Some Moral Conducts


Note: Please try to read these blogs chronologically, they will make more sense.)

Bhagwan Swaminarayan has set some moral conducts for householders and sadhus which include:


For Householders:
  • Live an addiction-free life; Do not partake in drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
  • Consume a strict vegetarian diet free from tamasic foods, such as onion and garlic.
  • Refrain from stealing, violence, slander, and fraud.
  • Live a morally pure life free from adultery.
For Sadhus:
  • Nishkam - Live a life free from lust; Follow the discipline of eight-fold celibacy.
  • Nisneh - Live a life free from attachment; Offer complete servitude and love for God.
  • Niswad - Live a life free from gluttony or vicarious taste; Relish only in the flavor of God’s splendor.
  • Nirman - Live a life free from ego; Practice humility and selfless service.
  • Nirlobh - Live a life free from greed; Satisfaction is only derived from attaining God.
