i doubt it mainly because it will be continually being shown in Akshardham. Also, it's an IMAX film so you would not get the full effect of the film on a standard TV. you can buy the soundtrack though

Maharaj has stated many times in the Vachnamrut about "Bhagwan and his Sant". BAPS has its God-realised saint (P. Pramukh Swami Maharaj), but i am not sure about the other 'sectors' of Swaminarayan. if the non-BAPS Swaminarayans have a guru, do they teach the same holy teachings, does the guru folllow each and every niyam that the Shikshapatri teaches? Has the Guru never asked for anything to benefit him? Has the guru tied off all his family connections? has the guru cared about everyone, no matter which 'caste', how developed they are in their religion, or even how much money that devotee has? i wont continue just a fact that one santo told us in our sabha...did you know P. Pramukh Swami Maharaj's brother earns his living by driving a riksa in india? BAPS is not money-hungry, but to feed, for example, the whole of the people who come to the mandir for a Saturday Sabha, food, each and every one does not just fall out of the sky. when the devotees put food on a plate, they do not ask for money, they humbly give the food and say Jai Swaminarayan - whether your a satsangi, or a person just viewing the mandir.

I do not agree with what the above says, but i'll pretend that i do..."serving a devotee of God is the same as serving God himself". so If Krishna is the true God, and i worship Bhagwan Swaminarayan, it would make no difference. so what is the point of this arguing? Pramukh Swami Maharaj + Bhagwan Swaminarayan has told us to respect all religions, so can the constant bantering cease?

The film currently show Ganshyam (Swaminarayan's childhood name) as a great child and shows his childhood and teenage years. however, the film in Akshardham Delhi shows more about Bhagwan Swaminarayan's life. the UK IMAX film has been currently being played for over a year in the IMAX cinemas. it is one to watch

i agree. all faiths try to dig deep into other faiths to create things to say about us[swaminarayans]. however, over the last 5 years at London mandir, i haven't hear any santo discuss anything bad about any other faith there is. the santos all see good in everything, and try to teach us that. if everyone in the world followed Swaminarayan Bhagwan's teachings, the world would be perfect. however there are a few ignorant people who are either jealous, or do not want to see anyone happy. nothing that BAPS teaches is bad, harmful or evil. you just need to have a look at P. Pramukh Swami Maharaj to see that

lets just pray that the petition works

You qutod a part of my one, but forgot to mention the regular Gosthi sessions that the BAPS mandirs have. much better than any messaage board

Just to remind you, BAPS is primarily a religion. it is not a firm, it is not a message board. any questions that you may have, can be discussed either privately with a santo, or during the goshti sessions such as the ones that london have. if there was a message board, you can imagine how many posts around the world would be posted. who would moderate it? and if there was a message board, most of the posts would probably be from anti-BAPS Swaminarayans just attempting to dissuade people from the true religion path.

Good luck. it takes five years, a lot of effort, and a God-realised saint (P. Pramukh Swami Maharaj) to build something this great. I'd like to see anyone try
