H.E. Gyani Zail Singh
President of India
"The Swaminarayan Movement is a Faith that has been serving the nation. Many saints and sages have descended on this earth and enshrined the highest ideals of life. Who has preserved these values? It is saints like Pramukh Swami who have imbibed them. By virtue of their lives and deeds, they possess a spiritual appeal; because of this, people listen to them and get inspired to live by those values. The Government needs such noble saints; however, they do not need the Government...... And had I not visited Akshardham, I would have missed a lot in my life."
