“I think Akshardham is a living example that this ancient
culture is very much alive and so very beautiful. I think every
child should know this and learn from this. It is very educative,
informative and skilfully sculpted -- and that to, done in such
a short period of time! What inspiration can do is shown here.
Nobody else can do it, only saints can do this. In such a short
period of time, such a magnificent monument -- that in Delhi
is most welcome. I think every citizen of this country must
see it.” - 2/11/2005

“It is a very astounding creation, and we have been dumbfounded.
Showing the essence of our heritage from Kruthayuga to Kaliyuga,
the miraculous work performed here by the deep-rooted service
of the sadhus and the volunteers is laudable. This is like Vaikuntha,
which is created by the vision of Pramukh Swami Maharaj.
In this Kaliyuga, whosoever comes here
and does darshan will attain the merit (punya) of doing darshan
of Vaikuntha.”
"By having darshan of the Akshardham
complex, I feel that I have gained merit (punya) equal to
performing pilgrimage to all of the holy places of India.”

“I have been impressed by almost everything here: the
temple, the sculptures, the stone, very intricately carved designs,
the figures. The setting of the whole museum - I have been very
impressed. But I have been most impressed by the new ‘Disneyland’
(the Sanskruti Vihar) which you have created for the Indian
Vedic civilization - that gave me much joy. I envision that
when westerners will come, they will go through it for 10 minutes
and they will have a total impression about how our civilization
began, how it developed, how it matured, how it diversified
and how it excelled in many-many dimensions; you have done it
very well.” - 14/10/05

“Pramukh Swami Maharaj is the saint of the century…Whoever
will come here will be not only be impressed but will also be
inspired and uplifted. He or she will be changed. Whoever comes
- all will have great, great inspiration. You have created a
place where people being here, even for a minute, feel like
they are in heaven. They feel like they are back in time.”

“The experience of this divine Akshardham dissolves one’s
conceit and helps one realize the Almighty. My mind has become
elated by the darshan of Akshardham. Inspired by His Holiness
Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the conviction of the sadhus and dedicated
devotees has manifest itself through the installation of Bhagwan
Swaminarayan in the Capital and heart of our nation, New Delhi,
on the banks of the Yamuna. As a result, the message of Bhagwan
Swaminarayan will reach out to the entire nation and the entire
world. The noble campaign of the constructive and redemptive
legion of sadhus will motivate all and elevate our nation.”

“I will be lacking in finding any proper word to describe
an experience which is in this world but is not of this world.
I have only one word, it is just ‘Adbhut’.”
“Akshardham on the banks of the
Yamuna in Delhi is a phenomenal event. It is definitely going
to make a substantial effect on the consciousness and the
psyche of not only the minds of Hindus, but all humans. Because
the message which comes out of Akshardham, at this grand manifestation,
is not limited to the Hindu populace, but it is meant for
all creation, including humanity, and it is definitely going
to benefit them.” 29/10/05
