I lived here for almost 6 months. This hostel is really good for Swaminarayn students. Students and hostel Staff is very religious. Living facility is supperb. The hostel is very clean, you will feel heaven in here. There is a huge Sabha hall which is central AC. Every morning and evening, pooja is done in the sabha hall where Idol of Bhagavan Swaminarayn is placed. Some of the rules are really irritating for hostel students like Smart phone and laptop is not allowed in the campus, Students must have to attain morning and evening Sabha otherwise they will be fined, students can't go outside after 11 pm if there is any kind of emergency then only Swami can give the permission. Food quality is extremely nice, they use 100% pure things to make food. Taste is also good, nobody will feel the lack of garlic and onion. Swaminarayn khichdi is my favorite. All the festivals I have celebrated in this hostel are unforgettable. I am not from Swaminarayn Sampraday but this hostel gave me a great experience. Jay swaminarayn, jay shree Krishna..

Best Hostel for Boys with Good Habits.

Best temple cum boys hostel. Peaceful religious place. Very caring saints. Beautiful temple hall. Superb management.

Honestly if I say , This is the best place for one personality to develop to the best version in life in order to become a successful and happy human being who is healthy due to the quality of food , Stress less due to quality of knowledge shared and Skilfull due to activities that are created by Respected nd honourable Swamiji. By heartful overwhelming gratitude is for The mother of chhatralaya ,Our very honourable and lovable his holiness SadhuJeevan Das swami for his utmost Care and love. Jay Swaminarayan.

A place where we learn how to survive in life in any situation. A place which taught us morality, ethics and all fundamental about life. Here we thought how to face toughest moments of life very easily. Home Away Home - APC

Jai Swaminarayan This is very beautifully place and all students gat hear aadhyatmik spirit trru life value

It’s baps Swaminarayan mandir and chhatralay (boys hostel) for boys. Great hostel if you want to develop your kids’s personality, skills, spiritual thoughts and to make him a better person. People go there everyday for Aarti and darshan. Especially on Tuesdays they do Sabha. Such a peaceful place. Ambience, hygiene, grass and gardening and everything is just so perfect. They have bookstall too where we can buy so many products of baps. For example pooja Mandirs, murtis, photos related to Swaminarayan Bhagwan, Kanthi, sharbats, mukhvaas, Maada, body lotion, face washes, shampoos, soaps, and much more.I love attending these Tuesdays sabhas. Love that Peace.

Very very peaceful atmosphere...but very strict rules...they will give you rules to not use mobile phone

Located in the university town of Vidyanagar, the educational capital of Gujarat, the Akshar Purushottam Chattralay (APC) hosts students from all over India. Since 1965, this educational hostel has provided low-cost housing and accommodations for university students, with amenities including expansive verdantry and sports facilities as well as academic assistance, tutoring services and mentoring programs.

~Name : Viraj jivrajani ~Staying Year in chattralay : from 2019 to 2022 ~What I had learnt from chattralay ? = I had learnt many things from chattralay, like help to everyone, work together, do the seva of parents and saints and etc. A things that I had learnt from chattralay that helps me to live together with my all family members and with friends also , so the bonding between me and my family is being well. ~ What changes were occurred in my life after stayed in chattralay ? = Many things were changed after stayed in chattralay as I mentioned upper, but most Important thing that I learnt from pujya all saints was if you run with your position ego then you can't achieve your goals in the future that much that you were expected, so loose your ego and run with everyone and work together. If we work together then many new things we can learn from our friends who are working with us and that's help us to be a good person in between all members and a good nature person . ~ Which seva I had done during stayed in chattralay ? =I had done many sevas like doing seva in kitchen section, driving the utility vehicle of A.P.C chattralay and also driving the cars of many saints. I had also celebrated many festivals in chattralay such as diwali, uttarayan, holi, apart from this I had also taken a part in many functions of A.P.C chattralay . ~ In which block I stayed / which room ? = In first year I was in block Sahajanand (A) and my room no was 317. = In second year and third year I was in same block which was Nilkanth (C) but the room number were different first was 208 and second was 239. = In last year I was in Admin block and my room number was 602. I have made many friends during stayed in chattralay and they all are good in nature and helped everyone, so I had learnt many new things from them also. So , in the end ,I am very thankful to chattralay, their saint and all friends for suggesting me a good path for my future and help me when I am in difficult situation. There are many memories that are joined with chattralay such as Pizza party 🍕, Ice-cream party 🍨, and many other party's that are occured different during different seasons. And other memories are of padayatra. Jay swaminarayan 🙏🏻

This is absolutely Heaven on earth! It's best place to for students who really wants to develop themselves and want to achieve great life ahead. Yeah, you will have to follow certain rules.. but in the end it will surely develop great decipline among you. In short... It's shortcut to gain 20 years of experience in just 3 or 4 years. I have got great life, thanks to APC. Jay brahmavidya ni college!!!!

Chhatralay is very spiritual place. Whole chhatralay was feel like temple. I live in chhatralay during 2019-2021. My experience is very spiritual and unforgettable. I lern from this chhatralay about regularity in the life and it is so useful during my career. There is no enough word for explain my experience. Iam so glad that i had chance to live in this great chhatralay.

Since 22nd June 2014 I was taking admission in this spiritual complex. At that time I don't have experience about Baps. What I am taught in BAPS Swaminarayan Chhatralay. Education with character Spiritual journey with life journey Time management so on so. In my entire life I can not forget Sadhu jivaeen das ji's (Bappaji) loving kindness...

Excellent Chatralay.... It is not a hostel but it teaches you how to live a life...

Life changing experience to stay at BAPS chhatralay. Students are trained in 3 areas- education, personality development, and sanskar. Santos take care of students much more than their parents! Food is very hygienic and tasty. Best hostel in vidyanagar without any doubt.

It's like a second home for students. All saints like our own mother and father and I've really love the days when I was in chhatralay in Atladara as well as,in Vidyanagar. The beautiful days of my life I store very good memories with satpurush. I wish to live again in chhatralay. Jay Swaminarayan

This place has some its own vibes. Temple is amazing. The facilities for students are really good. You get lovely food. Peace of mind as well 😊

Best place for students residence while in college. Education plus real life experience with guidence of saints and holy devine BAPS temple inside with activities.

One of the best hostel in Anand city. Food quality is so good and garden or campus is also great. Some rules are more strict.

Not having experience staying here. Worth mentioning the cleanliness of the hostel, not seen such beautiful and pious environment in any hostel.

It is a hostel for students who studying in anand and has a best temple inside it and i like to go there.

This is a place where one can feel peace. It's a place where education and spirituality both are imbibed in the life of students.

This hostel has an amazing religious atmosphere. Having incredible facilities along with palatable food allow aspirants to enjoy presently living surroundings.

Great place feeling great inner peace 🙏🏻
