The BAPS Swaminarayan Research Journal

We are pleased to present Volume 4, Issue 1 of The BAPS Swaminarayan Research Journal, which explores the tangible expressions of spiritual practice and examines the intricate relationship between principle and application. The articles within this issue delve into how values such as ahiṃsā, ethical duty, doctrinal truth, and fraternal bonds are articulated and enacted across diverse historical, social, and textual landscapes. Employing methodologies ranging from historiographical revision and policy analysis to biographical inquiry and classical exegesis, the contributions collectively illuminate how philosophical convictions shape both individual lives and collective endeavors. Together, these pieces provide a multi-faceted look at how philosophy is not merely an abstract discipline, but a lived reality that informs history, society, and moral formation.
