mr john mccarthy obviouly didnt research much before making the documentary else he wudnt use innacurate data and information.so mahy gods one cant put a number on it?get ur facts right sir!!!
what you know about Hinduism, i thing you are just became blind about know realty about Hinduism, meet pramukh swami you will definitely feel your mistake,. hindu religion is best of all religion and really gives heart peace, for everyone who moves to find peace
For thousands of years, the Jews were surrounded by people who believed the earth was flat. They believed that if they were to travel too far in any direction, they would fall over the edge. This was also taught in both Hindu and Buddhist scripture. In the 1500’s however, the first ship sailed around the world, proving that the earth was round. Even before this explorative discovery, the round earth was recorded in the Judeo-Christian Bible!The prophet Isaiah spoke of the 'circle of the earth'.
@godlovesyouuu why you trying to put the blame on others,infact in the bible its said the earth is flat...no hindu scripture says that...you illitreate piece of shit...bible even says earth was created 2000 yrs ago...which science has proved wrong...so keep your mouth shut k....dont you dare insult hinduism....!!!!!!
u have not meet HDH Pramukh swami maharaj so may be u have not feel peace that we all r feeling.and ya technology shuld be used in good way thats wht now we all hindus are doing baps is just a sample. and i think u shuld read more history abt swaminarayan sampraday and Hindu relgion. then ur bias mind will think better. even for other religion also u shuld read their religious book.
i think u shuld not see the akshardham but u shuld visit the the houses of devotee of BAPS n ask many devotee abt their life style their past and their present. u may know that how they changed from satan to human. u think that temples and akshardham are for business or for any kind of global impression, then u have not read any history or any thing u shuld. they r to change life of human they to inspire people how to change ur life from evil satan to devine human.

I think BAPS has has a harimandir in Kerala. You should check....there is one in Orrisa and I think there should be one in Kerala....ideas for a Shikharbaddh manir might be underway soon.
(PS BAPS is now a 100 years old and still looks like it has not developed its peak. I reacently visited India and know that everyday projects are compleated, and more arise in India and abroad: schools, hospitals, museaums, temples, and many other community and spiritual projects.
BAPS is just a business nothing more and nothing less. And like every business - it will eventually crumble, no matter how much you try to save it. They believe that their pramuk swami is at the same level as Lord Swaminarayan. What I believe is no mortal man can ever call himself God unless he is able to prove it. And believe me, pramunk swami is not God or near any level close to God. A mortal man should never have the right to have his place in a singhasan. Just wait until the truth is out.
ha! LOL! I love how people are so stupid (IE gooslimm) Followers of Pramukh Swami Maharaj do not beleive he is God but they believe he is is Guru that can lead them to God. A guru has a place on a singhasan (Guru Govind Dono khade kisko laagu paay balihari gurudevaki jisne Godind diyo paay) Hope you learn to read before you preach!
@gooslimm... do you have any idea of what you are talking about? lol... lets talk... listen.. do not talk if do not know what you are saying. As (maharajswami1916) said look at the growth development BAPS holds today and talking about pramukh swami maharaj, just see how the worlds presidents respect him. do you think they are fools?
@gooslimm lol! secondly, about the BUSINESS which BAPS holds, did they ever come and beg any money from your pocket? no right... so why does it pain behind your back?
@gooslimm thirdly, about what you said "a mortal man should never have the right to have his place in the singhasan", have you ever read the scriputures? i bet by the way you talk, i dont think so... anyways go and read the scriptures and realize where they talk about AKSHAR BHARHM. Just wait until you realise the truth. if you dont find anything in the scriputres.. then you talk about the truth.. get it?
HINDU DEVI-DEVTAS ARE in millions, but their collective powers is ONE ISHVER. These BAPS temple have only mini idols of RAAMA,KRISHNA,SHIVA etc...They essentially believe in SWAMI NARAYAN, THE PREACHER. In Hinduism as a whole this title is for ISHVER(GOD).
This is just one, newer branch of HINDUISM, but not A HINDUISM as a WHOLE. They are free to believe in their brand of philosophy. They build very expensive temples everywhere.
The reason is quite clear: Ours is a Teacher faith, theirs is a King religion - God made in the image of a King. Kings issue commands, orders & judgements. Before the King, one kneels and shakes with fear, for this man could order his death. The King's word is law, no democracy here. Kingdom is for loyalists only - hence segregated heavens for members only. There can be only one king - hence the hatred towards others "disloyal" to the king
Glad to be born a Hindu. Go to muslim or christian videos and look for a Hindu deragatory comments - you won't find one. They don't teach abuse and bigotry in our temples - we are happy with our faith, why can't you be with yours? Are muslims and christians jealous of our faith? Sometimes I wonder what is being taught in those mosques and churches - bigotry and hatred?
@ramaraksha01...I'm not a Hindu but you are so right. Hindus, Jains and Buddihist show more respect for ALL life form than Muslims, Jews or Christians do. The world should have more Hindus, Buddhists and Jains! Peace.
really? r u nuts? i got involved in assasination of the hindus after i saw 100's of stupid hindus coming to our sites n ridicling our faith.. n u r not aware? wow go to muslim/christian/sikh sites n check it out..
Gujaratis have millions of Gods. AAASaramji is a famous Gujarati God. Lot of other Dadas and Dadis. Narendra fake encounter specialist pro rich Modi is another Gujarati God. Money is the only feeling and encouragement that every Gujju has. Shame on you Gujjus.

