I follow, lot of niyams that pleases Maharaj and Swami. I do my daily rituals by starting with Pooja then satsang reading and also attend Ghar Sabha. Further, I also attend Balika Sabha, never eat outside and also follow lot more niyams, such as, the one that is very uniquely seen in kids of our age group is the niyam of reading the book called “Hinduism”. This book gives me a lot of information about not only B.A.P.S. but also about Hinduism itself. I got inspired to read this book because my brother was reading it and so I also got interested in reading it. Additionally, my parents told me that it is an excellent source of knowledge and I should read it. Most importantly, Pujya Bapa inspired me because I know that the more knowledge I get, the more happy he will be.

Jai Swaminarayan. I have got inspired by regularly attending balika sabhas, by listening to katha varta done by Pujya Saints, by going to shibirs, by taking part in adhiveshan and by reading satsang books. Further to above, I am also getting more inclination of mind towards them by regularly attending the kishori sabhas.

Its Shriji Maharaj & Swami that inspires us to follow many niyams. Niyams, leads us to realize our Atma(Soul) i.e. Akshar brahma and then get salvation (Moksha) by residing in Akshardham in service of Purushottam. We are Atma and not the reason i.e. body . We should not live as lead by the body or mind but we should live by realizing that we are Atma. It helps us to give up the worldly desires (vishayas). Even when, we have got addicted to bad habits, then by following niyams we can give up such habits by forming vairagya against such habits & simultaneously increase faith in dharma.

I have got the inspiration to follow niyams by observing the growth in other’s life. I have also got inspired from life of Pramukh Swami himself who himself follows niyams and also gives encouragement to others to follow the niyams for their betterment.

Jai Swaminarayan, I follow these Niyams to get Maharaj and Bapa's Blessing. These niyams benefits me in many ways such as to control my mind, to be healthy and to learn to respect elders. The niyams gives peace to our soul and get us rid of bad things from our heart. It also removes bad thoughts from our mind and also keeps us away from Maya.

I got inspiration to follow niyams by attending the Bal Sabhas. In these Sabha, we are taught to follow niyams, which a satsangi should follow, such as doing daily Pooja etc. Even Swamishri says that 'without Pooja we will be cut', so I do Pooja daily.

We go to temple daily and listen to Santo’s pravachan. We also do Ghar-Sabha at home and spend time with the elders and also with Poojari who is knowledgeable. They inspire us to follow many niyams. Moreover, the belief in Lord Swaminarayan and Swami Bapa enables us to follow our niyams.

We should live simple and religious life. We should do Pooja daily. Such faith should come from bottom of our heart. We should put God first in every task we do in our life.

One of the niyams that I follow is writing the 'Swaminarayan' mantra daily. I get inspiration to follow this niyam from my family and by attending Balika Sabha every week. It inspires me to follow this niyam, as my family motivates me by expressing their feelings of being proud that I make Maharaj & Swami happy by following it. The Balika Sabha has really helped me to follow this niyam because Swayamsevaks has always taught me that if we want to follow a niyam, then we should always follow it and try our very best not to break it. In addition, they also taught me that I should follow this niyam for making Maharaj and Swami happy. Thanks to my Family and Balika Sabha that I am able to follow my niyam and make Maharaj and Swami happy.

I follow a lot of niyams. We should all follow niyams everyday because they are for our own good and they help us to succeed in life. The Niyams that have been given to us from Bapa or from the shikshapatri, we should always follow them. One should not watch Television; if this niyam is taken. The reason why Bapa says not to watch Television is that, there are many things that one should not watch on the Television. Niyams are for our own good, so one should follow them.

In Limerick, we do not have temple or bal-balika Sabha, so I get my inspiration from my grand parents in India through phone and also from my parents. Even though, we have limited access to satsang Audio/Visual Media, my most helpful inspiration is our website. It updates me and my sister on events & happenings in Satsang around the world. Jai Swaminarayan

I always used to love ice-cream but then I realized that I am obsessed with it. So I took niyam of not eating ice cream from Swami Bapa. I have also taken niyam of not having Soda which I have taken a few weeks ago. After that, I realized that I can follow niyams.

I learned all the niyams when I started attending the Bal-Sabha. Whenever Saints come to visit Dar-es-Salaam, I listen to their discourse (pravachan).

The inspiration behind my niyams is none other than Pramukh Swami Maharaj. He is such a humble, loving, caring, and a simple person. He does so much for the Sanstha and for me. I feel bad that I am not able to give him anything in return. But with his blessings and motivation, I could take a niyam of not having Soda until Akshardham is built and also not to eat candies until I do the darshan of Swami Bapa in person.

I was inspired by following these niyams when we migrated to Australia and lived at Swaminarayan Temple in Rose-Hill. After which, we began to visit Temple regularly and I also used to attend Balika Sabha, which also inspired me.

One of my niyams is to do five extra malas for Swamibapa's health. My main inspiration and motivation is Swami Bapa himself. It is his agna, to follow niyams & I know that he will become very happy if I do bhakti by following niyams. Further, Bapa is getting older, so I pray for his good health so that he can give darshan to all his devotees and also visit U.S. more often. These are the reasons that I follow my niyams. Jai Swaminarayan.
