The BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) is a spiritual, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to improving society through individual growth by fostering the Hindu ideals of faith, unity, and selfless service. Its worldwide network of 3,800 centers supports these character-building activities.

Under the guidance and leadership of His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj, BAPS aspires to build a community that is free of addictions as well as morally, ethically, and spiritually pure. For more details, please visit www.baps.org.

His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj is the sixth and current spiritual successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. He was ordained a swami in 1961 and named Sadhu Keshavjivandas. His devout, humble, and service-focused life earned him the innermost blessings of his gurus. Mahant Swami Maharaj travels throughout the world inspiring people through his insightful spiritual discourses and disciplined conduct. His virtuous lifestyle and profound devotion to Bhagwan Swaminarayan and gurus are ideals toward which devotees strive. Mahant Swami Maharaj became the guru and President of BAPS upon Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s passing in 2016.

The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Hindu Mandir is a Hindu Temple that sits off the 71 freeway in Chino Hills, CA. Inaugurated in 2012, the traditional, stone carved Hindu mandir, open to all, is a key center point of Southern California’s Hindu community. The mandir serves as a place of worship, bastion of community, cultural and charitable activities, and a monument to the preservation of ancient Indian art and architecture.
