Adarshjivandas Swami, the biographer of Pramukh Swami Maharaj, narrated
episodes from the life of Pramukh Swami Maharaj in his series ‘Pramukh Charitam’. He explained, “The replica of New Delhi’s Akshardham at the heart of the Festival grounds is one of the most well-known Hindu temples in the world. Akshardham New Delhi reflects Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s tremendous design and management skills where the whole complex was completed and gifted to the nation in only five years. Renowned architect
Satish Gujral said, ‘I am an artist, an architect and know about construction. This project should take at least fifty years, but seeing it completed in five years seems an impossibility. I am truly stunned.’ World-famous cartoonist R. K. Laxman visited Akshardham and said, ‘By nature, I am very critical and cynical, but there is not a single element in Akshardham which is not perfect.’
