The Official Facebook Page of Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Kalupur, Ahmedabad The prime objective of I.S.S.O. is "To advance the Sanatana Dharma(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanatana_Dharma) , in accordance with the principles and teachings of the Swaminarayan Sampraday(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swaminarayan_Sampraday) , founded and ordained by Sahajanand Swami(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahajanand_Swami) ", enabling Lord Swaminarayan's(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Swaminarayan)  devotees from both the NarNarayan Dev Gadi(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NarNarayan_Dev_Gadi)  (Ahmedabad(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmedabad) ) & LaxmiNarayan Dev Gadi(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaxmiNarayan_Dev_Gadi)  (Vadtal(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadtal) ) to practice their religious duties in harmony.The Swaminarayan Sampraday is devotion-focused and advocates God within the disciplines of dharma. Swaminarayan has propagated a philosophy where he says that God is supreme, has a divine form, is the all-doer and is completely independent. He simply stated that jiva (souls) never merge or dissolve into God and neither are they part of God, but are always subservient to God. Redemption consists in the realisation of ultimate religion comprising righteousness, right knowledge, detachment and, above all, devotion to that God.
