Swaminarayan was born as Ghanshyam Pande into a Brahmin family at Uttar Pradesh, India in 1781. In 1792, he travelled across India, and adopted the name as Nilkanth Varni. Nilkanth Varni visited the Jagannath Temple in Puri as well as temples in Badrinath, Rameswaram, Nashik, Dwarka and Pandharpur.
During his journey, he has done lot of welfare activities to the people and he settled in the state of Gujarat around 1799.
In 1800, he was adapted into the Uddhav sampradaya by his guru, Swami Ramanand, and was given the name Sahajanand Swami. In 1802, his guru made him the leader of the Uddhav Sampraday before his death. Sahajanand Swami taught the Swaminarayan Mantra to the people. From then onwards, he was known as Swaminarayan. The Uddhav Sampraday became known as the Swaminarayan Sampraday.
Swaminarayan died on 1 June 1830, and he was cremated in Gadhada, Gujarat.
Swaminarayan, established temples, as part of his philosophy of deity worship, and these Mandirs are known as Swaminarayan Hindu temples.
It is believed that the sage Narayana who took birth as Lord Krishna in Dwapara yuga, has again taken the avatar as “SWAMI NARAYAN” in this Kali Yuga. He is regarded as an eminent and efficient guru among his followers. He has done many miracles to the people during his life time, and is still answering to the prayers of his devotees from his Mandir.
