Blatant POV pushing

The article has been edited by many editors to POV push against BAPS and other sampradayas in favor of the Laxmi Narayan and Nar Narayan Gadis. This is evident through the edits and through the names of one major editor which is Gaybaps. This needs an investigation into POV pushing and an article rewrite. 2600:4040:60AC:6500:8C19:148D:3902:DD16 (talk) 01:12, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Serious? This article was hijacked by a BAPS-sock-puppeteer; we've seen enough already of this attitude here. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:01, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

There was a sockpuppet against other sampradyas after those sockpuppets. There is no reason to be biased against any of them. We need to remove certain biases in this article. Specifically, we need to revert the change in the introduction of Swaminarayan as a manifestation of Krishna as majority of Swaminarayan followers believe him to be either a manifestation of Krishna or Vishnu or a Manifestation of supreme god. Then original edit was better and we should reach a consensus on wether we should change this or keep it as is. Ram112313 (talk) 16:12, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

I am follower of Swaminarayan sect. And I know what is written about Swaminarayan in the ancient scripture Skanda Purana. But now this article cannot be edited, please remove this protection.And make it editable. I will surely help you in this. I promise to add accurate and unbiased information. ભાવિક (talk) 05:09, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Remove the word yogi from this article. If Swaminarayan was God, then he should get at least that much respect

People who have not read the scriptures of the Swaminarayan Sampradaya have no right to edit this page. In none of the scriptures of the Swaminarayan sect, he is called only a yogi. They are God. So he was proficient in yogic action. I have nothing more to say but just remove the word Yogi from the article. And at least use the word God. If you see references to him being God I will give them.But please don't insult our Lord like this. Don't edit the page if you don't know about our sect. It hurts our feelings ભાવિક (talk) 05:18, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Reverts

{{yo|ભાવિક]] I reverted your edits diff, beacuse you removed sourced info and WP:RS, and replaced them with two WP:PRIMARY sources. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 11:39, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Remove Yogi Word

i am firm believer of lord shree swaminarayan. You need to remove word yogi and replace it with God. Do not play with emotions of devotees. There are crores of devotees who believe he is the supreme lord. This is insult of my beloved lord shree Swaminarayan. Juhi2511 (talk) 09:16, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Replace the infobox image with BAPS Robbinsville Mandir - Murti 2.jpg, its more in detail. 23.127.139.201 (talk) 02:18, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: Here is a link the image requested: https://commons.wikimedia.org/File:BAPS_Robbinsville_Mandir_-_Murti_2.jpg. There is no description provided for it on its wikimedia page, but the page where it is used on English Misplaced Pages indicates it is from a location in the United States. I think the one used in the infobox is a better fit as the lead image for this page. (But, of course anyone with autoconfirmed status who disagrees with me is of course free to continue the discussion here, or WP:BOLDLY change the image themselves.) -- Pinchme123 (talk) 01:23, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Religious evidences of Bhagwan/god Swaminaryan IN VEDIC LIT.

Religious mentoins of Supreme Godhead Swaminaryan as folows ;- Skanda Purana, Part 2 – Vasudev Mahatmya, Chapter 18, Verses 42-44:

मया कृष्णेन निहताः साङर्जुनेन रणेषु ये | प्रवर्तयिष्यन्त्यसुरांस्ते त्वधर्म यदा क्षितौ |४२| धर्मदेवात् तदा मूर्तौ नरनारायणात्मना | प्रवृत्तेङपि कलौ ब्रह्मन् भूत्वाहं सामगो द्विजः |४३| मुनिशापान्नृतां प्राप्तं सर्षिं जनकमात्मनः | ततोङविता गुरुभ्योङहं सद्धर्मं स्थापयन्नज |४४|

Maya Krushnen nihataaha Saarjunen raneshu ye| Pravartyishyantya suraanste tva-dharm yadaa kshitau |42| Dharmadevaat tadaa murtau Nar-Narayanaatmana| Pravruttepi kalau brahman bhutvaaham saamago dwijah |43| Munisha-paanrutam praptam sarshim janakmatmanaham| Tato-vitaa gurubhyo-aham saddharmam sthaapayannaj |44|

Arjun and I (Krishna) have defeated evil demons, and I have gifted them moksha if they have died seeing Me or at My hands. Those, who died with evil intent in their hearts will be born in Kali yuga and wreak havoc. At that time, after the curse of Durvasa to Nar Narayan, I will be born in Kali yuga as a Samvedi brahmin. I will vanquish all evil and establish righteousness, while protecting all the rishis, my mother Bhakti, and my father Dharma.

Brahmanda Purana:

दत्तात्रेयः कृतयुगे त्रेतायां रघुनन्दनः | द्वापरे वासुदेवः स्यात् कलौ स्वामी वृषात्मजः ||

Dattaatreyah kruta-yuge, tretaayam Raghunandanah| Dwaapare Vasudevah syaat kalau Swami Vrushaat-majah || In Sat yuga, I will be born as Dataatrey and in Treta yuga, I will be Ram. During Dwaapar yuga, I will be Krishna and in Kali yuga, I will be born and be known as God Swaminarayan.

Padma Purana:

पाखंडे बहुले लोके स्वामिनाम्ना हरिः स्वयम् | पापपङ्कनिमग्नं तज्जगदुध्धारयिष्यति ||

Paakhande bahule loke, Swami-naamna Hari-h-swayam | Paapaknimagnam taj-jaga-dudhdhaarayishyati ||

When deception in the veiled disguise of righteousness prevails on Earth, Hari Himself will be born as ‘Swami’ and absolve the people of sin.

Vishwaksen Samhita:

भूम्यां कृतावतारोङयं सर्वानेताञ्जनानहम् | प्रापयिष्यामि वैकुंठं सहजानन्दनामतः ||

Bhumyaam krutaavataroyam, sarvaanetaajna naham | Praapishyaami Vaikuntham Sahajanand naam-tah ||

I will take birth by the name of Sahajanand Swami {ANOTHER NAME OF SUPREME GOD SWAMINARYAN} and will guide My devotees to my divine abode of Vaikunth.
