This page relates ‘Conclusion’ of the study on the Prasthanatrayi Swaminarayan Bhashyam in Light of Swaminarayan Vachanamrut (Vacanamrita). His 18th-century teachings belong to Vedanta philosophy and were compiled as the Vacanamrita, revolving around the five ontological entities of Jiva, Ishvara, Maya, Aksharabrahman, and Parabrahman. Roughly 200 years later, Bhadreshdas composed a commentary (Bhasya) correlating the principles of Vachanamrut.
13. Conclusion
Bhagavān Svāminārāyaṇa and his Gunātīta Sādhus have lived and taught a unique and practical path of spiritual sādhanā that leads to the realization of ātman, Brahman and Paramātman. Svāminārāyaṇa sādhanā provides a detailed description of the importance of the Brahmasvarūpa Guru by which all aspirants can succeed in their spiritual quest and experience the ultimate bliss of Parabrahman. When we analyze any traditional sādhanā, especially the spiritual endeavor, it is God-centric.
Any spiritual endeavor, be it in Indian tradition or in the western tradition, possesses its unique qualities. I have tried to cover the broad, cumbersome, and exceptionally complex topic in a few pages. We must content ourselves with the upper mentioned sections, wherein we discussed important points of Svāminārāyaṇa the tradition. But these all points are capable of explaining the Svāminārāyaṇa sādhanā on the base of the Prasthānatrayī. In short, we can say that this sādhanā process is unique among the various schools of Vedanta.
