside of it, will welcome this activity and be inspired by its universal principles and ideals. In order to encourage children and youths, annual examinations are held based on the curriculum presented in these books. Certificates are also awarded to successful candidates. We bless Pujya Ishwarcharan Swami, Prof. Rameshbhai Dave, Kishorebhai Dave, and all others who have cooperated in preparing these books. Shastri Narayanswarupdasji (Pramukh Swami Maharaj) Jai Swaminarayan Vasant Panchmi V.S. 2028 (1972 CE) Atladra PUBLISHER’S NOTE Bhagwan Swaminarayan, the supreme God-Purushottam manifested on this earth, together with his divine abode, Akshardham, in the form of Aksharbrahman Gunatitanand Swami. Bhagwan Swaminarayan taught the Vedic tradition of dual worship in the form of Akshar and Purushottam. He taught that the goal of life is to attain the virtues of Akshar and offer devotion to Purushottam. Many witnessed their divine deeds but failed to realize their true glory. Despite the efforts of Gunatitanand Swami and Bhagatji Maharaj, the Akshar-Purushottam philosophy revealed by Bhagwan Swaminarayan was truly understood by only a few. However, through the efforts of Brahmaswarup Shastriji Maharaj, the Akshar-Purushottam philosophy became widely accepted. He suffered many hardships and overcame much opposition to build five magnificent mandirs and enshrine the murtis of Akshar-Purushottam, as per the wish of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. He built the first mandir in Bochasan in 1907, thus establishing the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS). Shastriji Maharaj's saintly life of dedication, service, faith and devotion inspired many to join the BAPS and progress on the spiritual path. This publication, Shastriji Maharaj, provides a brief insight into his life and work. It is a truly inspiring example of what one man’s determination to reveal the truth can achieve. This book serves as part of the curriculum for the Satsang Pravesh Examinations. It is our earnest prayer that all satsangis study this book carefully, pass the examinations with flying colours, and above all, derive immense spiritual benefits and please Bhagwan Swaminarayan and guru Pramukh Swami Maharaj. - Swaminarayan Aksharpith CONTENTS Preface ....................................................................................v Publisher’s Note .....................................................................vi 1.

The growth, strength and inter- supportiveness of these four pillars are key to spreading of the Swaminarayan Faith. Lord Shree Swaminarayan has acknowledged these pillars and laid down the key responsibilities for each of the pillars. He instructed his Nand-Santos to write Shastras which helped the devotees to perform devotion (Bhakti), acquire true knowledge (Gnan), practice righteous living (Dharma) and develop non- attachment to every thing material except Supreme God, Lord Shree Swaminarayan (Vairagya). There are nine types of bhakti, of which, Lord Shree Swaminarayan has singled out Kirtan Bhakti as one of the most important and fundamental in our devotion to God.