See Iskcon Hare Krsna Movement temple& Architecture all over the 6 continents, It's Mind Blowing, all ancient vedic wisdom. Its More grand & Majestic then swami narayan sect.
hahahahahah.....have you ever been to Delhi Akshardham....the largest Hindu temple in the World..i believe that temple belongs to the Swaminarayan Sampraday...besides you argue like a kid...you believe Jesus Christ to be an avatar of Krishna to gain white followers... sure sounds like hypocrisy to me..
The Largest Hindu temple in d world is in Cambodia (Angkor Wat) and in India its in south india, Sri rangam n Meenakshi Temple. And in the North Taj Mahal, ancient 12 century shiva temple robbed by Mus.
And
I belong to Madhava cum chaitanya tradition.
Stupid Jesus is a saint and spiritual master like swami narayan, prabhupada, ramanuja, Madavacharya, vishnu swami, nimbarka, alwars etc
Jesus is a vaisnavite, a devotee of Krisna.
Swami Narayan is a vaisnava Guru and a devotee of Krishna.
hmm where does it say that jesus is a follower of Krishna??..even christans don't agree with that let alone it being mentioned in the hindu scriptures...Bhagwan Swaminarayan prayed to shree Krishna to show pativrata dharma.. clearly mentioning that he is above shree Krishna and is supreme God
hahahah...so now you are comparing Krishna to a Greek pagan god who didn't even exist and whose followers ate meat and sacrificed animals...you have living in your world of fantasy.....
i m not concerned with Jesus...he was a great soul and preached love...all fine and dandy but when you say that him and Krishna are the same thing i start to become a little skeptical...for there is no proof to back up your reasoning except the obvious deduction that you bring in Jesus to gain Christan followers...
hmm if you would have googled vadtal vs baps you have come accross articles depecting vadtal santos being involved in sex scandals and murders of fellow santos...so really if you think that they are the genuine followers of Bhagwan Swaminarayan then you are entitled to have your opinion...but without any knowledge of the swaminarayan sampraday and its history your answer is weak and according to my opinion wrong..
The Guiness Book of World Records lists the Swaminarayan Akshardham as the largest hindu temple...they would have changed it by now if Angkor Wat or the Meenakshi Temple were bigger..Taj Mahal a hindu temple?? you have clearly to open your mind to reality rather than conspiracy theories...lol..
haha...of course..if the claims of the plaintiffs of these temples were true then the decision would have been reversed but apparently thats not the case..so accept the fact or make up some fantasy like akshardham is actually not a temple but a mosque,,,lol...
some Wp demigods / devatas, some wp ancestors, some wp guru without god like Baps And .. many of them are vaishnavas / devotees who worship krishna/Vishnu (The supreme) God has given a freewill or choice for everyone, people can either worship Him or DOG
you idiot, no one will say and no one said, I never said jesus and krishna are same, Jesus is a REPRESENTATIVE / SERVANT of the Lord.
You fools are the one doing offence by equating a devotee
Bhagwan Swaminarayan is purna purshottam narayan who is above Krishna (Vishnu) and other minor deities... Vishnu is ishwar the third eternal entity who is below and under the influence of Maya...there are millions of vishnus across the universe who run these different brahmands...this is the belief of the ENTIRE swaminarayan sampraday including vartal...vartal and the entire Swaminarayan sampraday adore Bhagwan Swaminarayan as supreme god not as guru..haha..you seem to be confused..
if you visited any BAPS mandirs you will see the statues of ram sita hanuman, shiv parvati ganesh and radha Krishna......this is the case not only in BAPS but the entire swaminarayan sampraday...lol
hun?? BAPS does not worship the guru....in the gita slokh # 64 vrses 24 and 25 lord Arjuna asks lord Krishna who is Brahma.... Krishna replies he is the great satpurush (guru) our goal is to merge with Brahman and offer worship to Para Brahman...this is the main principle behind the Vedas this is why we offer respect to the guru...we do not worship him...it seems to be that you don't know this fact and ignorantly comment like a buffoon..
well there are also christans and Muslims who convert to different religions and just like that many Hindus eat meat and drink...but then they really are hindu in name not in action...God has form,eating meat is not allowed worshiping minor deities and spirits etc....is a grave sin for people who are doing that are ignoring God..you state all the attributes of a non hindu...
Dude, You r a joker yaar, from whom did u learnt Gita man, shame on u.
Due to so many pseudo sects like Baps... who deviate from d scriptures, our Vedic culture is under d hammer.
In Kali Yuga thre will b many Bogus Gurus n false God claims. we Only accept Guru, sadhu, sastra.
You rascal sonnyg, Just quote 1 verse from Vedas which states Ghanasyam (swaminarayan) as above Krishna or God Himself. Before 300 years ago, thre was no swaminarayan existg in India prior to the birth of Sahajanad
There is no mention of name shajajanand alias swaminarayan in any of d vedic texts. Baps r so dumb confusg Guru fr God n creating greatest blunder in everyones spiritual life
Swaminarayan himself bowed n worshipped Krsna n states in his Sikhsapatri tht Krsna is the supreme Godhead
Who is God?
The Paramatma Sri Krsna who is supreme, Parabrahman, Bhagwan or Purushottam and who is d cause of all manifestations is d Lord of us all. He is to be worshipped for final redemption. (Sp 108)
All human beings on this Earth shall worship him [Lord Krishna] knowing that there is no other way for ultimate redemption than devotion to him(113)
Who Should We Meditate Upon?
Lord Krishna, his expansions n his dietys alone are to be meditated upon, but a human being or a deva even though he may be a devotee or knower of Brahman shall never be resorted to as an object of meditation. (115)
of either stone or metal or a shaligram with offerings procurable within ones own means, and then chant his holy name. (56)
Who Should We Offer Food To?
They shall then offer food to God and take prasad only frm d offered dish. Thus, in a spirit of supreme love n dedication they should serve Sri Krishna. (58)
Those votaries shall never drink water or eat roots, fruits or like without offering the same to Shree Krishna. (60)
May Lord Shree Krishna, the destroyer of all miseries of his devotees, the defender of Dharma and Bhakti and the giver of all cherished objects, spread his goodness and glory every where. (212)
Baps is a Pseudo sect don't call yourself a follower of Swaminaryan.
Im the true follower of swaminarayan, I follow his teachings 100%, the Sikhsapatri. Which states Krishna is the supreme and only he should be worshipped.
hahahahah oh my God....well i really dont think you are a follower of the sikshapatri let alone being a follower of Bhagwan Swaminarayan... the shikshapatri teaches you to speak with dignity and never swear..worlds like rascal don't help.. clearly you don't follow the most basic of commands of the shikshapatri...what hypocrisy is this..lol..
A woman who staunchly remains loyal to her husband is a Pativrata. The Ramayan mentions that an ideal Pativrata will not see another man other than her husband even in her dreams. In the Shikshapatri (159) Bhagwan Swaminarayan stipulates that a Pativrata should serve her husband as she would serve and worship God, even if the husband is blind, diseased, poor or impotent
