Abstract Swaminarayan Hinduism is a rapidly expanding transnational Hindu movement with followers and institutions throughout India and abroad, especially in the United States, Britain, East Africa, and Australasia. It is rooted in its formation in India at the cusp of the early modern and colonial period and is now growing through modern transnational networks. New discoveries, recent research, and new interpretation of the history, doctrine, devotional arts, and transnational developments provide a foundation for better, more comprehensive understanding of the growth, belief, and practice of contemporary Swaminarayan Hinduism. The themes that trace through the analyses are tradition and adaptation in the historical and social process of creating a complex new religious identity in response to social, economic, and political changes. The book contains current academic research from several disciplines—including history, theology, the arts, architecture, sociology, and migration studies—to analyse how the stories, texts, and arts shape and reveal the thought, devotion, conduct, and socio-religious community that guide Swaminarayan Hindus through major transitions across time and space in several contexts.
