Jai Swaminarayan...👏 Yeah! The mandir is stunning, when it is the Lord's work, it can't be any less than pleasing! 😉 Swaminarayan mandirs are built all over the world and each one is even more stunning than the last... God's power is truly flowing 😳

and kneeduh2000, if you ever visit the UK, please do come to our mandir in watford, the money was given by a WHITE man-heard of the beatles?😉it was 1 of the band members-george harrisson. and all i will say is that the most religious people often tend to be the white people hehe, there are a LOTTT of converts to hindusim especially in this country-i find this more with hare krishna devotees though.😊all i type in on google was 'hare krishna' and it gave me a load of white devotees..



even russell brand visits our mandir! so why cant any1 else? hun, feel free to visit our mandir whenever you want, they are truly gorjousss!😳😊we welcome people of all races into our community, we don't discriminate..and as long as no-one takes the piss or tries 2 degrade our deities, then we have no objection!


hpe u didnt get the wrong msg of me tryin 2 get u 2 convert, juts saying there are a lot of white people in our mandir, so if them then why not you?😉


Jai swaminarayan!



when i was very young i saw the watford mandir 😳 i want to go there again... everyone says its great 😃
ive been to the one in Neasden- Swami Narayan 😃 made by them aswell (Toronto) 😃 😳 😳

ive seen this photo and seen about this Mandir in a magazine 😳

Jai Swaminarayan!! 😃

yepp, i've been to the swaminarayan mandir too! in neasden, but dont go that often, its kinda far!nicely built mandir gotta admit, but i dislike the way they really try hard 2 seperate the boys and girls😕

all mandirs are gr8 really! hehe but i luvv my hare krishna mandir! evry1 is free 2 go there no matter what race or religion! Hinduism welcomes all! a proud hindu!😃

there's a lot of converts in society, the billionaire alfred ford-name linked with ford cars😉converted to hinduism, and recently donate 10 million to build up temples in place like hawaii, honolulu etc. if im not mistaken he changed his name to ambarish das..sumthin lyk that lol. then you have the american spiritual leader of hare krishna movement in US, who isn't even an indian lol-his name is tamal krishna goswami-obviously changed after converting.

these ppl set a good example! hope the word keeps spreading😊

Hey thanks hun...lol yea don't worry i didn't get the wrong msg, i clearly understood what you were saying...thanks for the info, the pictures are soo pretty, i'm going to ask my friends to come with me....

That's cool to know that the guy from Beatles donated money....and yea many religions are very welcoming, as long as people don't discriminate and harm the worship place...but yea i just wanted to confirm, if i can go or not....one place i would love to visit is Taj Mahal

haha that was funny how someone actually named their cat laksmi...
