What is the basic philosophy of the Swaminarayan Sampraday?
“) Followers of the Swaminarayan Sampraday, like all Hindus, bow down to all deities, but offer their worship and prayers to Bhagwan Swaminarayan – the principal deity. Similarly, in most Swaminarayan mandirs you will find murtis of Radha-Krishna, Sita-Ram, Shiv-Parvati, Hanuman and Ganapati, but in the central shrine of the mandir you will always find the murtis of Bhagwan Swaminarayan accompanied by His ideal devotee, Aksharbrahma Gunatitanand Swami.
