| Subject: | A Resolution Commemorating the 100th Birthday of His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj |
| It is the custom of the Pennsylvania Senate to bring full recognition and just tribute to men and women who accept the responsibility of moral leadership and render the wisdom of human understanding. As such, I am proud to commemorate the 100th birthday of His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the spiritual leader and Guru of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS), a worldwide Hindu organization dedicated to promoting harmony between individuals, within families and amongst diverse communities. A simple, humble and spiritual personality, the great Guru was the fifth spiritual successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Pramukh Swami Maharaj followed a spiritual path from an early age, seeking purity, renouncing material possessions, and possessing a striking humility, saintliness, and selfless desire to help all. His unique combination of spirituality and leadership has grown BAPS globally, encompassing more than 1,100 Mandirs worldwide and 150 centers in North America, and created grand stone mandirs in Houston, Chicago, Toronto, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Robbinsville. These mandirs offer a welcoming and spiritual space for thousands of families as well as worship, fellowship, communal meals, education, and activities for young and old, creating a true home for the faithful. A rare soul, His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj always gave enlightenment, guidance, and wisdom to the many entrusted to his care and administered abundantly and unstintingly to the spiritual and corporal needs of all. Please join me in sponsoring this important resolution to commemorate the 100th birthday of His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the spiritual leader of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha. |
