               At 9.00 am the Chief 
                Minister Shri Narendrabhai Modi inaugurated the hospital amidst 
                Vedic chantings. During a brief tour of the hospital the Chief 
                Minister, Shri Ashokbhai Bhatt, Minister for Law and Shri Narottambhai 
                Patel, Minister for Water Supplies, expressed their accolades 
                for the quality and meticulous care taken in constructing the 
                hospital.  
               The inauguration 
                assembly was held on the precincts of BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir 
                in the presence of Pramukh Swami Maharaj.  
               Shri Narendrabhai 
                Modi praised the BAPS socio-spiritual activities inspired by Pramukh 
                Swami Maharaj in his address. He added, “Today, a hospital 
                has been declared open for the people of Surat. The difference 
                between this hospital and that of others is that it is not only 
                fully equipped with latest instruments and technology but it is 
                blessed with spirituality and the divine grace of Pramukh Swami 
                Maharaj. Pramukh Swami Maharaj serves the whole of society and 
                his works have become a standard and benchmark for all to emulate; 
                be it festivals, educational complexes or hospitals. If any one 
                builds a hospital in Surat then it has to be like or better than 
                BAPS Pramukh Swami Hospital. I also want to tell you that our 
                society is facing a grave problem. For every 1000 baby boys born 
                we have 850 female births. This imbalance is not God inspired. 
                I appeal to you all to join in the campaign against female feticide.” 
                 
                Thereafter the Chief Minister inaugurated a new publication “Yug 
                Purush, Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj” authored by Kirit N. 
                Shelat (IAS), Secretary for Dept of Agriculture. 
               MP Shri Kashiram 
                Rana hailed the inauguration of the hospital and said, “Pramukh 
                Swami Maharaj’s services extend from cities to tribal areas. 
                The ultramodern BAPS Hospital here seems as if it is a hospital 
                from London, Paris and New York. I have seen it and when you will 
                step into it you will experience your pain and misery fade. There 
                is a fusion of state-of-the-art treatment and spirituality.” 
               Finally the assembly 
                was crowned with the blessings of Pramukh Swami Maharaj, “We 
                all experience diseases of body and mind. The hospital will cure 
                our body and the mandir cures the problems and diseases of mind. 
                The diseases of mind are due to lack of self control and moral 
                indiscipline. The more one listens and sees immoral things the 
                more distraught one’s mind becomes. We pray to God that 
                all be blessed with good health, prosperity and spiritual happiness.” 
               The inaugural assembly 
                of 15,000 dignitaries, doctors, industrialists, educationists 
                and devotees concluded with a vote of thanks.
