BAPS volunteers welcomed @RepAuchincloss (MA-4), State Rep. Ted Philips, and their staff to the @BAPS Mandir in Sharon, MA. The visit was an opportunity to share how faith inspires BAPS’ commitment to serving others, learn more about issues impacting our community, and reflect on the shared values that bring us together in service to our communities.
Nepal Flood Relief Work Has Begun
After the devastating flood affecting border region of Nepal and Tibet, HH Mahant Swami Maharaj has prayed and urged everyone to do the same. Now, under his guidance and inspiration, volunteers of BAPS fellowship began the relief work.
Today @BAPS had the honor of participating in a hearing held by the U.S. DOJ Religious Liberty Commission. Dr. Akshar Patel offered testimony on 'Freedom to Flourish in Community' — a vital discussion with government & faith leaders to protect the right to practice one's faith.
On the auspicious occasion of Ram Navami, Swamis and volunteers came together in devotion to celebrate the divine birth of Bhagwan Shri Ram.
The celebrations centred around the sacred pujan rituals, with the offering of arti and a beautifully prepared annakut, expressing heartfelt devotion and gratitude on this auspicious day.
Special prayers were also offered for peace, harmony, and wellbeing across the region.#AbuDhabiMandir
Thank you very much for the whole experience of joining friends from the diaspora at the Bharatiya Temple, celebrating Gangaur festival & also discussing issues related to community welfare 🙏
.@BAPS was honored to host Diwali at the @UN in Vienna in collaboration with the Permanent Mission of India to the @UN. The special gathering celebrated historic milestones—30 years of partnership with @UNECOSOC, 25 years of General Consultative Status, and 25 years since HH Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s landmark address at the Millennium World Peace Summit.

.@BAPS was proud to host the Diwali celebration at the Indiana state capitol in Indianapolis.
Our sincere thank you to all the leaders and guests who joined us to celebrate this year’s event.
We appreciate @RepLaLota for taking the time to celebrate Diwali with us at the @BAPS Mandir in Long Island! We are grateful for your enduring friendship and commitment to fostering harmony and unity.
Honored to join the BAPS Temple community this week to celebrate Diwali and the Hindu New Year. At a time when our nation faces deep division, it’s more important than ever to come together to celebrate what unites us as Americans—freedom, family and the peaceful practice of our faiths.
Thank you to Girish Patel and everyone at BAPS for all you do for our community — from the charitable work benefiting Huntington’s youth community to the beautiful Annakut celebration bringing together officials and local leaders.
I urge all of my colleagues to follow our lead and inform the House Administrative Officer that no Member salaries shall be paid during any lapse in government funding. This especially applies to my colleagues who voted against the bipartisan, bicameral funding bill that passed the House last week which would keep the government funded and open. Put your money where your mouth is. #NoBudgetNoPay
Visited the heavenly BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham in New Jersey 🙏✨
More than a temple – it’s a living miracle of devotion, culture & teamwork.
Salute to Mahant Swami Maharaj & the volunteers who made this divine dream real. 🌍🇮🇳

Representing the only Congressional District in America with three BAPS Mandirs, it was my absolute honor to travel to India to visit BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha in New Delhi. I have long seen the extraordinary impact that BAPS has had in our Bucks and Montgomery County communities. To stand with BAPS in India—among friends and partners I know so well at home—was profoundly meaningful.
@BAPS is more than a spiritual institution; it is a force for good—uplifting families, guiding youth, responding to crises, and building bridges across cultures. I am so grateful for their gracious hospitality in India, and I am proud to continue to partner with them here at home in our community. @BAPS_PubAffairs
Today, Tammy and I had the privilege of visiting the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Robbinsville — the second largest Hindu temple in the world.
As we prepare for our upcoming trip to India, we are reminded of the deep religious and cultural ties that bind our regions. 🇺🇸 🇮🇳
Shri K Annamalai, India's charismatic political and social leader, visited the BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi on 15 August 2025. Overwhelmed and mesmerized, he called it "A Temple for the Ages" and "21st Century's Greatest Collaboration".
