ISSO 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 All this is great and I Praise the active worshipers of swaminarayan bhagwan in the BAPS sect. But let me ask you one of the most important questions you have probably been asked about this Akshardham temple of your sects. What type of a temple in the history of hinduism charges money from its followers to enter the temple to pray to god and recieve his blessing? This so called establishment is not a temple it is a Business. BAPS has build an amazing temple possibly the worlds finest ever built, to make their Bhagvan swaminarayan maharaj happy and then they turned it into a business. This makes me very sad as i have personally been to this amazing temple myself being a devotee of swaminarayan bhagvan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
