Dissolve Differences and Show Solidarity by supporting our army - physically, emotionally, financially.

Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s Prayer and Public Appeal

"When our real heroes, our brave soldiers are sacrificing their lives protecting our nation, it is necessary they experience that the whole country stands united with them. Time has come to dissolve all differences of caste and creed, class and clan, region and religion, party and position - and show solidarity by supporting our army - physically, emotionally and financially. We should be fully committed and extend our help through our thoughts, words and deeds. Such is my appeal to the people of India."

" For the martyrs who have laid down their lives, may Parmatma bless their souls with peace. May their children and family members gain inner strength to survive this crisis, such is my wholehearted prayer at the feet of Lord Swaminarayan. And to all people of India, it is my humble request that whichever religion you belong to, and whoever you believe in - God, Guru or Divine Energy - pray to them with all your heart for the strength, safety and success of our soldiers."

" May one and all get immeasurable strength to solve the crisis that has befallen our nation, and to overcome this challenge may a strong atmosphere of unity be created throughout our whole nation. May peace prevail everywhere and may God bless the soul of the martyrs with Divine Bliss. Such are my innermost prayers."

Jai Swaminarayan,
