The first feeling I got was Heaven on Earth. Never felt so relaxed in a temple before.
The peace and tranquility felt when in the temple is just amazing. Even with so many people there is a relaxed atmosphere.
Campus is clean and tidy. Very calm and relaxed atmosphere. People maintain peace and quiet.
Parking available opposite main gate entrance. Limited by space. Best to visit during the day avoiding festival days as it’s very crowded and traffic jams the area.
2 shops on site to buy the Ambrish men’s uniform material, t shirts, murtis, kanthi and several other Pooja materials. I bought various photos and kantis for a very good price.
The campus at the back of the temple is for lady devotees. The Bhakti ashram is for female nuns who dress in a dark orange/ red saree. Males are allowed there as long as the do not coke into close contact with the nuns.
One of the best temple of swaminarayan sanstha In Gujarat. Full temple is build of greynite. Which is why the temple environment is cold even in the summer also. Very peaceful and spiritual place with quite greenery. Free meal given to needy people by temple. This temple is build by H. D. H. Hariprasad swami.
Nothing can match the peace of this place no motivational speaker can give inner motivation that visiting this place gives best place with complete greenery within. Will give best experience of life take out a bit of time from your busy schedules and do visit this worlds best place will surely find your hidden and lost self. Will love it.
Under the leadership of Swaminarayan, the movement gained strength, and at the time of his death it had 1.8 million followers. The organisation is based on vedic and puritic Hinduism. Apart from traditional Hindu scriptures, the sect has more than three thousand works written by its members. The most important are the Shikshapatri, Swamini Vato and the Vachanamrut. The Shikshapatri, which the Bombay Gazetteer described as a book of social principles, was written by Swaminarayan in 1826.
One and only spiritual master (GOD) Hariprasad swamiji lives here. Place is full of positive vibrations. Devotees take care of the Temple with the help of each other and showing Atmiyta.
It is as great as AKHSARDHAM so, it cannot be even compared with Paradise.
I am fortunate people and whoes these are fortunate who have go a haridham Temple I have never seen this type of mandir if I stay in vadodara I can visit haridham daily for a darshan.
Not only a visiting place but also a place to experience peace of mind and soul. I had a great, wonderful and peaceful stay there. The moments I passed there are most valuable in my life. I had 'Darshan' of H. H. Rev. Swamiji Shri Hariprasad Swami who set up 'Naimisharanya' (Shri Haridham) at a very little village named SOKHADA. Jay Shri Swaminarayan.
A place like "Akshardham" on this earth. Yogi Divine Society has changed lives of billions of people and this temple is the first and biggest one for them.the place is located opposite GSFC township.

અદભુત જગ્યા જ્યાં તમને શાંતિ થી પ્રભુ નું સ્મરણ કરી શકો છો. અંદર એકદમ શાંતિ છે અને હરિયાળી થી સજ્જ જગ્યા માં શાંતિ નો ખુબ જ સારો અનુભવ થાય છે. સ્વામિનારયણનું મંદિર માં શાંતિ તો અહેસાસ મનો.
Extremely divine place with an utterly aesthetic culture. Gives you peace of mind and a satisfactory devotion. Huge campus covered with lush green Neem trees.
Built on the basis of sculpture, the 107 feet tall temple is built by India's only polished granite and artistic carvings of the marble. The construction of this temple has been set up in the temple of Hindu civilization by constructing 6,000 square feet of marble with 20 grams of granite, 5,300 cubic feet - red granite and 4,400 cubic feet of black granite from India's monolithic state. The domicile of humanity is at such a critical catastrophe where the survival of earth is at stake and intact human existence needs concord. The enmity of immorality, brutality, and natural or manmade calamities have seized the human race in their vicious grip that it cannot escape the hideous fortune over hanging with an undreamt apprehension and ambiguity. Furthermore, to be saved from total moral annihilation, we necessitate the God ordained saint’s blessings hence 137 ascetic ‘Sadhus’ (Saints) and 120 ‘Sahishnu’ (Brahmchari) are ordained by H. H. Hariprasad Swamiji who incessanty yearns for goodness of humankind. Tthey are the staunch followers of the precepts of saintliness as laid down by Lord Swaminarayan. Their Spiritual goal is to attain union with Brahman and forge a devotional relationship with Parabrahman – the Supreme Godhead by austerely observing the vows of the renunciation of women, wealth, name and fame. ‘Sadhus’ perform all the institutional chores themselves. The devotional and spiritual life of these ‘Sadhus’ spreads the fragrance of their Master’s divinity.
“A place to visit for all irrespective of the cast”
I visited this place with my brother and father. My brother is a firm believer of hariprasad Swamiji and on his insistence, we visited this place. The property is too huge and consists main temple, place to stay for guests and place to stay for satsangis. They have one huge building coming up with hospital and school.
You can have lunch, dinner and breakfast at free of cost. You can get certain pujas done without any monetary compensation.
No one asks money and people pay as per their capacity to the treasurer of the temple. Even during pujas, one will not be asked to shell out money at every Kriya. This itself makes people donate more for the temple.
One can see affection around everywhere. Everyone respects, helps each other. This is the community of selfless help and love.
So visit once to feel the circle of God and hariprasad Swamiji around you.
