Murlidhar

Swaminarayan devotees number about 5 million, out of nearly 1 billion Hindus. Only five million deluded Hindus consider this hoax to be god.

Jay Shri Krishna, has Sahajanand Swami been predicted in the Puranas like Kalki or Buddha? What is your position on Lord Krishna, do you think of him as Dev? Do you think Swaminarayan is greater than Krishna, why do you call Lord Krishna avataar and Swaminaryan 'avataari'? Why have all Swaminarayan "saints" accquired such a bad reputation as businessmen and having sex with prostitutes? Also where are the "original" Swaminarayan temples then and how are you different from BAPS?

Interesting, the BAPS believes Gopalanad Swami was an incarnation of Krishna Bhagwan:ponder:

Okay people here is the true Swaminarayan philosophy (BAPS) There are five eternal realities: Jiva (soul) Ishwar(lord like Shri Krishna) Maya(illusion) Brahma or Akshar(Gods divine abode personified in Pramukh Swami) Parabrahma-Supreme God Swaminarayan This in effect they put their Guru and Swaminarayan above our Lord SHri Krishna Bhagwan:mad2: . They believe those who believe in Krishna, VIshnu, etc will go to one of the infinite Golokas or Vaikunthas in the whole universe, but at Maha Pralaya, all the MULTIPLE GOLOKAS AND VAIKUNTHAS WILL BE DESTROYED ALONG WITH THEIR DIETIES LIKE SHRI KRISHNA ONLY SWAMINARAYAN AND HIS FOLLOWERS IN AKSHARDHAM WILL REMAIN!!! In the BAPS mandirs they call Shri Krishna a dev and his murti is always much smaller than Swaminarayans. The BAPS devotees and sadhus always find ways of demeaning Shri Krishna and Bhagwaan Rama and so forth. Have you seen their Delhi Akshardham which obviously is a huge project in showing off! The statues of Swaminarayan and their Guru Parampara is IN GOLD while those of Shri Krishna and the other 'devs' are in marble and MUCH MUCH SMALLER! In the houses of BAPS devotees you will only find the pictures of Swaminarayan and their gurus who they worship as if they are also god. You will not find any other murtys of Shri Krishna or Ram or any other 'avatars'. To them Lord Krishna is just an avatar, an ishwar who is BELOW MAYA. It really pisses me off when they go to INDIAN FAMILIES ASKING FOR DONATION FOR THEIR LATEST MANDIR-which look more like palaces for their "saints". Jai Shri Krishna
