akshar

Swaminarayan is god not guru as he said himself in shikshapatri. Read verse 108 it clearly states krishna is supreme parmatma. As you'd all be confused ill explain. When swaminarayan was going to be named he had a few names but two of them were krishna and ghanshyam so in the shikshapatri he as reffering to himself. BAPS is the true swaminarayan organisation. Akshardham, a 100 acre complex was built in 5 years! Normally this would take 50 years but through satpurush guru Pramukh wami Maharaj it has been accomplished. He didn't say to worship krsna alone as in BAPS mandirs have murtis of all gods (according to what we can fit in) Swaminarayan isn't vishnu but he is parmatma, along with his companion akshar. Akshar is the dwelling place of purshottam (parmatma) also nows as akshardham. Akshardham is the highest of all heavens and isn't in golukh vrindavan as these other people say. As you say it's true many other sects will disagree after some many changes from ISCKON to BAPS, which isn't a bad thing as they come from the 2 personalities. Akshar is responsible for all incarnations except swaminarayans becaue parmatma himself came down to our planet and sanctified it. The devotee who chanted hare krsna must have een part of the vadtal sect of swaminarayan which isn't exzactly so pure compared to BAPS. As for you Shivam, the bit about that devotee saying swaminarayan is god you must've made up. ALWAYS REMEMBER IT IS SPELT SWAMINARAYAN NOT SWAMI NARAYAN. Come one have some respect. The second post as i could have guessed in my sleep was against swaminarayan. When will you learn that wasn't a mere mortal, only the avatari. If you disagree do so, but don't badmouth swaminarayan and heir devotees. JAY SWAMINARAYAN

To keep away from maya.

Krishna was here about 400 years prior to kali-yuga, he was on earth about 5000 years ago so we are definetly in kali-yuga, no doubt.

Just because there will be no krishna no avatar doesen't make it so. Vishnu will come near the end of kali-yuga. He will have the garuda as his horse and a lighting bolt as his sword, according to what i read.

I've seen throughout this whole website that all ISCKON devotees hate Sai Baba, why is this?

Who is the rascal? It's too long to find out who this rascal is.

The koran is pretty confuinf. Too many contradictions for it to be a book of god.

You can't honestly expect me to read alllll of that copy andpaste up there!

Where'd you hear that?

Alpesh24, Can you help me get some of those pics of bapa as mine won't work.

Unless you havn't noticed, there are many forums on hinduism on the internet. There is no need to make one for evryone is there? I know you don't care whether the swaminarayan website has a forum or not, your just looking for things to say about us. It's a fact. Don't try and deny it like most of you do.

I think it's helped the atholics really find out what the vatican does. I suggest another dan brown book called angels and demons

God made man and woman to be together. Not man and man and woman and woman. I don't think that they are a part of society, they are outcastes. Inhumane.

He is real, he was god. END OF

What a dog!

That is tooooooo funny. I think he's a little too mental for his own good.

You probably dont know but the first and last word is AUM. Nothing else.

Forgive me if this sounds a little bit stupid, but i have seen many threads all mentioning gaudiya vaishnavs,in order for me to understand most of these threads i need to know who they are Anyone explain to me please?

It's a christian tradition, not a vedic one. It's called respect, sitting on he floor. Anyway in most mandirs there are chairs for old people.

Chandra you can say that about any god. When swaminarayan was in the forest, he stayed with him all the time and destroyed any demons in Nilkanth's (swaminarayan) path, he was so quick to serve the lord that swaminarayan never had a chance to move. Swaminarayan even gave Jambuvan darshan of Ram bhagawan as Jamuvan missed him very much. Hanumanji is always there to serve anyone.

Just so u know the reason he went on the flag was because of Bhima when he went Kubera's gardens, not Krishna.

Jesus was DEFINETLY NOT THE SON OF KRISHNA. That church guy should look at his religion before even thinking about ours. The so called 'satan' in religion is the god of hell and he is a god, Yamdev. Not saying Yamdev is satan but according to them satan rules over hell, and Yamdev rules over hell under supervision of other gods above him. Jesus was an ordinary man. No shakti avatar or anything like that. It's a load of rubbish, how can u believe that.

the earth i meant will self destruct

I doubt this is true but i heard that this was Abraham's first church and when Mohammed had enough military power he broke all the idols but found some black stone and kissed it. I doubt this is true. In the black box of Mecca there is a shivlinga and apparently if that ling comes in contact with the waters of the ganga the will self destruct. Not the best thing to put into the hands of muslims. lol. Whaddya think?

why should we have pews?
