From the Business:The BAPS Akshardham in Robbinsville, New Jersey, will be the third Akshardham, or abode of the Divine, after the temples in Gujarat and New Delhi - the latter of which is the largest Hindu temple complex in the world. Attempting to combine ancient scriptural codes and New Jersey zoning laws, the Akshardham, which encompasses a Maha Mandir, a traditional temple, a welcome center, a museum, and an event space, sits on a vast 183-acre plot of land. Having this Akshardham here on American soil is not just the triumph of a community or the triumph of the diaspora - it is the triumph of the nation. The New Jersey Akshardham, which has been highly anticipated by the Hindu American community for more than a decade, has made national headlines since 2021— when a lawsuit alleging forced labor hit the BAPS organization. Though the lawsuit has since been put on hold, the trademark volunteerism of the BAPS denomination has sparked questions about what constitutes unpaid work and what is selfless service to the Divine. Members of the BAPS community are largely known for their selfless service, or seva, which they see as an act of devotion to God. Through their seva, BAPS has opened 100 temples across the United States alone. Next year, the sampradaya, or Hindu sect, will celebrate 50 years of history in North America. “Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s ultimate singular vision [was] that, no matter which belief, which background you come from, this place is here to enrich everybody and allow everybody to feel peace and inspiration,” said Inamdar, who works as a chemical engineer. “The Akshardham is truly allowing the world to be one family.” Devotees and visitors will enter the New Jersey Akshardham through the Nilkanth Plaza, named for the teenage form of Swaminarayan, who is said to have traveled throughout India to reestablish the ideals of Sanatana Dharma, or Hinduism. A 49-foot statue of Nilkanth Varni, which represents his 49 years on earth, stands at the front of the massive campus.Read more