Bhagwan swaminarayan showed this principle through his devotion to lord Krishna... In addition Bhagwan swaminarayan says in the Vachnamruth ( The principle scripture of the Swaminarayan Sampraday) that he is supreme God....you would know if you read it....
Bhagwan Swaminarayan elaborates moksha or final emancipation, known as Atyantik Mukti in the Sampradaya, in the following manner :
Jiva is bound by avidya-karma (Maya). This is ignorance, a delusion of the Jiva. Therefore, in order to be rid of this ignorance, the Jiva has to develop Atmanishtha - the knowledge that he is not the body, but Atma.
But to transcend Maya, this type of mere (samanya) Atmanishtha is not enough. A higher (vishesh) Atmanishtha needs to be realised - in which the Atma identifies itself with Aksharbrahman to become Akshar-rup - like Akshar. This is known as true Jnan and true Atmanishtha.
The liberated soul, Akshar mukta, then becomes eligible to worship Parabrahman - the Lord Purushottam, in Akshardham2. This is in consonance with the Taittiriya Upanishad:3
'Attaining' Parabrahman does not mean merging in Him, as water merges with water, or light into light. The servitor - Master relationship - Swami-sevak bhava, always prevails.4 The individuality of the sevak - the mukta always remains.
To become Akshar-rup, the Jiva has to associate with the Satpurush who is the manifest form of Aksharbrahman, the living embodiment of Ekantik Dharma, known also as Bhagawata Dharma in the Shrimad Bhagwatam. Only then does the gateway of moksha open for the Jiva when he associates with the Satpurush.5
In the Swaminarayan Sampradaya, its founder, Bhagwan Swaminarayan is worshipped as Parabrahman (Purushottam), the Supreme Reality, while Gunatitanand Swami, His ideal Bhakta, is worshipped as Aksharbrahman. Aksharbrahman occupies the same place which Shri Laxmi and Radha occupy in the Vaishnav schools of Vedanta. Therefore in spite of being a form of pure Vaishnavism, it is popularly known as Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sampradaya, and its philosophy is best described as Neo-Vishishtadvaita.
After incarnating on earth, Parabrahman Bhagwan Swaminarayan, manifests continuously through the Gunatit Guru, the Param Ekantik Sadhu, the living embodiment of Aksharbrahman. Today, His Divine Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj, is the current manifest form of Aksharbrahman.
Bhagwan Swaminarayan's philosophy, known as Navya Vishishtadvaita (Neo-qualified non-dualism), upholds the existence of the five eternal realities, namely: Jiva, Ishwar, Maya, Brahman and Parabrahman.1
Jiva (Soul) is sentient (chaitanya), subtle and is the knower (jnata) and enjoyer (bhokta) of things. He is immutable, unpierceable, indivisible and eternal. Jivas are infinite in number and bound by vasana (impressions and desires from past births and present birth) according to their karmas.
Ishwars transcend Jiva. Each Ishwar (Krishna) is a conscious spiritual being, possessing excellence involved in the creation, sustenance and destruction of the universe. They also are infinite in number and bound by Maya. Parabrahman is the inner Ruler and Controller (antaryamin) of both Jiva and Ishwar (Krishna). Just as the gross, subtle and causal are the three bodies of Jiva, similarly, Virat, Sutratma and Avyakrut are the three bodies of Ishwar.
Maya or Prakruti is trigunatmika - consisting of the three gunas - sattva, rajas and tamas. Its nature is of ignorance and darkness, and is also the instrument - shakti of Parabrahman. It is non-sentient primordial matter out of which the whole universe is evolved. Difficult to transcend, it is the cause of attachment of the Jivas and Ishwars to their bodies and bodily relations.
Brahman, also known as Akshar, is the highest eternal reality beyond which stands only Purushottam or Parabrahman. Akshar as - personal (sakar) is the choicest devotee, eternally in the service of Lord Purushottam, in the highest abode.
service of Lord Purushottam, in the highest abode.
This same Akshar, also serves Lord Purushottam as His infinitely effulgent abode (Dham), wherein Lord Purushottam and innumerable released souls reside.
It is the same Akshar who, as infinite, homogeneous, all-pervading, sentient - space (Chidakash) pervades within and without an infinite number of universes and every element thereof.
service of Lord Purushottam, in the highest abode.
This same Akshar, also serves Lord Purushottam as His infinitely effulgent abode (Dham), wherein Lord Purushottam and innumerable released souls reside.
It is the same Akshar who, as infinite, homogeneous, all-pervading, sentient - space (Chidakash) pervades within and without an infinite number of universes and every element thereof.
And, it is the same Akshar, who in the form of the Param Ekantik Sadhu, perennially manifests on earth to redeem the seekers of moksha. Akshar is also the medium who embodies Lord Purushottam fully in his person.
Parabrahman or Purushottam, is the Supreme Reality. He possesses an infinite number of kalyankari (redemptive) attributes. He transcends Jiva, Ishwar, Maya and Brahman, and is immanent in them, they being absolutely dependent on Him.
He is the cause, controller, sustainer, redeemer, the support of all and dispenser of the fruits of all karmas. He alone is independent.
He is also the indwelling spirit, antaryamin, of the other four realities. He is eternally full of divine bliss and has eternally a divine form, shaped like a human being. Nothing transcends Parabrahman.
He is the goal for meditational worship - of upasana, by all, including Aksharbrahman. He is one and unparalleled and is commonly known as Paramatma, Param-Purush, Parameshwar, Purna Purushottam and Narayan.
i don't know what you have against BAPS but the belief that Bhagwan Swaminarayan is supreme God is accepted by the ENTIRE swaminarayan sampraday...so if you think that lord Krishna is supreme God then you really cannot call your self swaminarayan...so please don't go around pointing fingers like a baby..you have some growing up to do...
He alone is the destroyer of all pains and sufferings.
He is the protector and upholder of morality, religion and devotion on the earth. He is the Moral Governor, and the bestower of all desired happiness. O, Lord! Bless mankind with universal good and an auspicious life.
hmm..heheh...my friend BAPS is the leader in Hinduism today...it is the face of Hinduism...what do you know about Vedic culture...if i start reciting the Upanishads which prove Akshar ( the great saint ) i think you will be mind boggled ..
ah yes you are right this age is going to be filled with many false gurus....but you cannot call a guru false with out knowing him...if this were the case then there would be no way of finding the real guru...you should hear the talks of Pramukh Swami maharaj..for he is the incarnation of Akshar ( Brahman)...this is no moksh without realizing this...
You fake Baps, Here we r discussing about Swami Narayans Godship, Dont give ur lecture on moksha, karma, maya, goodness, wifes chastity, what Swami Narayan did and didn't do
Dear BAPS issue with you is
1)Where is d scriptural authority for S Narayans Godship Just quote 1 verse from shastras like Puranas, Gita, Bhagvatam, Upanishads, 4 vedas etc
Or references from sampraday Gurus like Ramanuja, Madhava, nimbarka, vallabha, Vishnuswami or
