The uniqueness of the BAPS faith lies in its belief in religion that aims at the earth, not just at the skies.

Bhagwan Swaminarayan actively propagated social reforms in India more than two centuries ago, and that tradition has been carried on by his spiritual successors. Today, Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the spiritual head of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, personally examines the details of socially beneficial projects and activities.

From recycling millions of cans in London to recharging wells in rural India; From campaigning against harmful addictions to providing pure herbal medicines; From building and maintaining beautiful permanent structures such as the famous Swaminarayan Hindu Mandir (London) to setting up large platforms for single-day conventions; From organizing cultural festivals attended by millions to inspiring individuals to lead a morally pure life; from providing free education to giving extensive career guidance... BAPS believes that social change can come only if people join in and contribute voluntary effort towards removing society's ills.

All of the activities detailed in this site are but small examples of the vast contribution the organization is making in all spheres of life - moral, spiritual, cultural, educational, environmental and social, all over the world.
