Addressing the silver jubilee celebrations of Akshardham Temple at Gandhinagar in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the role played by Pramukh Swami ji and BAPS family. The PM said, “Pramukh Swami Ji was never guided by 'expanding influence' for the sake of it. He was more interested in improving lives of people.”
Shri Modi added that Pramukh Swami Ji brought about transformative change in society. “What was special about Pramukh Swami Ji was that he understood the importance of changing with times & yet retaining a human touch”, the PM remarked.
Shri Modi remarked that Akshardham Temples were about 'Bhavyata' and 'Divyata'. He further stated, “Akshardham Temples stand out for excellent management and usage of technology. For this, we will always be grateful to Pramukh Swami ji.”
The PM recalled, “Pramukh Swami Ji taught us to lead a life not for ourselves but for others. He appreciated the work done by BAPS during the Navnirman Movement in restoring normalcy and helping people. “Swaminarayan Family is always ready to serve humanity, whatever is needed, at whatever time and at any place”, Shri Modi added.

Akshardham Temples are beautiful, ahead of their times. I assure you- you may not enter the Temple as a Bhakt but you will leave as one: PM pic.twitter.com/A2tstGt1um

During natural disasters when food packets are needed, @BAPS never asks 'Ketla' (how much) but they ask, 'Ketla Vage' (what time): PM (1/2)
