26 Sept. 2002, Sarangpur

Namaskar and Jai Swaminarayan.

On the fateful day of Tuesday 24-9-2002, terrorists attacked Akshardham, the cultural and spiritual center in Gandhinagar. They mercilessly killed and injured innocent visiting pilgrims. The whole world was shocked by this unprovoked attack.

In the aftermath of this tragic event, your heartfelt message of sympathy and support has given us much comfort. I have no words to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support and prayers.

I pray at the holy feet of Bhagwan Swaminarayan and all sages that such tragic attacks never afflict anyone, anywhere in the world.
