The (boat ride) presentation on Vedic and Puranic traditions of our past is indeed incomparable.
The founder of the Swaminarayan Faith, Bhagwan Swaminarayan’s early life and pilgrimage, when he was known as Neelkanth shown in the IMAX film is unparalleled. It inspires the viewer to live truthfully, in self-control and generously.
If there is any country that would show the correct direction to the path of eternal peace for the human race, which is consumed by the fire of materialism, it will be Bharat – India. And if you ask how, my reply is, I saw its road map in the Delhi Swaminarayan Akshardham where I found the new direction to and vision of human life.
Today, on the very sacred Guru Purnima day we had the great fortune to have darshan and offer our homage to Bhagwan Swaminarayan. We thoroughly enjoyed every show. The life, penance, and challenges of Shri Swaminarayan tell us about his tremendous spiritual strength. I congratulate each and everyone who had contributed to this extraordinary monument. This creation was due to the inspiration of Pramukh Swamiji, who is worthy of praise by the nation. (2007)
Divinity has been glorified by the beautiful artistic carvings par excellence. It enriches the serenity of devotion and faith which is sublime. This is in addition an artistic wonder with human imagination which gives a fantastic experience made melodious with water and music. My pranams to Swamiji and all the devotees.(09 Jul. 2012)
