BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Cherry Hill is a Hindu temple rooted in the Swaminarayan tradition, which unites spiritual practice with active service to society. Shaped by the teachings of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, formalized by Shastriji Maharaj, and carried forward through the influence of Pramukh Swami Maharaj and Mahant Swami Maharaj, the mandir is part of a broader tradition that emphasizes devotion, character, and selfless action. Within the wider BAPS community and alongside BAPS Charities, this tradition supports volunteer-led efforts in health and wellness, education, environmental awareness, community empowerment, and disaster relief, reflecting a religious identity closely tied to compassion and public service.
