Guest guest Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 Here is what "SWAMINARAYAN" Maha-Mantra can do to anyone who chants SWAMINARAYAN. "Swaminarayan" means sarva vishva ma vyapi ne rahenara (He lives everywhere on this earth) and He is the Supreme God (among all 24 Bhagwans' Avtars) in the whole Universe. 24 Bhagwans' Avtars are as following: Reference: "Bhakta-Chintamani", verse 128, 11-15. 1. Sankadik, 2. Varah, 3. Yagna, 4. Haygreev, 5. Nar-Narayan, 6. Kapil, 7. Dattatrey, 8. Rushabh, 9. Pruthu, 10. Machchha, 11. Kachchha, 12. Dhanvantari, 13. Hari, 14. Nrusiha, 15. Vaman, 16. Hansa, 17. Narayan, 18. Manvantar, 19. Parshuram, 20. Ram, 21. Vyas, 22. Shree Krishna, 23. Budha, 24. Kalki 1. Anyone who says "Swaminarayan", his sins will be forgiven by Supreme Lord Shree Swaminarayan. There are many names of God but this is an Unique name of all. 2. If someone says "Swaminarayan" just once, it is equivalent to 1000 names of other names of God. It gives an unexplainable good result fal. 3. This Maha-Mantra makes you happy and eliminates any hardness of your life and at the end your of life, it gives you the Akshardham. 4. This Maha-Mantra will be chanted all over the world by Satsangis of Shree Swaminarayan and Maha Mukt loko. 5. If someone says "Swaminarayan" at the time that person is about to die, that person will achieve Moksha no matter how many sins he/she had committed during his/her life. This Maha-Mantra also gets rid-of fear of ghosts and gives you good sense (Sad-budhi). 6. By chanting "Swaminarayan", the Jamduts won't even come closer to you and this Maha-Mantra will give you mukti. 7. One should chant "Swaminarayan" all the time (day or night), no matter what you are working on and all 6 seasons of the year. This will enable to survive through the life of sansaar and enable to land your-self across the ocean of struggles. 8. This Maha-Mantra should be chanted by anyone- no matter whether you are pavitra or not and this will keep your mun (thinking power) clean. 9. This Maha-Mantra will give you Mukti even if you had made Brahmins to suffer or you had committed many sins or crimes. 10. It gets rid-of all sins or bad karma and other people gets jealous of this too.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 Jai Shree Krishna, The maha-mantra is the six syllable name "Swaminarayan." Here is some background information: http://www.narnarayan.net/html/sampradaya/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pankaja_Dasa Posted June 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 Hare Krishna Thanks for the link, very nice... I have a question for you, if you can answer it, what happens if somebody dies in a car crash, does Sri Swaminarayan come to collect you or, do you have to have another life?

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 For a Swaminarayan devotee, the Visnuduttas will come. Your next life is dependent on your karma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abhishek Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 SWAMINARAYAN, This word has another meaning.If u break the word SWAMI+NARAYAN.Here "SWAMI" is the Brahman and "NARAYAN" is the ParaBrahman.To achieve Parabrahman's Abode u must become like Brahman.Here Brahman is the best devotee of Para-Brahman and we must become like him to Parabrahman.At the moment the present brahman on the earth is "Pramukh Swami Maharaj" the leader of BAPS Organisation. Remember we cannot become "Brahman(BrahmaSwaroop)" but with the help of Brahman we can become "like Brahman(BrahmaRoop)". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Sorry Abhishek but you have derived an incorrect meaning. For SWAMINARAYAN to mean SWAMI+NARAYAN as in two nouns it is wrong for sanskrit grammar. SWAMI acts as an adjective to the noun NARAYAN so that NARAYAN (as in God) the SWAMI (master/lord) of all. It is not two distinct entities, for if it were then the name would be SWAMINARAYANAU Your theory is therefore flawed and incorrect.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Swami means prabhu, lord, one higher than the one saying the word. Narayan, is the supreme lord of all. In this case, it means Akshar adi pati, the one from where brahmajyoti emanates, and assumes the Shree Hari Vishnu Narayan form. Swaminarayan simply is a name to refer to the root of all. All forms are one and the same. Think of manifestations as costumes. We call them God. Why? Because God assumes the form, he takes on the form, he "puts on the costume". That's why we don't say that a certain form is the root of all. But it is God none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Vishnudattas actually come for ALL hari bhaktos, whether it is followers of Ram, Narayan, Swaminarayan, or Krishna. Vishnudattas are servants of Vishnu, a form of Purushottam Narayan whom we in our Uddhav Sampraday call Swaminarayan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 i dont think u should say anything about any bhagwan being "bogus" thoughts like these shuld bekept to oneself since it causes anger to those who believe in Swaminarayan as Lord Supreme. Thank you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maadhav Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 as far as i know, sri sahajananda swami was an incarnation of krishna as an ideal sadhu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 excuse me but i am very offended by that statement....i would never call any of the people that you belive in. you should call something that you don't even know about bogus you should respect all religions which is what i am taught. i would not go around saying christains,muslims or sikhs were bogus. i mean all this coming out of a 14year old means that even i have more sense then you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 i think that if you are all just making this sort of discussion just to offend all swmainarayans, then you shouldnt be making discussions at all. i know some people want to genuinly talk about this and have proper view. shame i cant say the same about all of you. jai swaminarayan jai shri krishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hare Krishna, What scripture predicts Shree Swaminarayan? Does he believe he is Supreme Lord? I think those who see Swminarayan as Supreme Lord are misguided, because he himself wanted his devotees to pray to Krishna - not him.