from authorities like vyasadev, sukadev, narada, Asita... It is shocking to hear someone like Swami Narayan accepted (even higher than Krsna) without any scriptural authority from Guru, sadhu, shastra
2. How come ur bhagavan, who is not just equal to Hari but even higher thn Vishnu, krisna everyone, missing in Shastras
3. Why did ur Swayam Bhagvan, higher than Krsna Swami Narayan, bowed, offered-food, prayed, chanted, worshipped Krishna and established temples for Krishna-worship and
4. You are telling that in Vachnamrut, Swami Narayan says He is God. Bear in Mind, Vachanamrut is not written by S Narayan, and ITS COMPILED BY HIS DISCIPLES, and its not vedic. It has no value, it is shocking that you accept someone even higher than Hari based on someones Pseudo writings.
All you Baps out there, We have to look through the eyes of Guru, sadhu, shastra and not our sentiment or someones scholarship
what? the vachnamruth was written in the presence of Lord Swaminarayan and he approved it himself...you have never even read the principle scripture of the swaminarayan sampraday...and you go around blabbering..in the end Bhagwan swaminarayan himself approves the scripture...haha...i suggest you read it..
Baps, you r insane, you dint respond to d questions which I asked.
So this is the proof 1
GHANASYAM SHAJANAND SWAMI IS NOT NARAYANA (Maha Vishnu) or PARABRAHMAN or PURUSHOTHAM
Proof2
U dint give any evidence fm shastra and vedic authorities. Because u can,t, since there is no mention of Ghansyam sahajanand as NARAYANA anywhere in the scriptures. Vedic Literatures r full of descriptions of Krsna as d SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD even ur shiksapatri states this fact The paramatama
Sri Krsna is, Parabrahman, Bhagwan, Purushottam and is the cause of all manifestations and is the Lord of us all. He is to be worshipped for final redemption(Sp 108)
Proof 3
You dint answer why ur so called Narayana was bowing, praying, worshipping Krsna. If he is really higher than Krsna why would he do any of this things and why would he glorify and establish temples with Krsna in the centre and say Krisna Conscious stuff in shiksapatri. This is the proof he is not Supreme
Shiksapatri and vachnamrut is contradicting each other. So there is a mistake or interpolation. Truth is one, There cannot b 2 versions of Truth (Vachanamrut is spoiled n perverted by Baps great scholars who compiled vachanamruth n rubber stamped Sahajanand foolishly into Parabrahman Narayana status by their rascal scholarship)
Proof5
whenever god appears, he appears as he himself in his eternal, blissful spiritual (Sat cit ananda) form. He never takes material human form like ur Shajanand
For instance when Krsna appeared at the end of Dwarpur yug He appeared has he himself in his original spiritual form n not like ur swami Naryana who appeared like human after suffering 9 months pregnancy (see Bhag 10th canto to know how Krishna appeard) n God never grows old like ur Shajanand swami, God is always ever youthful. Krsna was ever youthful like a 16 year old throughout his125 years on this planet
Proof 6 Krsna God showed his Vishwa rupa form with entire cosmic manifestation
with billions and trillions of material n spiritual universes, n later his four handed Narayana form and did many innumerable exemplary godhead acts which is neither possible for demigods like Brahma or shiva nor demons - sahajanand swami didnt do any such godhead acts
Proof 7
God always mentions his appearnces n Incarnations in Vedic scriptures with time, place, parents, circumstance, activities and so on, Just to stop d rubber stamping of Godhood fm sai babas, Pseudo Kalki bhagvans
Baps swami narayans from claiming Godship, For instance Buddha, Chaitanya and Kalki were all mentioned in Vedas so people accept them. ur Narayana swami is nowhere mentioned anywhere in Vedas
so
I think You people r rascals you have no idea what is God, you r only doing offence to the guru sahajanand by all ur this rascaldom.
Throughout his writings and teachings he states KRSNA AS THE SUPREME AND ASKED EVERYONE TO WORSHIP HIM ONLY, cant understand why you people are not following his
instructions how can you please him without obeying his instructions
Check this link
stephen-knapp . com / sri_krishna.htm
It gives 100s of proofs throughout vedic literatures showing Krsna as the supreme Godhead, The parabrahman and as the source of even Narayana (Maha Vishnu), and other subordinate Vishnus and demigods All the Vaishnava sampradayas (Ramanuja, Madva, chaitanya, Nimbarka, vallabha) accept Krsna as the supreme personality of Godhead.
Lord Krishna also says in the Bhagvad Gitã: Because I am transcendental, beyond both kshar and Akshar, and because I am the greatest, I am described in this world and in the Vedãs as Purushottam.1 Only those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond mãyã.2 I am the fire of digestion in the bodies of all living entities.3 O Arjuna! There is no truth superior to Me.4 Considering the words of these bhaktas or avatãrs describing themselves as Purushottam,
again i don't know why you single out BAPS....this is the agreement in the entire swaminarayan sampraday....if you don't agree with it fine....thats your view and you are entitled to it....but i want you going around like a crazy monkey talking crap....again you use words like rascal...does Lord Krishna teach you this? and you call your self his follower...what a joke...
false Narayanas like sahajanand because people have no idea what god is I think had Shriji Maharaj had revealed his true identity as GOD Narayana, by showing his Vishwa rupa like Krsna, everybody world hv joined his new faith, simply by seeing his power, opulence, wonder, richness and many pious people out of love, and other demoniacs out of fear
He need not have bowed, prayed, worshiped and opened temples for his subordinate (krsna) to attract people to his new faith
Why is ur Sahajãnand Swãmi avatãri of all avatãrs cause of all causes is not mentioned anywhere in Scriptures
How come ur God took birth like an ordinary Human, suffering birth, old age, death etc (God never comes under material modes accepting material form,His body is sat cid ananda, Theres no difference between Gods body and his Soul)
Why all d vedic literatures n acharyas Instead of Sahajannd Swami hv describd Sri Krsna
as the supreme Godhead, avatari of all avatars, cause of all causes.
See the following quotes from BS n Bhagavatam
Krsna is the supreme personality of Godhead, He has an eternal blissful, spiritual body, He is the origin of all and He has no other origin n he is the prime cause of all causes (Brahma Samhita 5.1)
Maha-Vishnu(Narayana), the Creator of the cosmic manifestation, and Garbhodakashayi Vishnu, the expansion in each universe, are plenary portions of Lord Krishna. The Supreme
Lord Sri Krishna, expanding His plenary portion as Maha-Vishnu, the first incarnation, creates this manifold cosmos, but He is unborn. The creation, however, takes place in Him, and the material substance and manifestations are all Himself. He maintains them for some time and absorbs them into Himself again. (Bhag.2.6.39)
-Why is Ur Narayan, sahajanand instead of saying I am the lord of everyone and Avatari, He is saying
Sri Krsna is, Parabrahman Bhagwan purusotham and is d cause of all
mr john mccarthy obviouly didnt research much before making the documentary else he wudnt use innacurate data and information.so mahy gods one cant put a number on it?get ur facts right sir!!!

