# Defilement of places of worship or objects of great respect (Section 295 and 297).
Bhagwan Swaminarayan also known as Sahajanand Swami, taught teachings of dharma, ahimsa and brahmacharya. He is the supreme god. Bhagwan Swaminarayan was born as Ghanshyam Maharaj in Chhapaiya, India in 1781. In 1792, he began a seven-year pilgrimage across India at the age of 11 years, adopting the name Nilkanth Varni. In 1800, he was appointed as the head of the sampraday by his guru, Ramanand Swami, and was given the name Sahajanand Swami.
# Outraging or wounding the religious feelings of persons (Section 295A and 298).
He built six sikkarbadh mandirs in his lifetime and appointed 500 paramahamsas in one night. In 1826, Bhagwan Swaminarayan wrote the Shikshapatri, a book of commands. He went back to his abode, Akshardham on 1 June 1830 and was cremated in Lakshmi Vadi, Gujarat. Before his death, Swaminarayan appointed Gunatitananand Swami his first successor.
# Disturbing religious assemblies (Section 296).
Childhood as Ghanshyam Maharaj

Bhagwan Swaminarayan was born on April 3rd, 1781 (Chaitra Sud 9, Samvat 1837) in Chhapaiya. Bhagwan Swaminarayan was named Ghanshyam by Markande Muni, His parents were Dharmadev and Bhaktimata. The birth of Bhagwan Swaminarayan was on the same day as Ram Navmi. Bhagwan Swaminarayan had an elder brother, Rampratapbhai, and a younger brother, Ichcharambhai. He mastered the the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Puranas, the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata by the age of seven
Travels as Nilkanth Varni

on his journey. Nilkanth Varni travelled across India and parts of Nepal in search of an ashram, or hermitage, that practiced what he considered a correct understanding of What is Jiva? What is Ishvara? What is Maya? What is Brahman? What is Parabrahman? While on his journey, Nilkanth Varni mastered Ashtanga yoga under Gopal Yogi. In Nepal, he met King Rana Bahadur Shah and cured him of his stomach illness. As a result, the king freed all the ascetics he had imprisoned. In 1799, after a seven-year journey, Nilkanth's travels ended in Loj, Gujarat. In Loj, Nilkanth Varni met Muktanand Swami. Nilkanth decided to stay for the opportunity to meet Ramanand Swami, whom he met a few months after his arrival in Gujarat.

== Lord Swaminarayan is not a manifestation of Krishna ==

It is believed in the Swaminarayan Sampradaya (religion) that that Lord Swaminarayan is the manifestation of the supreme God himself, and he looks exactly the way he looks in his divine abode. it is not believed that He is an incarnation of Krishna. Although Krishna is revered in our religion, we do not believe him to be the Supreme God. So can you please research and change this.