Sathya Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Is it true that there are lots and lots of sects within the swaminarayan movement because they cannot decide who is the true divine acharya of swaminarayan. I know of at least 5 different movements. Isn't this indication of how damaging nonsecular hinduism is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hare Krishna, The problem is that sects develop and then they separate themselves. It is wrong when Gurus start to say they themselves are God. Srila Prabhupad always said he is not GOD he is a servant - in fact he said he is striving to become a servant of Krishna. That is why we pray to Krishna first and foremost. We only pray to Prabhupad as a Guru - that division is clear. The problem is: did Sri Swaminarayan make it clear that he was NOT God - or did he make it vague - leading to the divisions in that particular movement.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Dear Vaishnavas, I think we vaishnavas at first be united & respect each other sects rather than commenting on it. I havent seen anywhere a swaminarayan devotee making negative comments on "Chaitanya". So Same mannerism should be adopted by HKs also. anyway i dont belong to swaminarayan or gaudiya sect. but i still respect both "Chaitanya" & "Swaminarayana" as incarnations of krishna. for me its no problem to accept them as krishna. My Guru "Sri Vishnuswami" & "Sri Guru Daata Mahatma" has told to respect all "genuine" sects (paricularly vaishnava). I am following them from past 24 hours. So i request HKs to not to bother about "Swaminarayana" or asking questions about swami's godliness ? i think even "Chaitanya" will not like it. So Hks follow "Chaitanya" rather than doubting Swaminarayana. ANYWAY LETS ALL VAISHNAVAS GET UNITED SO THAT WE CAN SPREAD THE GLORY OF KRISHNA/VISHNU EFFECTIVELY. LORD SHIVA WILL DEFINITELY HELP US TO SPREAD GLORY OF KRISHNA SINCE WE KNOW SHIVA ITSELF IS A VAISHNAVA. IF WE FIGHT AMONG OURSELVES OTHER SECTS (particularly mayavadis/saivatees) WILL LAUGH/MOCK AT US. SO WE SHOULD NOT GIVE SUCH WAY THAT OTHER SECTS MOCKING AT US. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Om Namah Sivaya /images/graemlins/smile.gif Om Namo Venkatesaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Dear Readers of all faiths, If one is very keen on finding out what is thruth in one's religion one should follow it very strictly and then perform meditation on GOD. One inner enemies should first be gotten rid of, then and only then, one can perform the true sense of doing yog, i.e. worshiping of GOD, not for material gain. If for all those who want to find out more about Lord Swaminarayan should read Vachanamrutam. Reading makes a man wise for this world, but realizing the true essese of GOD is the wisest of all. If one who has a doubt about Swaminarayan should visit any Swaminaryan temple and pick up Vachanamrutam. Another logical reasoing is that there are many saints in our fellowship. Now true that many do not posess the 32 qualities of a true saint, but they have done something that most would not do. They have realized something greater then all of us. Now one should ask a true saint, what actions can I take towards GOD, instead of will I find a job in Six months etc. They the true saints will help you reach GOD. Maharaj, teaches us that Welth and Women are the only two causes behind every action. If you disagree think it over before replying. Everyone tries to gain material things such as a new CAR, HOUSE, SOCIAL LIFE, BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, etc.. But no one says I want 15 minutes of complete peace of mind with no tension, no obigations that are lingering for that 15 min. Now if one wants to achive this state of being free from maya, surrender in the feet of the lord, and say with me..... I will try to control my eyes, and only see holy things in life... I will not try to eat food which is not clean and offered to GOD... I will not try to contemplete on Women which does not belong to me and take that to my heart which inturn leads to the physical sinful deed. One must take a step towards cleaing out their own inner enemies of lust, anger, etc.. before one can truly talk on a spritual level of the greatness of GOD. 1. TRY TO CONTROL YOUR FIVE RESPECTED SENSES.... (READ THE VACHANAMRUTAM) THEN SEE WHERE THAT LEADS YOUR LIFE TO.... Religion is very easy, its like the three monkeyes which we see all over the world... SEE NOT WRONG THINGS, LISTEN NOT WRONG THINGS, SAY NOT WRONG THINGS. So on.. So one must truly try to make them go towards god, instead of cutting others views on their relgion beliefs. I might have said too much Rajan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
