The Inspirer and Present Guru of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha

He has a heart wherein the whole world can live

 
 

Pramukh Swami Maharaj is the fifth spiritual successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan and the present leader of the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha. He represents the Hindu Tradition in all its pristine purity and glory.

Ever since Pramukh Swami Maharaj inspired and consecrated the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, London, on 20 August 1995, the mandir has become a source of moral and spiritual inspiration. During its construction, every part of the mandir and the smallest process connected with it were thoroughly pondered upon, scrutinised and energetically followed up by Swamishri to the point of perfection. Behind his epic effort lay a deep wish to fulfill the dream of his Guru, Yogiji Maharaj.

Even today, at the age of 86, he continuously travels in society to inspire countless individuals. Having personally counselled 810,000 people, read and replied to 500,000 letters, Swamishri has also visited 15,500 villages and 250,000 homes. He has personally inspired and consecrated 700 mandirs and initiated 780 youths into the sadhu-fold.

His compassion for humanity, deep concern for its problems and conscious efforts to alleviate them, have inspired international moral, social, educational, cultural and spiritual projects. His striking humility, wisdom and simplicity have touched many world religious and national leaders. But most important is his quiet, undisturbed love and realisation of God. His generosity and affection rises beyond all borders of nation, religion, race and reason. Pramukh Swami Maharaj is universally revered and respected, for he has a heart wherein the whole world can live.