For thousands of years, the Jews were surrounded by people who believed the earth was flat. They believed that if they were to travel too far in any direction, they would fall over the edge. This was also taught in both Hindu and Buddhist scripture. In the 1500’s however, the first ship sailed around the world, proving that the earth was round.

(PS BAPS is now a 100 years old and still looks like it has not developed its peak. I reacently visited India and know that everyday projects are compleated, and more arise in India and abroad: schools, hospitals, museaums, temples, and many other community and spiritual projects.
maharajswami1916 1 year ago
BAPS is just a business nothing more and nothing less. And like every business - it will eventually crumble, no matter how much you try to save it. They believe that their pramuk swami is at the same level as Lord Swaminarayan. What I believe is no mortal man can ever call himself God unless he is able to prove it. And believe me, pramunk swami is not God or near any level close to God. A mortal man should never have the right to have his place in a singhasan. Just wait until the truth is out.

ha! LOL! I love how people are so stupid (IE gooslimm) Followers of Pramukh Swami Maharaj do not beleive he is God but they believe he is is Guru that can lead them to God. A guru has a place on a singhasan (Guru Govind Dono khade kisko laagu paay balihari gurudevaki jisne Godind diyo paay) Hope you learn to read before you preach!

As (maharajswami1916) said look at the growth development BAPS holds today and talking about pramukh swami maharaj, just see how the worlds presidents respect him. do you think they are fools?

@gooslimm lol! secondly, about the BUSINESS which BAPS holds, did they ever come and beg any money from your pocket? no right... so why does it pain behind your back?

@gooslimm thirdly, about what you said "a mortal man should never have the right to have his place in the singhasan", have you ever read the scriputures? i bet by the way you talk, i dont think so... anyways go and read the scriptures and realize where they talk about AKSHAR BHARHM. Just wait until you realise the truth. if you dont find anything in the scriputres.. then you talk about the truth.. get it?

HINDU DEVI-DEVTAS ARE in millions, but their collective powers is ONE ISHVER. These BAPS temple have only mini idols of RAAMA,KRISHNA,SHIVA etc...They essentially believe in SWAMI NARAYAN, THE PREACHER. In Hinduism as a whole this title is for ISHVER(GOD).

The reason is quite clear: Ours is a Teacher faith, theirs is a King religion - God made in the image of a King. Kings issue commands, orders & judgements. Before the King, one kneels and shakes with fear, for this man could order his death. The King's word is law, no democracy here. Kingdom is for loyalists only - hence segregated heavens for members only. There can be only one king - hence the hatred towards others "disloyal" to the king

Glad to be born a Hindu. Go to muslim or christian videos and look for a Hindu deragatory comments - you won't find one. They don't teach abuse and bigotry in our temples - we are happy with our faith, why can't you be with yours? Are muslims and christians jealous of our faith?

The Largest Hindu temple in d world is in Cambodia (Angkor Wat) and in India its in south india, Sri rangam n Meenakshi Temple. And in the North Taj Mahal, ancient 12 century shiva temple robbed by Mus.

I belong to Madhava cum chaitanya tradition.
Stupid Jesus is a saint and spiritual master like swami narayan, prabhupada, ramanuja, Madavacharya, vishnu swami, nimbarka, alwars etc

1)christos (Greek), christ and krishna looks very alike. In sanskrit krista=krishna means all attractive and Krishna means the all attractive one.
Jesus is like any of our acharyas who preached god consciousness according time, place, circumstance and to people who are like mlechhas.

sonnyg121 2 years ago
A woman who staunchly remains loyal to her husband is a Pativrata. The Ramayan mentions that an ideal Pativrata will not see another man other than her husband even in her dreams. In the Shikshapatri (159) Bhagwan Swaminarayan stipulates that a Pativrata should serve her husband as she would serve and worship God, even if the husband is blind, diseased, poor or impotent
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Bhagwan swaminarayan showed this principle through his devotion to lord Krishna... In addition Bhagwan swaminarayan says in the Vachnamruth ( The principle scripture of the Swaminarayan Sampraday) that he is supreme God....you would know if you read it....
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Bhagwan Swaminarayan elaborates moksha or final emancipation, known as Atyantik Mukti in the Sampradaya, in the following manner :
Jiva is bound by avidya-karma (Maya). This is ignorance, a delusion of the Jiva. Therefore, in order to be rid of this ignorance, the Jiva has to develop Atmanishtha - the knowledge that he is not the body, but Atma.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
But to transcend Maya, this type of mere (samanya) Atmanishtha is not enough. A higher (vishesh) Atmanishtha needs to be realised - in which the Atma identifies itself with Aksharbrahman to become Akshar-rup - like Akshar. This is known as true Jnan and true Atmanishtha.
The liberated soul, Akshar mukta, then becomes eligible to worship Parabrahman - the Lord Purushottam, in Akshardham2. This is in consonance with the Taittiriya Upanishad:3
Brahmavid apnoti Param.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
i.e. One who knows Brahman attains Parabrahman.
'Attaining' Parabrahman does not mean merging in Him, as water merges with water, or light into light. The servitor - Master relationship - Swami-sevak bhava, always prevails.4 The individuality of the sevak - the mukta always remains.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
To become Akshar-rup, the Jiva has to associate with the Satpurush who is the manifest form of Aksharbrahman, the living embodiment of Ekantik Dharma, known also as Bhagawata Dharma in the Shrimad Bhagwatam. Only then does the gateway of moksha open for the Jiva when he associates with the Satpurush.5
sonnyg121 2 years ago
In the Swaminarayan Sampradaya, its founder, Bhagwan Swaminarayan is worshipped as Parabrahman (Purushottam), the Supreme Reality, while Gunatitanand Swami, His ideal Bhakta, is worshipped as Aksharbrahman. Aksharbrahman occupies the same place which Shri Laxmi and Radha occupy in the Vaishnav schools of Vedanta. Therefore in spite of being a form of pure Vaishnavism, it is popularly known as Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sampradaya, and its philosophy is best described as Neo-Vishishtadvaita.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
After incarnating on earth, Parabrahman Bhagwan Swaminarayan, manifests continuously through the Gunatit Guru, the Param Ekantik Sadhu, the living embodiment of Aksharbrahman. Today, His Divine Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj, is the current manifest form of Aksharbrahman.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Bhagwan Swaminarayan's philosophy, known as Navya Vishishtadvaita (Neo-qualified non-dualism), upholds the existence of the five eternal realities, namely: Jiva, Ishwar, Maya, Brahman and Parabrahman.1
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Jiva (Soul) is sentient (chaitanya), subtle and is the knower (jnata) and enjoyer (bhokta) of things. He is immutable, unpierceable, indivisible and eternal. Jivas are infinite in number and bound by vasana (impressions and desires from past births and present birth) according to their karmas.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Ishwars transcend Jiva. Each Ishwar (Krishna) is a conscious spiritual being, possessing excellence involved in the creation, sustenance and destruction of the universe. They also are infinite in number and bound by Maya. Parabrahman is the inner Ruler and Controller (antaryamin) of both Jiva and Ishwar (Krishna). Just as the gross, subtle and causal are the three bodies of Jiva, similarly, Virat, Sutratma and Avyakrut are the three bodies of Ishwar.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Maya or Prakruti is trigunatmika - consisting of the three gunas - sattva, rajas and tamas. Its nature is of ignorance and darkness, and is also the instrument - shakti of Parabrahman. It is non-sentient primordial matter out of which the whole universe is evolved. Difficult to transcend, it is the cause of attachment of the Jivas and Ishwars to their bodies and bodily relations.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Brahman, also known as Akshar, is the highest eternal reality beyond which stands only Purushottam or Parabrahman. Akshar as - personal (sakar) is the choicest devotee, eternally in the service of Lord Purushottam, in the highest abode.

service of Lord Purushottam, in the highest abode.
This same Akshar, also serves Lord Purushottam as His infinitely effulgent abode (Dham), wherein Lord Purushottam and innumerable released souls reside.

