At the event, 30 American-born youths were initiated as Hindu Swamis by spiritual leader Swami Maharaj. They come from diverse educational and professional backgrounds and played a vital role in the construction of the temple.
Hinduism, traditionally known as Sanatan Dharma, is composed of diverse traditions, each with its own distinct theology, philosophy, rituals, and practices. Distinguished speakers, scholars and thought leaders from throughout the Hindu community attended the event.
The BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple is the world's second-largest Hindu temple after Cambodia's 12th-century Angkor Wat Temple.
"Today, as we embrace the significance of Rakshabandhan, the day of protection, remember that Bhagwan Swaminarayan himself stands as our shield," said Mahant Swami Maharaj.
"We are honored to have been graciously welcomed by the Akshardham community. This visit has strengthened our nations' friendship bonds and highlighted the significance of cultural exchange," said Indian-origin US Congressman Ro Khanna.
