L.K. Advani
Former Dy. Prime Minster of India

I deeply mourn the sad demise of His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharajji. He was a spiritual guru and head of the Swaminarayan Sect. He created and consecrated many temples and a giant cultural complex known as Swaminarayan Akshardham in his life time. He was a guide for humanity. I recall accompanying Pramukh Swamiji to U.K., where the first such overseas temple was constructed in Neasden, near London. Later on, similar complexes have been set up in U.S. and other parts of the world. Swamiji was a teacher, a scholar, a sage, a companion of the needy. He was a pleasant, soft spoken individual and had a magnanimous personality. His message of compassion & service will remain an inspiration. We will always remember him for his wisdom and vision for humanity. I pay my heartfelt homage to the departed soul.

We all know, he has only discarded his mortal body but continues to live showering spiritual blessings on his countless devotees. I had my first meeting with him in 2007 when he had visited the Akshardham Temple in New Delhi. I still remember the elevating spiritual experience I had when I fell at his holy feet. The spiritual splendour which adorned his face all the time continues to inspire and elevate me. My Pranams at his holy feet.

Ashish Chauhan
CEO & MD, Bombay Stock Exchange

He was a true social reformer who took every caste and strata of hindu society together. His lifetime work is exemplified by BAPS Sanstha which has stood test of time and grown in to a giant public service organisation that it has become today. Despite his long record of service to humanity in india and across the world, not a single controversy ever besotted him. He created an army of volunteers who seek to service humanity together without ever making a publicity out of it. In three words. He was a humble, visionary leader who inspired his followers to achieve the best for themselves and society. I will miss him for ever and continue on the path shown by him.

KV Kamath
Chairman, BRICS Bank

It is with profound sorrow that I read the news that Parmukh Swami Maharaj is no more with us. We will miss his tranquil divinity, his affection, his vision and his ability to build religious, cultural and spiritual bridges. He leaves a vacuum and a void in the spiritual world. At this difficult moment we need to draw solace and comfort from all his teachings and the Marg Darshan that he has given us.

T Krishnakumar
CEO, Hindustan Coca-cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd.

It was difficult for me to imagine how God would look like, but by the grace of Pramukh Swami Maharaj, I saw God on earth. His holiness was one who strengthened my belief in the goodness of mankind. Inspite of his powerful divinity and spirituality, his constant tirelessness in making his devotees happy and tread the right path, made him a God who walked the earth. I offer my humble salutations to this god with a prayer that he will continue to guide me and bless us all.

D.R.Kaarthikeyan

We will necessarily miss the gracious physical presence of the great Master. But he will remain in our hearts and prayers all the time.

It is a life to be celebrated. I join your and the large team of devoted Swamiji’s in pledging to carry forward His message of Love, Grace, Spirituality and Service to Humanity. We will necessarily miss the gracious physical presence of the great Master. But he will remain in our hearts and prayers all the time.

I am one of the many who has had the honour, privilege and joy of being personally blessed by him. To be in his presence was in itself a blessing - a feeling of calm would pervade the world around him. God sends us his chosen few to show the path of love and peace to humanity. Swamiji’s message after the attack on the temple was a message of peace and sanity to a world that seems to be loosing its way in the maze of hate and violence. Humanity will miss him, his followers will miss him, and those who were blessed by him will miss him. But he will ever live in our consciousness reminding us that we are souls in a human body connected to the almighty and are here to serve one another as he and his followers ceaselessly served humanity.

Anil Desai

May the Divine Power give us the strength to withstand and overcome this irreparable loss. May we all resolve to commit ourselves to the cause of upliftment of the downtrodden and create a cohesive society which would, in a true sense, mean a solemn tribute to Pramukh Swamiji.
