INSPIRER
"In the good
of others lies our own."
The selfless words, work
and life of Pramukh Swami Maharaj have inspired a world of
selfless service to humanity. Revered as a unique and rare holy soul
of India, Swamishri
is the fifth spiritual successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan and represents
Hinduism in its pristine purity. In his presence doubts
dissolve, confusions clear, hurts heal and the mind finds peace. He
reaches out equally to children, youths and adults; regardless of simplicity
and profound love for God have touched world religious and social leaders.
As the spiritual head of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, Swamishri has
visited over 15,500 villages and cities,
sanctified 250,000 homes and written
500,000 letters. By creating cultural wonders like Akshardham, establishing
over 410 mandirs and 8100 centres, he has ushered a cultural, moral
and spiritual renaissance. Through 160 humanitarian services, his divine
humanism has provided care and comfort to countless souls in times of
natural catastrophes and in daily life.
