With all My heart, I meditate on Shree Krishna, who resides in the divine abode Vrindavan; with Radha on his left and Shree residing within his heart. ||1||

By this slok, the Supreme Lord Swaminarayan indicates the importance of initiating every deed with a prayer to the Lord.

Shree Krishna is a generic name for the supreme Lord, i.e. Lord Swaminarayan. Vrindavan is a holy city on the banks of the river Yamuna, but in this context, it refers to pure and pious hearts. Radha refers to the Lord’s Param-ekantik-mukta, emancipated souls who reside in close proximity to the Lord’s murti in Akshardham, the divine abode of Lord Swaminarayan. Shree is another name for the goddess of wealth and prosperity, Laxmi, but in this context, it refers to the Anadi-mukta, the greatest status of a liberated soul, who live within the Lord’s murti in union with His murti.

Thus in this slok, Lord Swaminarayan has described His Supreme abode, Akshardham.
