Purpose & Structure

Charitable Purpose

TheBAPSSwaminarayan Sanstha advocates a life based on spiritualprogression. The objective behind all of BAPSactivities is to become closer to God, one step at a time. The benefits of taking such steps are readily apparent upon furtherexamination: mental stability, peace of mind, reduction of stress and most importantly lasting happiness. As Hindus, followers of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha integrate this belief through the different stages of life. The BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha facilitates this way for hundreds of Hindus around New Zealand through five Mandirs.

BAPS believes in developing individuals in every aspect of their lives. Mandirs are a platform for success. They afford the opportunity to develop talents and present them to an appreciative audience.
