Biography of HSDH Shri Pramukh Swami Maharaj
What is left with a person who has given his all? Nothing. Nothing but himself. And that himself
is everything. It is an ocean of goodness, of purity and humility, a summary of
spirituality. And that is enough to inspire millions. In Swamiji’s presence, doubts dissolve, confusions clear,
hurts heal and the mind finds peace. People find answers to life's toughest questions.
Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj is the fifth spiritual successor of Lord Swaminarayan and the present
leader of Bochasanwasi Shree Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha. He leads an austere life of
lifetime celibacy, without personal wealth or comfort. Representing the essence of
Hinduism, his compassion for humanity, universal wisdom and striking simplicity have touched many world
religious and national leaders. But most important is his quiet, undisturbed love for God which
rises beyond all borders of nation, race and religion.
Even after creating an international spiritual empire of hundreds of mandirs, thousands of
centres and over a million followers, you’ll always find Swamiji engrossed in prayer.
Sometimes at 2.30 in the morning, for his life is the living proof that prayers work and divine love
succeeds.
