hey guys
i’ve been a BAPS believer for many years now. Our traditions are old aswell as our organisation. i think many people are too ignorant of the Baps Swaminarayan faith and are quick to bring about discrimination of women. Swaminarayan Bhagawan tells us in the Shikshapatri that men and women should worship separatively. the reason for this is because whilst worshipping,the mind should be focussed on God. Now imagine if an attractive man or women comes and sits next to you. Naturally your mind shifts onto them and the whole point of worshipping God is nullified. This is why we separate ourselves in the mandir. The reason why men lead the prayers in the temples is because the Swamis have renounced mundane life and observe what we call 8 fold celebicy. For this reason they are expected to keep their focus on God and not on mundane life. this is why they don’t look or touch women. their are extreme situations where they are allowed to such as when the life of a women is in danger. So in order to keep their focus on God they don’t look at women, touch money, et cetera. For this reason men take over the leadership roles in the organisation so that there is proper communication between the swamis and the leaders. it’s interesting to know that there are more men devotees in the organisation then men. Women do conduct their own sabhas where men are restricted. I hope this clears up some issues that people have. if you are still not satisfied, please feel free to contact me via email(kavirharilal@gmail.com)…Jai Swaminarayan

Great just great
This monstrosity will be in East Windsors back yard where I live. Most of the traffic congestion will most likely be in my town. Some of you say that our property will increase in value but that’s not a guarantee. I have seen the mess that was caused by the building of the temple on rt 1 in South Brunswick. What was once a lovely area is now congested and dirty. This will bring too many people to an infrastructure that will never be able to catch up. Hopefully my home will increase in value so I can sell it and move away before it gets too ugly.

I am Hindu and I am proud of it. I respect all Gods whether its Christians or Muslims or Sikhs or Persian, bcoz that is what hinduism is all about love and respect. What also bothered me is that does your Shikshapatri teach you to remove all the other Gods from your temple and just keep Swaminarayan God Pics? And the Gods in my temple were Ganpati, Krishna, Ram, all Matajis, Shivji. so why the discrimination amongst them? I understand that if the mandir is for particular God like Swaminarayan mandir has Swaminarayan Bhagwan and Ganesh Mandir has Ganesh, But a mandir at home who has all Gods are removed coz that monk is coming to bless the home. So what if they do Aarti in my mandir is it that they will do it just for it for Swaminaryan Bhagwan and not my Ganesh or Shivji, whereas at Swaminaryan temple itself has these Gods there. Why do you teach this differentiation to you followers?

@ jshop-
1)Your senario does not make sense, If i buy a ticket for the players lounge(which is my option to buy it or not) I’ll have previlage for it, but here I’m not given an option just because I am a female. Besides I am shocked with the rule that rule applies for liltle kids. Those Sadhus or monks should see God in those kids and not the sex of the kids. I guess that tells me that they are not ready to give up social life, coz if they really want to give up than nothing in the world should matter. Its like when you are fasting…. with your whole heart than it doesnot matter what other people are eating or there is food lying infront of you coz no one has forced you to fast.

2) I grew up in a city like Mumbai where there is scarcity of space, so when we had guest we were taught that they are like God, we always gave up our bedrooms to them whether they came for a day or for months. And we did it happily. And there were times we had to share room with them too, still we had them visiting us again and again coz we made them feel at home.

SO IF ITS ONE ROOF, ONE PLACE why is it here my friend you are refering GENTS AS OWNERS AND LADIES AS GUEST, THERE IS THE DISCRIMINATION. In your house is the female member treated like that as guest?
