when i was reading this forum i started laughing...i am a swaminarayan believer. i myself believe the krishna is param-brahman who says hes not. But also swaminarayan is an avatar of krishna, so therfore when he said to pray to krishna we are praying to krishna becuase swaminarayan is another name for krishna,saying ram and krishna are 2 different people is foolish. Also of course swaminarayan is an incarnation of god....some people say hes avatar wasn't predicted in the vedas. he was born to free soul(Moksha).they were cursed by sage durvas and to liberate the people NarNarayan(Arjun and Krsna) dev was also present at da time. Krishna(NarNarayan) said himself that i will be born on earth to salvate souls....therefore this proves hes a form of god and not just a swami. like lord caitanya he also took a from of a devotee.
Krishna is the supreme one though. we are also abiding to swami-narayans rules...he said pray to krishna and chant hes name, and we do chant hes name-"Swami-Narayan" is another one of hes name just like ram,buddh,vishnu,narayan is. pramukh Swami is not god.and anyway who are you to say this person is not god or that person is not god.....just worship who ever you want too. I am a swaminarayan but not a BAP shree swaminarayan our head guru is acharaya mahraj shree......who ever said only believing swaminaryan bhagwan will get you moksh is false....believeing in "GOD" will get you moksha weather that is swaminarayan,ram, or krishna the name is the same.
Also somewhere in this forum i saw someone write that you might aswel eat meat and believe in krishna instead of not eating meat and believeing in swaminarayan...thats what he basically said....what kind of idiot person says that.
E.G a person murders someone and gets punished for it....if a police officer done the same crime will he not get punished.....
instead that officer will be punished even more becuase he knew the law still he commited the crime.
jai shree krishna. jai swaminarayan
