A
cherished
dream
and
brainchild
of
Shree
TejendraPrasadji
Maharaj,
Shree
Swaminarayan
Museum
stands
resplendent
today,
to
be
inaugurated
on
Tuesday,
8
March,
2011.
A
doyen
among
the
highly
revered
Swaminarayan
acharyas,
Shri
TejendraPrasadji
Maharaj
had
had
the
vision
for
the
museum
years
ago.
He
voluntarily
retired
from
the
Acharyaship
to
personally
supervise
the
museum
to
its
completion
and
dedicate
time
in
ample
measure
to
His
precious
vision.
These
painstaking
measures
have
resulted
in
a
serene
edifice
that
stands
testimony
to
the
vision
devoted
to
conserving
Bhagwan
Shree
Swaminarayan's
personal
effects/belongings
and
extending
their
spiritually
benevolent
aura
to
anyone
who
might
visit
the
monumental
museum.
The
museum,
located
on
a
sprawling
campus
of
25,000
m2
at
Naranpura,
Ahmedabad,
has
come
up
under
the
auspices
of
the
Swaminarayan
Mandir,
Kalupur.
This
is
a
campus
of
a
profound
aesthetic,
architectural,
and
spiritual
amalgam.
The
management
of
the
museum
intends
to
ensure
that
the
museum
retains
its
raison
d'être
and
grows
manifold
in
fame
and
splendour.
Proceeds
from
Shri
TejendraPrasadji
Maharaj's
60th
birthday
were,
under
His
insistence,
dedicated
to
this
project.
His
wish
has
been
complied
with.
However,
this
being
a
small
amount
as
compared
to
the
sheer
enormity
of
the
project,
it
is
expected
that
followers
will
donate
generously,
and
Shri
TejendraPrasadji
Maharaj
hopes
that
people
will
come
forward
to
make
a
resounding
success
of
the
project.
