Swamishri arrived at Gandhinagar from Atladra. After darshan, he sat down for dinner. Hitesh Dharia, a guide at the Akshardham monument, narrated the experiences of visitors to Akshardham. At the end, Hitesh asked Swamishri, “What is the fruit of visiting Akshardham?”

Swamishri replied, “Whoever visits will see and appreciate. They will experience peace and happiness…”

“Can I say what the real benefit of visiting Akshardham is?” Hitesh interrupted. Then he answered, “The biggest benefit for a visitor to Akshardham is that he gets to know about Pramukh Swami Maharaj.”

Hearing this Swamishri countered, “Everything is due to the grace of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. The murti seated here in Akshardham is divine and because of the murti everyone benefits by their visit here.”

“But, you reveal the true identity and glory of that murti,” Hitesh said.

“Yes, but the real force is God. Without God, we are worth nothing,” concluded Swamishri.

Swamishri’s glory for God and personal humility touched everyone.
