History of BAPS
The roots of BAPS in London can be traced back to the early 1950s. It was the early post war years when London was recovering from the aftermath of World War II. Indians were scarce and scattered and amongst those rare few were the pioneers of BAPS in UK. We present a brief story of the Sanstha in London from accounts and reports by devotees and Pramukh Swami Maharaj.

Activities of BAPS
From recycling millions of cans in London to recharging wells in rural India; from campaigning against harmful addictions to providing pure herbal medicines; from building and maintaining beautiful permanent structures such as the famous Swaminarayan Hindu Mandir, Neasden (London) to setting up large platforms for single-day conventions; from organising cultural festivals attended by millions to inspiring individuals to lead a morally pure life; from providing free education in India to giving extensive career guidance, ... BAPS believes that social change can come only if people join in and contribute voluntary efforts towards removing society's ills.
