THE SWAMINARAYAN SCHOOL,NAGPUR

OUR FOUNDATION – THE PHILOSOPHY The roots of The Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS Sanstha) reach back over two hundred fifty years in the teachings laid down by Lord Swaminarayan. The teachings of Lord Swaminarayan assure a steady life, free of worry and tension, safe from pain, passion and prejudice. He stressed that only pure at heart can see God and can be eternally liberated. To attain such refined purity a true Swaminarayan devotee sincerely observes a discipline of five codes: No addictionsNo stealingSpeak Only TruthMoral purityPure vegetarian diet And for total perfection , the Lord emphasized the need of the ideal devotee. Just as Lord Krishna is worshipped along with Radha as Radha-Krishna and Lord Rama with Sita as Sita-Rama , Lord Swaminarayan ( Purushottam )and his ideal devotee Swami Gunatitanand ( Akshar ) are worshipped together as “ Akshar Purushottam”.
