BAPS Akshardham Investigation Closure: A Statement of Gratitude and Faith
The BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) today expressed its deep gratitude for the decision by the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey to conclude their investigation concerning BAPS and the construction of BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham in Robbinsville, New Jersey.
This outcome affirms BAPS’ longstanding position that akshardham was built entirely through the selfless dedication, volunteer efforts, and financial contributions of thousands of devotees. The temple represents a significant undertaking by the Hindu community in the United States, demonstrating its growing integration and contribution to the nation’s cultural landscape.
BAPS recognizes the challenges presented during the investigation and reaffirms its commitment to principles of truth, humility, and cooperation, tenets central to its spiritual teachings. Guided by the ideology of “Satyameva Jayate” – truth alone triumphs - the institution maintained faith throughout the process.
The Sanstha acknowledges the grace of Bhagwan Swaminarayan and the blessings of His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj, which have strengthened the fellowship and deepened its faith.
BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham remains open to all, offering a space to experience the rich art, traditions, and spirit of selfless service that define the organization. BAPS extends its prayers for the continued prosperity and well-being of all.
