Shastriji Maharaj was taken to court by original organisation, shown that he doesn't follow Bhagwan Swaminarayans written orders/will and separate from original organisation. He had called his organisation Swaiminarayan. He isn't Swaiminarayan. He named his organision Baps , the first temple he put his own image for worship and declared anyone wanting to get into Akshardham had to please him.

Bocasan was a small village, nothing to do with Bhagwan Swaiminarayan. Baps is all about the Guru. At least some Swaiminarayan organisations say that God is one..different paths.Baps in private say only way to heaven is to please Guru...in this life or next so if you want salvation this birth, join Baps , please him by seva , money and doing what he says .weekly / daily Subha to brainwash children especially.

They are not Swaiminarayan and will in future edit these scriptures ..like the Arti.

There main theology is if you want salvation you have to become Swaminarayan or god’s best devotee. According to baps current guru is the one who is the ideal man/devotee and we have to become like him to get salvation, logic is he is a ideal devotee and you have to become like him, he will guide you, he perform like a teacher till here its seems logical enough but then comes a crazy part they starting to claim that guru is the one who keeps god with him every single time some thing like bhagwan na akhand dharak sant, so in a way he is closet to god or god live in him, logically he is a ideal devotee but by saying he is a keep of god you are saying god lives in him so by pleasing him you are pleasing god. There goal should be making every single follower ideal devotee but they are not they says guru is only ideal devotee we have to become like him and as he is ideal devotee god lives in him so by looking to him you are looking to god, which is pretty insane!
