Overview
Bhagwan Swaminarayan, also known as Sahajanand Swami, was a religious teacher whose life and teachings are central to the Swaminarayan tradition of Hinduism. Devotees honour his emphasis on devotion, moral conduct, spiritual discipline and service. Swaminarayan temples and communities continue these traditions in India and internationally.
Significance
The Swaminarayan tradition includes devotional worship, community service and teachings on ethical living. Swaminarayan Akshardham in Delhi presents aspects of this spiritual and cultural heritage, but the tradition extends beyond any single temple or complex.
