  • Swaminarayan (2 April 1781 – 1 June 1830), also known as Sahajanand Swami, is the central figure in a modern sect of Hinduism known as the Swaminarayan Faith, a form of Vaishnavism. Within the faith, Swaminarayan is venerated as an incarnation of Narayana from the Nara Narayana deity pair and is equated with the Supreme Being. Swaminarayan is also known by the names Ghanshyam Pande, Ghanshyam Maharaj, Shreeji Maharaj, Hari Krishna Maharaj and Shri Hari. Swaminarayan was born Ghanshyam Pande in Chhapaiya, Uttar Pradesh, India in 1781. In 1792, he began a seven year pilgrimage across India, adopting the name Nilkanth Varni. He settled in the West Indian state of Gujarat around 1799. In 1800, he was initiated into the Uddhav Sampraday by his guru, Ramanand Swami, and given the name Sahajanand Swami. In 1802, his guru handed over the leadership of the Uddhav Sampraday to him and died. Sahajanand Swami held a gathering and taught the Swaminarayan mantra. From here onwards he came to be known as Swaminarayan and was regarded as an incarnation of god by his followers. The Uddhav Sampraday henceforth came to be known as the Swaminarayan Sampraday. The Swaminarayan Sampraday is based on Vedic scriptures. Swaminarayan had a good relationship with the British Imperial Government and had followers not only from Hindu denominations, but adherents of Islam and Zoroastrianism as well. He built six temples in his lifetime. In 1826, he wrote the Shikshapatri, a book of social principles. Swaminarayan authorised the composition of various new scriptures and appointed 500 paramhansas to spread his philosophy. He died on 1 June 1830 and was cremated according to Hindu rites in Gadhada. Swaminarayan appointed acharyas to head the two dioceses of Swaminarayan Sampraday. Swaminarayan is also remembered within the faith for undertaking reforms for the poor and women and performing yagnas or fire sacrifices on a large scale, apart from performing miracles. He has, however, been criticised by scholars such as Swami Dayananda who questioned the acceptance of Swaminarayan as God. Swaminarayan had an estimated 1.8 million followers when he died. There have been different estimates of his following in the 21st century, ranging between 5 and 20 million.
