Pramukh Swami Maharaj
Pramukh Swami Maharaj (born Shantilal Patel, 7 December 1921; ordained Shastri Narayanswarupdas) is the current guru and is regarded as the fifth spiritual successor of Swaminarayan by followers in the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS), an international Hindu sect.
He is believed by his followers to be in constant communion with Swaminarayan, and to be the manifestation of ''akshar'', the "eternal abode of Swaminarayan".
==Early years==
Shantilal was born in the village of Chansad, Gujarat, on 7 December 1921. His parents, Motibhai and Diwaliben Patel, were disciples of Shastriji Maharaj and followers of the Akshar Purushottam faith.〔Sadhu Paramananddas, translated by Sadhu Tilakratnadas (1995?). Searching Questions and Fulfilling Answers: Pramukh Swami Maharaj in Interview. pp. ix-xi.〕 The parents were both involved in the Swaminarayan fellowship; Diwaliben’s family had been associated with the Swaminarayan fellowship since the time of Bhagatji Maharaj.〔 Shastriji Maharaj had blessed young Shantilal at birth, and had told his father, "This child is ours; when the time is ripe, please give him to us. He will lead thousands to the devotion of God. Through him, thousands will attain liberation."〔
Shantilal’s mother described him as a calm and soft-spoken, yet energetic and active child.〔 His childhood friends recall that Shantilal developed a reputation in the town and in school as an honest, reliable, mature, and kindhearted boy.〔 Even as a child, he possessed an uncommon empathy that led others to seek out and trust his opinions and judgments in matters large and small. Shantilal was raised in a simple home environment, as his family was of modest means. Although he excelled in his studies, in the seventeen years he spent at home before becoming a sadhu, Shantilal only had the opportunity to attend school for six years. As he grew older, Shantilal helped his household by doing chores on the family farm.
