Swaminarayan Akshardham in New Delhi epitomises 10,000 years of Indian culture in all its breathtaking grandeur, beauty, wisdom and bliss. It brilliantly showcases the essence of India's ancient architecture, traditions and timeless spiritual messages. The Akshardham experience is an enlightening journey through India's glorious art, values and contributions for the progress, happiness and harmony of mankind. The grand, ancient-styled Swaminarayan Akshardham complex was built in only five years through the blessings of HDH Pramukh Swami Maharaj of the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) and the colossal devotional efforts of 11,000 artisans and BAPS volunteers. The complex was inaugurated on 6 November, 2005. Akshardham means the eternal, divine abode of the supreme God, the abode of eternal values and virtues of Akshar as defined in the Vedas and Upanishads where divine bhakti, purity and peace forever pervades.

Mar 3, 2007 - My dear friend, you have to understand, its not about shit, better shit or lesser known shit. I am not against swaminarayan sect or anything.

oddexistenz Says:

Mar 3, 2007 - I am against this short sightedness of the planners of the city disregarding the environment and most importantly Yamuna River, which is dying a slow death. Really good, that you are a civil engineer, plz start finding out facts about akshardham temple, if you fail to do so, then just check the master plan of DDA(delhi development authority) from 1960s, we did that, the results were shocking.

May 27, 2007 - There is always gonna be jealous people out there who will use enviroment and other bs excuses because they are simply jealous. Look at what BAPS have done through a social and economical way in this world and then comment on you nonsense enviromental crap....Jealousy is a sad thing..About the mandir being torn down and people made to vacate..again BS..you lot need to recheck yourselves before putting up crap...

celinamahek Says:

Jun 20, 2007 - shut the hell up. there are starving people in every country. BAPS does alot of charity work in India and abroad. The temple is for all Hindus, no matter what economic status they have. Get you head out of your ass, and get you facts straight. w w w .bapscharities. o r g /

celinamahek Says:

Jun 20, 2007 - you are not even Hindu. dipshit. Any one can enter a Swaminaryan temple, we don't follow "caste" it's a foreign corruption of Dharm. Varnashrama Dharm, is vedic. I wouldn't expect some lying sack of shit like you to know that much right?

celinamahek Says:

Jun 20, 2007 - true. Jai Swaminarayan. Lord Swaminarayan tought that envy(of the devotees of the Lord) is one of the greatest sins.

celinamahek Says:

Jun 20, 2007 - Envy One filled with the sense of sheer envy always feels absolutely belittled when anybody other than himself is honoured or respected. (Sar. -3) Under the vicious influence of envy, one is apt to malign a devotee. One should shed this instinct of envy totally. (Gad. I-4) If at all anyone sustains a feeling of envy for another, he should try to imbibe his virtues of which he falls short and for which he feels envy.(Gad. I-4)

Jun 5, 2008 - Indians and Pakistanis have the same ancestry and share the same DNA sequence. Here's what is happening in India: The two Ambani brothers can buy 100 percent of every company listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) and would still be left with $30 billion to spare. The four richest Indians can buy up all goods and services produced over a year by 169 million Pakistanis and still be left with $60 billion to spare. The four richest Indians are now richer than the forty richest Chinese.
