Bhagwan Swaminarayan has been hailed by contemporary civic leaders and modern historians as a great social reformer and inspirational leader. Nineteenth-century figures –Indian and British; Hindu, Muslim and Christian – praised his contributions to the abolition of vice and superstition. Among other reforms, he preached the equality of all as atma, the soul; he empowered women with education; he stopped female infanticide and the ritual of sati; he forbade violent sacrifices; and he preached a life free of addictions.
But Bhagwan Swaminarayan did not simply reform society; he spiritually transformed it with faith, spirituality, virtue, and integrity. He re-established ‘ekantik dharma’ – faith founded on the pillars of bhakti, dharma, spiritual knowledge and detachment from worldly ignorance. From his own lifetime until today, millions have recognized him as the manifest form of Parabrahman Paramatma- supreme God himself. Swaminarayan Akshardham is dedicated to him.
