In Sacred Akshardham

A roshni in a very dark world 
rose high and wide
Watching over the atman that roamed
But little did we know,
Your gaze of wondrous stars
glowed a saffron sunrise far and wide

In our hearts You continue to bleed gnan 
And our souls will love you forever more

A celebration of life yet to be cherished.
How beautiful,

Your time has come, my Ageless Wonder,

I will make Thee proud,

For You are finally Home.

Yaad ati hain teri Bapa 

Jabase aankh khulee tabase Aapke darshan hue,
Aapke darshan hua jese mere sanso sanso ki nas jaagi uthee,

Meri har mushkil, har sukh, har dukh mein Apane hamara saath diya.
We asked for a dream, you gave us the world,
You made us strong, gave us courage, worked your Will through us;

Aur abh Aap humko chhodke chale gaye tho meri duniya rukh gayi 
Tab hum yaad karane lage Aapake sikhaaya har sanskar, har ashirvad.

In moments of drought Your kindness 
Flooded our hearts
With memories as vast as the oceans spirit,
And in them Your happiness and ethereal light
Will blossom to the ends of time;
Aur abh phir se jeene lagae, yaad karake Aapaka har haseen darshan.

O mere bapa, o mere bhagwan aap haradam mere saat rena mere dil mein,

Om Shree Swaminarayan Bapa Swami Bapa Bhagvate Namah

Jay Shree Swaminarayan

To Our Dearest Father, our life changed over night,  some may say for the worse, some may say for the better.   For us we lost our Diamond.  A true gem that taught us that no matter how bad the storm The Lord will always have something better for us in the end.

Its not been easy to fill the emptiness that has filled our hearts.  But as we close our eyes all we see is Your amazing smile and divine darshan guiding us on the right path of life.  We know you will continue to help us in life.  And for this we promise we will forever remain in the karan satsang and continue in following the amazing Swaminarayan Gadi.

We can not Thank You enough for leaving us with ample amounts of memories, as today this is what helps us get through our dark days.

We shall forever keep loving You.

You will forever remain in our hearts, your beloved barko.