Parabrahman or Purushottam, is the Supreme Reality. He possesses an infinite number of kalyankari (redemptive) attributes. He transcends Jiva, Ishwar, Maya and Brahman, and is immanent in them, they being absolutely dependent on Him.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
He is the cause, controller, sustainer, redeemer, the support of all and dispenser of the fruits of all karmas. He alone is independent.
He is also the indwelling spirit, antaryamin, of the other four realities. He is eternally full of divine bliss and has eternally a divine form, shaped like a human being. Nothing transcends Parabrahman.

Akshardhãm is the divine abode of Lord Swãminãrãyan. It is
distinct and above the abodes of other incarnations and
demigods. As ordained by God, other incarnations, devotees
and demigods reside in different abodes. Nishkulãnand
Swãmi explains:
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Brahmas abode is Satyaloka. And Kailãs is the abode of Shiva.
Vishnus abode is Vaikunth. They each have separate abodes given by
God.
Indra is placed in Amarãvati. And Sheshjis place is in Pãtãl.
Wherever ordained by God, they happily live forever.
Rushishwar lives under Badri. The Nirannamuktas stay in Shvetdweep.
The Gopas and Gopis are placed in Golok. The Akshar muktas are in
close proximity with God Himself.
[Nishkulãnand Kãvyam: Vachan Vidhi 37]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Barring Akshardhãm, the remaining lokas are enwrapped in
mãyã, and are subject to the triple misfortunes. Sadguru
Muktãnand Swãmi says:
CHAUD LOKA VAIKUNTH LAGI, MÃYÃNI PÃGI RE;
TETHI ANUBHAVI ALAGÃ RAHE, TRAYA TÃP ÃGI RE.
Vaikunth and the fourteen lokas are under the spell of mãyã.
The wise shun them to escape from the triple misfortunes.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Akshardhãm transcends mãyã and hence is immune from the
three types of miseries. The bliss in Akshardhãm is therefore
incomparable. Shriji Mahãrãj explains: The mundane and ultra-mundane happiness is insignificant before the happiness
offered by Vaikunth loka, which again is insignificant before the
bliss offered by Golok, which again is far far less in intensity
than the profound bliss offered by Akshardhãm, the ultimate
abode of God. [Vachanãmritam Panchãlã 1]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Nishkulãnand Swãmi also says:
JEH DHÃMNE PÃMINE PRÃNI, PÃCHHU PADVÃNU NATHI RE,
SARVE PAR CHHE SUKHNI KHÃNI, KEVU KAHIE TENE KATHI RE.
ANANT MUKTA JYÃ ÃNANDE BHARIYÃ,

sonnyg121 2 years ago
The ultimate divine abode is from where there is no return.
An indescribable reservoir of sublime happiness, it is beyond all.
Where, in close proximity of God, live infinite muktas; full of infinite
bliss.
They live as if in the midst of oceans of utter happiness.
Gods divine abode (Akshardhãm) is unique and incomparable with
other abodes.
[Chosath Padi 55-56]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Therefore, Shriji Mahãrãj says that the bliss offered by His
divine abode is so infinitely overwhelming that in comparison
to it, the happiness offered by the lokas of the demigods is
described in Mokshadharma as utterly infernal. [Vachanãmritam
Sãrangpur 1, 4, 11; Gadhadã III/28]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
At times, Shriji Mahãrãj has described His own supremacy.
Normally, God in human incarnation conceals His divinity
and limitless powers. He hesitates in speaking about His
divine form because: To know God in human form is really
very difficult. Such revelation before the assembly is likely to be misunderstood in as much as it may not appeal to some,
who may consequently leave this Holy Fellowship.
[Vachanãmritam Loyã 18]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Lord Krishnas and other incarnations were to serve a
specific purpose such as defeating the demons. Having

Lord Swãminãrãyan incarnated to brahmanise (make
Brahmarup) the jivas and to grant them ultimate salvation,
thereby ensuring permanent liberation from the cycle of births

While explaining cosmic evolution, Shriji Mahãrãj has
clearly distinguished the position of different demigods,
Ishwars, their evolution, etc. Philosophically there are five anãdi
bheds eternal entities. Jivas and devas belong to any one of
four categories: Udbhij, Jarãyuj, Swedaj and Andaj i.e. born
from womb, earth, sweat or egg. Everyone from Virãt to

Prakriti Purush are all included in Ishwar. Mãyã is Gods shakti.
Mãyã merges in the light of Aksharbrahman [Nishkulãnand
Kãvyam: Purushottam Prakãsh 10, 19, 20]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Shriji Mahãrãj says: Jiva, Ishwar, mãyã, Brahman and
Parabrahman are the five eternal entities according to the Vedãs,
Purãnas, Itihãsa and Smritis.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
The phenomenon of the cosmic
evolution is explained thus: Mãyã is the symbolic form of earth
potentially bearing an infinite number of seeds. Ishwar is the
symbolic form of rain. When the rain falls, the seeds within
the earth grow. Seeds are the jivas. In the way Ishwar and mãyã
are eternal, jivas are also eternal, but they are not the amshas of
God.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
The jiva when it takes refuge in God transgresses
mãyã, becomes brahmanised like Nãrada and the Sanaks, and
resides in the abode of God as His graced servant. This is the
philosophical truth as propounded by Me. [Vachanãmritam
Gadhadã III/10]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Shriji Mahãrãj explains the process of evolution: God, who
transcends Akshar, looks at Akshar at the time of the cosmic
evolution. Akshar therefore inspires Purush, who was resting in
a dormant state, into activity. Purushottam through Akshar
enters Purush by means of His antaryãmi shakti and inspires
Prakriti to a process of procreation.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
The union of Purush with
Prakriti brings forth Pradhãn Purush. The ubiquitous presence
of Purushottam by His antaryãmi shakti began to be felt in
the various entities created in the process of procreation, of
course in a graded form, according to the power to sustain
and exhibit His shakti.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
From Pradhãn Purush evolved Mahattattva and from
Mahattattva, the ego in three forms. From the ego evolved the
panchbhutas, the panchvishayas, indriyas, the antahkaran and the
presiding deities. Virãt then evolved from the above. From the
navel of Virãt emerged Brahmã, and Brahmã created Marich,
Prajãpati, etc. From them evolved Kashyap, Prajãpati and from
them evolved deities such as Indra, the demons and the
apparent universe. [Vachanãmritam Gadhadã I/41]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
When Parabrahman Paramãtman desires to create the
universe, He looks at His eternal devotee Akshar. Knowing His
Lords Parabrahman Paramãtmans wish, Akshar looks at
Purush (Akshar mukta or Akshar Purush) and inspires him to
abide by the will of Purushottam. Therefore, the Aksharãtmak
Mukta Purush, to fulfil Parabrahmans desire, unites with
Mahãmãyã and activates infinite Pradhãn (females) and Purush
(males), which had until then been lying dormant in mãyã
since the time of dissolution.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Thus, through Pradhãn and Purush, the entire cosmos comes into existence

