Atlanta sources have stated that His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj, the current spiritual leader of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, joined devotees and well-wishers in celebrating the ten-year anniversary of the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Atlanta, GA on July 1, 2017. The Mandir was inaugurated by His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj in 2007 and has helped enrich the local community through the development of family and youth programs, community outreach, and spiritual assemblies.
A true labor of love, the Mandir offers weekly services and year-round
programs organized by volunteers and Swamis within the BAPS community.
As a central place of Hindu worship, the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir opened
to the community on August 26, 2007 and was made possible by the spiritual
support, guidance, and inspiration of Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the fifth
spiritual successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan.
Today, Mahant Swami Maharaj carries forward this work and legacy as the
current spiritual successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Through his leadership and
guidance, Mahant Swami Maharaj invites people of all faiths and cultural
backgrounds to visit and explore the mandir, its architecture, and its Hindu
teachings.
