The most pre-eminent Lord Shri Swaminarayan, has gifted to the mankind, the essence of all the scriptures in the form of Shikshapatri. For the benevolence of the entire human race, Bhagwan Himself had preached to spread the true education on the earth, which He has considered as a great noble deed. Only a saint with pure and pious heart can perceive God’s commands as they are. Pujya Gurudev Shastriji Maharaj Shri Dharmajivandasji Swami was such a great saint. He decided to materialize this command of God. At the dawn of the independence of our country, He pioneered Shri Swaminarayan Gurukul, in the year of 1948 in Rajkot, Gujarat (India).
A rare soul who always lived for others and at the same time remained totally absorbed in God. A peaceful, humble, plain, loving, bright and spiritual personality – this is Shashtriji Maharaj.
The Guru-Shishya tradition is the unique feature of Sanatana Dharma, otherwise known as Hinduism. The knowledge, capacity, virtues, ideologies, values and objectives of life are directly received by the disciple from the Guru in a practical, personal and vibrant manner. The vision of Guru becomes the life and mission of Shishya. In such a divine lineage of Guru parampara of Swaminarayan Sect, appeared Shatriji Maharaj Shree Dharmajivandasji Swami.
He was a great guru, the fifth spiritual successor in Bhagwan Swaminarayan’s succession of Gunatit gurus, was born in a farmer’s family on 18th June, 1901, the auspicious day of the Rathayatra of Shree Jagannath Bhagawan of Puri, in the Taravada village of Amreli District in Gujarat, India and was named as Arjan. He was very brilliant and studious. He had natural inclination for spiritual learning and reading of religious scriptures. However, during his adolescent years, he was attracted to the pure life of Saint Shree Balmukundadasji Swami, Bhagwan Swaminarayan’s third spiritual successor. This created a spiritual fire in his heart and a calling in his soul that shaped the journey for the rest of his divine life.
Pujya Guruvarya Shri Devkrushndasji Swami
Pujya Guruvarya Shree Devkrushndasji Swami is an embodiment of Vairagya. Swami was born as Devjibhai Kaila in the Vejalpar village to parents Javerbhai and Parvatiben Kaila. In the year 1960 he was admitted to the Gurukul for his schooling, during which he developed affection for Pujya Shastriji Maharaj and the Gurukul. His life itself is his message. No one on the earth would have seen him desiring anything for ownself. He is situated at such a spiritually heightened state that worldly pleasures are just flesh and trash for him. Such a detachment from luxuries and self-comfort was inherent to his existence from early childhood. Moreover, his is a steadfast heart who doesn’t deviate from the path. Till today, his plain life, detachment, and devotion are intact. Being a head of more than 250 saints, millions of followers, more than 40 organizations he sleeps on the ground. No bed, no special bathroom, no speciality in dining, no protocol or pre-appointment for darshan and more importantly, never did he think of himself being a Guru and felt proud of that. All the saints of the Swaminarayan sect and many others witness to the true sainthood of Gurumaharaj.
Creator and creations are not different from each other. We are deeply grateful of venerable Dharmavallabhdasji swami for vision and efforts in creating this magnificent Varnindra Dham. He made it possible what was impossible for the world. His guidance and leadership has brought our community together, so this temple is a testament to his wisdom.
Under Pujya Gurumaharaj’s headship, there is a team of elder saints, Pujya dharmavallabhswami is one of the gems from it. With the blessings of Pujya Gurumaharaj, he directed the construction of the divine abode in the remote area and gifted the world such an amazing Varnindra Dham.