The Shrutis pronounce:
EKAMEVÃDWITIYAM BRAHMA
God is only one and unique.
Clarifying this basic principle, Shriji Mahãrãj says:
Nãrãyan is one and unparalleled; none can attain that
Godship, which is the sole monopoly of Nãrãyan.
[Vachanãmritam Loyã 13, Kãriyãni 8, Kãriyãni 10]

The Upanishads also reiterate this point: NA TATSAMASHCHÃPYADHIKASHCHA DRISHYATE æ
None can ever equal or surpass Parabrahman.

Baps, you r insane, you dint respond to d questions which I asked.
So this is the proof 1
GHANASYAM SHAJANAND SWAMI IS NOT NARAYANA (Maha Vishnu) or PARABRAHMAN or PURUSHOTHAM
Proof2
U dint give any evidence fm shastra and vedic authorities. Because u can,t, since there is no mention of Ghansyam sahajanand as NARAYANA anywhere in the scriptures. Vedic Literatures r full of descriptions of Krsna as d SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD even ur shiksapatri states this fact The paramatama
SathuGopa 2 years ago
c2
Sri Krsna is, Parabrahman, Bhagwan, Purushottam and is the cause of all manifestations and is the Lord of us all. He is to be worshipped for final redemption(Sp 108)
Proof 3
You dint answer why ur so called Narayana was bowing, praying, worshipping Krsna. If he is really higher than Krsna why would he do any of this things and why would he glorify and establish temples with Krsna in the centre and say Krisna Conscious stuff in shiksapatri. This is the proof he is not Supreme
Proof 4
SathuGopa 2 years ago
Shiksapatri and vachnamrut is contradicting each other. So there is a mistake or interpolation. Truth is one, There cannot b 2 versions of Truth (Vachanamrut is spoiled n perverted by Baps great scholars who compiled vachanamruth n rubber stamped Sahajanand foolishly into Parabrahman Narayana status by their rascal scholarship)
Proof5
whenever god appears, he appears as he himself in his eternal, blissful spiritual (Sat cit ananda) form. He never takes material human form like ur Shajanand
SathuGopa 2 years ago
c4
For instance when Krsna appeared at the end of Dwarpur yug He appeared has he himself in his original spiritual form n not like ur swami Naryana who appeared like human after suffering 9 months pregnancy (see Bhag 10th canto to know how Krishna appeard) n God never grows old like ur Shajanand swami, God is always ever youthful. Krsna was ever youthful like a 16 year old throughout his125 years on this planet
Proof 6 Krsna God showed his Vishwa rupa form with entire cosmic manifestation
SathuGopa 2 years ago
c5
with billions and trillions of material n spiritual universes, n later his four handed Narayana form and did many innumerable exemplary godhead acts which is neither possible for demigods like Brahma or shiva nor demons - sahajanand swami didnt do any such godhead acts
Proof 7
God always mentions his appearnces n Incarnations in Vedic scriptures with time, place, parents, circumstance, activities and so on, Just to stop d rubber stamping of Godhood fm sai babas, Pseudo Kalki bhagvans
SathuGopa 2 years ago
c6
Baps swami narayans from claiming Godship, For instance Buddha, Chaitanya and Kalki were all mentioned in Vedas so people accept them. ur Narayana swami is nowhere mentioned anywhere in Vedas
so
I think You people r rascals you have no idea what is God, you r only doing offence to the guru sahajanand by all ur this rascaldom.
Throughout his writings and teachings he states KRSNA AS THE SUPREME AND ASKED EVERYONE TO WORSHIP HIM ONLY, cant understand why you people are not following his

