by Sparks Fly in Dwarka
Dwarka, March 25, 2025 – A fresh storm hit Dwarka as the Guggli Brahmin community took to the streets, furious over comments about Lord Dwarkadhish linked to the Swaminarayan Sect. The uproar stems from a book tied to the sect, stirring up tensions late on March 23. Locals say it’s an insult to their beloved deity, and they’re not staying quiet about it in 2025’s latest clash.
Book Ignites Anger
The trouble started with a publication called “Shreeji Sankalpmurti Sadguru Gopalanand Swami Ni Vato”, where story number 33 allegedly questions Lord Dwarkadhish’s stature. The Guggli Brahmins, guardians of Dwarka’s traditions, say it’s a slap to their faith. By Monday, protests swelled outside the Dwarkadhish Temple, with voices demanding the sect answer for this controversial remark.
Community Stands Firm
The Guggli Brahmin leaders didn’t hold back, calling for strict action against the Swaminarayan Sect. “This isn’t just words – it’s an attack on our god,” one protester shouted. Hundreds joined a rally, showing unity and strength. Posts on X hint at a meeting planned to push for legal steps, signaling this fight’s far from over.
History Meets Outrage
Lord Dwarkadhish, Krishna’s form as Dwarka’s king, is sacred here, tied to a temple over 2,500 years old. The Swaminarayan Sect, founded by Sahajanand Swami in the 1800s, has clashed with locals before. But this time, the Guggli Brahmins say it’s personal – their deity’s honor is at stake, and they want the sect to pay for crossing the line.
What’s Next?
As tempers flare, the Guggli Brahmins demand the book be pulled and an apology issued. Some even warn of court cases if nothing’s done fast. The Swaminarayan Sect hasn’t spoken yet, but with Dwarka buzzing and protests growing, this 2025 controversy could shake things up big-time. Will peace return, or is this just the start?
