What is the Swarved Mahamandir about?

Swarved Mahamandir is a temple which offers a space for devotees who wish to pray or meditate. It is named after the Swarved, a spiritual text penned by Sadguru Shri Sadafal Deoji Maharaj (who is an eternal yogi and the founder of Vihangam Yoga). The Mahamandir encourages the messages of Swarveda and highlights the concept of Brahm Vidya. Brahm Vidya means to hold a state of consummate Zen by taking on a body of knowledge which empowers spiritual seekers and is characterised by consistent peace and happiness. The temple's vision is to 'illuminate humankind with its magnificent spiritual aura and engulf the world in a state of peaceful alertness' as stated on the temple's website. The building is spread over an area of 30,00,000 square feet and is constructed as a 7-floor structure.

Beautiful details have been included in the architecture such as 101 fountains, pink sandstone walls, intricately carved teakwood ceilings and doors, walls carved with verses of the Swarveda, and a garden offering medicinal herbs.