During the time of Shriji Mahãrãj, there were
many faiths and cults, some of which expounded irreligious
practices, accepted false gurus, believed in superstitions and
indulged in black magic. Their influence was widespread. All
of these fiercely opposed the new Faith. In such trying times,
if any person tried to identify himself as God, people would
be reluctant to join the Faith out of sheer dismay.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
The
acceptance of a new idea is always gradual. Shriji Mahãrãj was
therefore identified initially as a Satpurush, then as an avatãr
and finally as Purushottam the avatãri of all avatãrs. As the
aspirants faith in Him deepened, the paramhansas depicted
Shriji Mahãrãj in inspiring and enlightening terms.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
In the initial stages, Muktãnand Swãmi recognised Shriji
Mahãrãj as Sadguru. In the ãrti composed at Kãlwãni, he
wrote, Jai Sadguru Swãmi; in the next stage as Krishna
Chhãndi ke Shri Krishna dev and finally as Purushottam Mãi
me Purushottam var pãyo and Piyã pãyã to fir kyã sonã. This
illustrates his gradual realisation of Shriji Mahãrãjs
supremacy.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
To attract people, Shriji Mahãrãj installed the images of
those deities at the places where they were popularly
worshipped. Their devotees came for their darshan. By
subsequent association with the sãdhus, they developed
unshakeable faith in Shriji Mahãrãjs supreme and sublime
form. Gradually, the true upãsanã began to be widely accepted
in the Sampradãya
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Eminent sadgurus explain with a simple illustration
Sthulãrundhati Nyãya i.e. when a child is shown the crescent
moon, the moon is pointed out to be on that roof. The roof is
merely mentioned to locate the moon. This does not mean that the moon is actually on the roof. In reality, the moon is far
away. Similarly, to explain the glory of Lord Purushottam, He
was initially identified as a Satpurush, then as an avatãr, and
finally as avatãri.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
In certain Vachanãmritams, Shriji Mahãrãj is identified as
Lord Krishna. At various places, Shriji Mahãrãj has called
Himself a preceptor, guru, Ãchãrya, sãdhu, or sãdhak. But to the
genuine aspirant, the God whom he is worshipping is
supreme and above all. To him, lesser descriptions are meant
for others. He only pays heed to the words which refer to His
Lords supremacy. Shriji Mahãrãj has given the same directive
in Shikshãpatri:
sonnyg121 2 years ago
The quotations from these scriptures which describe the transcendent
glory of Lord Krishna and which give a superlatively elegant
exposition of dharma, bhakti and vairãgya should be regarded as
fundamental truths, compared with various other quotations. The
quintessence of these chosen scriptures is devotion to God with
observance of dharma.
[Shikshãpatri 101-102]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Scriptural words which do not clearly define the supreme
form of God, or which inadequately describe His majestic
glory should not be accepted for understanding the genuine
upãsanã. As ordained by Shriji Mahãrãj, only those words
which express His supreme divine glory should be accepted.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Many saints and avatãrs have spoken of
themselves as Purushottam in the scriptures eg., Lord Kapil
has said:
Because of fear for Me the wind blows, the sun shines, the
God of rain Indra showers rain, the God of fire Agni burns
and the God of death all do their duties unhesitatingly.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
sonnyg121 2 years ago
who in reality is Purushottam?...well...
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Only Sahajãnand Swãmi (Lord Swãminãrãyan) is
Purushottam. According to His desire, the other avatãrs
descended on earth to redeem the jivas. At that time, it was
essential that people give up the irreligious ways and seek
refuge in them.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
To achieve this, Shriji Mahãrãj entered them
and uttered the above words. But only Purushottam Shriji
Mahãrãj can grant ultimate liberation. Without His entry,
even Virãt was helpless to do anything. No wonder then that
others cannot do anything. These above words are therefore
Lord Swãminãrãyans.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
With His entry, the powers of the
particular entity are suppressed and His own powers prevail.
That, however, does not make those avatãrs Purna Purushottam.
When Purushottam withdraws His powers, those avatãrs are
reduced to their original state.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
When Lord Purushottam Nãrãyan inspires Purush by His
antaryãmi shakti, the powers of Purush are suppressed, and
Purushottams influence prevails. Similarly, when Purushottam
is concomitant with mãyã, Mahattattva, the evolutes of
Mahattattva, etc., He suppresses their powers and
predominantly shines through all of them as Purushottam.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Therefore, when the powers of Purushottam are inducted
through all these different media for the execution of assigned
duties through them, Purushottam only, by the pre-eminence of
His powers, predominantly manifests through them... Lord
Purushottam manifests through a medium suppressing its
individuality and powers. And when He withdraws His
powers from the medium, the medium reverts to its original
state but lacks the pre-eminence of Purushottam.
[Vachanãmritam Panchãlã 7]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Avalbãs incident is well-known in the Sampradãya. When
she was engrossed in Shriji Mahãrãj, she felt the presence of
the Lord within her. In this superhuman state, she said that
she herself was Shriji Mahãrãj. When Shriji Mahãrãj left her,
she asked, Why are all of you sitting around me?"
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Similarly
when the Gopis, out of intense love, were lost in Shri
Krishna, they used to say, I have lifted the Govardhan
Mountain, I have killed Aghãsur... That, however, did not
imply that they were transformed into Krishna. Similarly the
examples of Vãmdev and Prahlãd in the scriptures are also
well-known.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Explaining this point in a simple manner, Gunãtitãnand
Swãmi recited the shloka, Madbhayãdvãti... and said:
Despite the show of immense powers, Lord Kapil only
managed to liberate his mother. The implication is that this
shloka refers to the glory of some other entity. But is in no
way an indication of his [Kapils] powers. [Swãmini Vãtu
III/72]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Therefore one should understand that words
indicative of supreme powers are in reality the words of Lord
Purushottam.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
The scriptures mention twenty-four avatãrs. At
other places, ten avatãrs are mentioned. But as described in
Shrimad Bhãgavatam, just as thousands of springs flow from an
inexhaustible lake, similarly from Shri Hari the reservoir of sattvaguna countless avatãrs emerge.1
The Bhagvad Gitã also proclaims:
BAHUNI ME VYATITÃNI JANMÃNI TAVA CHÃRJUNA æ
Oh Arjun! Many, many births both you and I have passed.
[Bhagvad Gitã IV/5]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Nishkulãnand Swãmi says, Sahajãnand Swãmi is the cause
of all these avatãrs. There are countless avatãrs. And
Purushottam Nãrãyan Shri Sahajãnand Swãmi is the avatãri of
all avatãrs and the cause of all causes.2
Hearing the prayer of the Vedãs, Purushottam Nãrãyan, with
utmost compassion for the jivas, descended to grant them final
redemption.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Shriji Mahãrãj Himself has written, The Vedãs prayed to
Me, asking Me to annihilate avidyã ignorance. Today, I am
fulfilling that promise.
Again Vairãt Nãrãyan continually prayed for fifty years
and four and a half hours of his time. Only then did Shriji
Mahãrãj come down to this universe for the first time. All the
followers in the Faith are well aware of this fact.
EVO KARYO MOTO UPKÃR, JEMÃ ANEK JANANO UDDHÃR.

His highest obligation has led to the liberation of many jivas.
[Bhaktachintãmani 83/45]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
This time Purushottam Nãrãyan Himself had descended.
Because all previous avatãrs failed to remove the primordial
ignorance. Tatsrishtvã tadanuprãvishat means that when
Vãsudev Nãrãyan as Purush inhabits Vairãt Purush, he is
recognised as an incarnation. That is to say, only after the
entry of Vãsudev, right from Purush up to Brahmã, are the
forms acknowledged as incarnations of God.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
Ãchãrya Shri Bhagvatprasãdji Mahãrãj, in the Sanskrit
commentary Bhaktamanoranjani on Shrimad Bhãgavatam writes,
Avatãrãn kramishyan prathamam purushãvatãramãha (III:3/1).
sonnyg121 2 years ago
In the sequential order of avatãrs, the foremost is Purushãvatãr.
Purushãvatãr is the source of creation and dissolution of
numerous minor avatãrs, and is simultaneously their prime
cause. This is how the twenty-four avatãrs came about.
Subsequently, there were scores of avatãrs of Shri Hari.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
But all
of them were partial, incomplete and served a limited
purpose. Since all of them, to a certain extent, possessed the
dignity and powers of Purushottam Nãrãyan, they are likely to
be treated as equal to one another. But Purushottam Nãrãyans
manifestation in all of them was not in the same measure.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
There were variations; hence the distinctions between various
avatãrs. Furthermore, there is the distinction of abodes also, as
each of the avatãrs have their own abodes. Explaining this
difference, Shriji Mahãrãj has said: Out of the various
incarnations emanating from Nãrãyan, I like Rishabhdev; then
Kapilji and Dattãtreya... I have no liking for the incarnations of
Matsya and Kurma. [Vachanãmritam Loyã 14]
sonnyg121 2 years ago
It is thus quite clear that Shriji Mahãrãj is supreme, the
ultimate avatãri of all avatãrs, and the ultimate cause of all
causes. Higher than all the demigods, Ishwars, avatãrs, Akshar
muktas and Mul Akshar, He is worthy to be worshipped by all.
He is the all-doer. He is always with a form. And He governs
all. None are beyond Him. Upãsanã thus involves offering
worship to Him with Brahmabhãv.
sonnyg121 2 years ago
In the Bhagvad Gitã, Rãmãyan and other scriptures, there are
numerous references to the Saints greatness and glory, as can
be seen from the following extracts:
