Is the Swaminarayan Sampraday a part of Hinduism?
“). Unity in diversity is one of the distinctive facets of Hinduism, allowing each aspirant to choose his own path for the same goal, moksha (ultimate liberation). The Swaminarayan Sampraday’s doctrine is firmly rooted in the ancient Hindu scriptures. There are many principles in the Hindu scriptures to which the Swaminarayan Sampraday gives special importance. Although all Hindus believe in one God, each branch worships God through different names and incarnations. In the Swaminarayan Sampraday that supreme Godhead is Bhagwan Swaminarayan Himself. There are a few main schools of thought in Hinduism (e.g. Dvait, Vishishtadvait, Advait ) all based on the Vedas and other scriptures. Bhagwan Swaminarayan established the Navya-Vishishtadvait school of thought.
