Bhagwan and Guru
Swamishri was asked, “Being engaged in so many works and activities of the BAPS Sanstha do you experience tension?”
Swamishri replied, “I leave the tension on Bhagwan.” Then Swamishri smiled and added, “Pramukh Swami Maharaj has done everything. He has left nothing undone.”
Swamishri’s words reveal his profound faith in Bhagwan Swaminarayan and devotion to his guru (guru bhakti).
