The realms of the other deities are like hell compared to the Akshardham of God. 3. What happen to jivas until Ishwars achieve ultimate liberation? Just like jivas, Ishwars are born and die in this creation until they achieve ultimate liberation. 4. According to Gadhada I 56, without what can nothing be accomplished? According to Gadhada I-56, without upasana, nothing can be accomplished. 5. Which size for the jiva has Shriji Maharaj accepted and propounded? Shriji Maharaj in some places has clearly said that the jiva is as subtle as an atom, while in other places he has described the jiva itself as being atomic. March 2016 1. What are the three states of Ishwar? The three states of Ishwars are: 1. Sthiti 2. Utpati 3. Pralay 2. According to Vachanamrut Loya 6, what is the root cause of all defects?

When Akshar-Purush inspires Mul-Prakruti, she is moved from her dormant state of complete tranquility and equilibrium (a peaceful state of equal balance of all three gunas-sattva, rajas, tamas) into activity. 6. According to Gadhada I 56, without what can nothing be accomplished? According to Gadhada I-56, without upasana nothing can be accomplished. March 2017 1. Why is maya described as trigunatmak? Maya (karanrup maya) and the entities evolved from maya (karyarup maya) possess the three inherent qualities (gunas) – sattva, rajas and tamas. Hence maya is described as trigunatmak 2. According to Shriji Maharaj in Shikshapatri, how does the jiva pervade the entire body? The jiva, which is as subtle as an atom,1 resides in the heart. By virtue of its capacity to know, it pervades the entire body from head to toe. 3. What did Shriji Maharaj explicitly command Muktanand Swami? Shriji Maharaj explicitly commanded Muktanand Swami to write shastras relating to his teachings and incidents for as long as he lived (G II 58). 4. In shloka 116 of the Shikshapatri, how does Shriji Maharaj command to offer bhakti? Shriji Maharaj says, “Identify oneself with Brahman, separate from the three bodies (gross, subtle and causal), and eternally offer devotion to God”. 5. What did Nityanand Swami understand about Shriji Maharaj? Nityanand Swami firmly maintained that Shriji Maharaj, who is distinct, above all, the source of all avatars, and supreme God, should be described as greater than Shri Krishna. 6. What kind of tattva is Ishwar? Each Ishwar is neither created nor destroyed, meaning that it is eternal. March 2018 1. According to Vachanamrut Gadhada I 57, which are the two extraordinary means to attain liberation? The knowledge of God’s form and the knowledge of God’s greatness are the two extraordinary means to attain liberation. 2. What did Bhagatji ask Swamishri Yagnapurushdasji on the occasion of the murti-pratishtha of Ghanshyam Maharaj? Bhagatji Maharaj said to Swamishri Yagnapurushdas, “Sadhuram, you have become a sadhu, but do you have total understanding of and faith in Swaminarayan?” 3. What is not able to influence Parabrahman and Aksharbrahma? Maya cannot overcome Parabrahman or Aksharbrahma in any way or at any time.

    Supreme Jeevanpran Lord Swaminarayan Abjibapashri Swaminarayan Mandir Vasna Sanstha (SMVS) The sole aim of this socio-spiritual Swaminarayan organization is to create 'Shreeji Maharaj's beloved society.' It is where spiritual and social values like truthfulness, non- violence, honesty, and family unity are instilled, pure supreme worship (Upasana) of Bhagwan Swaminarayan is consolidated and the bliss of the state of an Anadimukta is experienced. Jivanpran Abjibapashri had taken on the challenging task of propagating Bhagwan Swaminarayan's eternal principles and pure worship, by unleashing the secrets of Bhagwan Swaminarayan's supreme worship and the state of an Anadimukta. In 1974, Gurudev Bapji led a revolutionary task, to carry forward Abjibapashri's vision onto a global scale. With this aim in perspective, the Swaminarayan Mandir Vasna Sanstha (SMVS) was established by Gurudev Bapji in 1987. SMVS continuously strives to kindle spirituality and to bring about change in the lives of each individual in society. Approximately 100 saints, 83 women ascetics, and greater than 10000 devoted volunteers from this organization are instilling divine inspiration in children groups, youth groups, and elderly groups and are providing them with more fulfilling life experience. Through various spiritual campaigns, they are reaching out to thousands of people to eradicate misery and instill enlightenment and happiness in their lives.

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.

  • Pramukh Swami's Work
    Pramukh Swami's Work “In the good of others lies our own...” This maxim by Pramukh Swami Maharaj is not only an inspiring call for all humanity, but also reflects the spirit of his services to man and society. Acclaimed as a unique and rare holy soul of India, Pramukh Swami Maharaj was born on 7 December 1921 in the village of Chansad, Gujarat. He is the fifth successor in the illustrious spiritual tradition of Bhagwan Swaminarayan (1781-1830) who established the Swaminarayan Sampradaya. Pramukh Swami Maharaj was born in the village of Chansad, 12 km from Vadodara in Gujarat on 7 December, 1921. Known as Shantilal in his childhood, he was wedded to devotion from a young age. His parents, Motibhai and Diwaliben Patel, were adherents of the Swaminarayan Sampradaya. Shastriji Maharaj had discerned the potential of young Shantilal from the very day he initiated him as a disciple. While studying in 6th grade, Shantilal received the call from guru Shastriji Maharaj to renounce his home. With the blessings of his parents, he left home at the age of 18 and was initiated by Shastriji Maharaj in January 1940 and was renamed as Sadhu Narayanswarupdas. For 11 years, Narayanswarupdas served under guru Shastriji Maharaj. During the initial years, he toured with him and studied Sanskrit and the shastras. He excelled in studies but had to discontinue them to serve in the mandir-building activities. In 1943, he played an important role in the construction work of the mandir in Atladra. From 1946-1950, he was given the responsibility of Kothari of the BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir in Sarangpur.
