Pramukh Swami built global faith on Vedic values: Clinton

TIL Desk/World/Washington-Pramukh Swami, the spiritual head of the Swaminarayan sect who passed away last week, built a global faith and community founded on Vedic values, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has said. “Pramukh Swami didn’t just teach virtues he lived them every day. That s what made him a Guru to millions of devotees around the world.

From the Akshardham Mandir in New Jersey to the countless temples that he blessed in the US, Pramukh Swami built a global faith and community founded on Vedic values,” Clinton said in a statement yesterday.  Ending her condolence message with ‘Jai Swaminarayan’, Clinton said her husband Bill Clinton was fortunate enough to visit the spiritual leader both here in the United States and at the Akshardham Mandir in Gujarat.

“In meeting many of his followers, I’ve been touched by his wisdom as well,” she said. Noting that Pramukh Swami s deep sense of devotion led him to spend his life revitalizing communities in need, Clinton said his worship of karma inspired him to promote peace and justice in India, America, and all around the world.
