YOGI HRIDAY KAMAL

Swaminarayan Akshardham: Yogi Rudaykamal Garden

The Yogihriday Kamal is a lotus shaped garden which brings to us the wisdom of great leaders, from around the world and across time. It is named in honour of Yogiji Maharaj, the fourth divine successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan and the guru whose call to build a mandir on the Yamuna is at the heart of Akshardham’s inspiration. Yogiji Maharaj always prayed, “May God do the good of all.” He had infinite faith in God and God-inspired humanity. In this inspirational garden dedicated to him, each petal reflects his auspicious sentiments of learning from everyone and doing good for all, with faith in God and in the goodness that resides in each 'hriday' - heart.
