Akshardham (philosophy)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about a philosophy of the Swaminarayan Sect. For other meanings, see Akshardham (disambiguation).
Akshardham is believed to be the divine abode of Swaminarayan by his followers.[1] The followers of Swaminarayan believed that the jiva or soul goes to Akshardham after salvation to attain moksha.[2]
It is made from the words Akshar meaning indestructible and Dham meaning abode or home. Hence, Akshardham is the immortal abode of God or the abode of Lord Swaminarayan. This is a common term used in the Swaminarayan Hindu philosophy.
