Akshar (Hinduism)
Akshar, "imperishable," "unalterable," "undestroyable," Atman, the one who is unchanging, forever beyond maya, is a term found in Indian Sanskrit scriptures. It is a prominent part of Swaminarayan Sampradaya's theology. It is contrasted with ''kshara'', "destroyable," Prakṛti, bound by maya. Originally, ''akshar'' had the meaning of "syllable" in Sanskrit philosophy, but came to mean "first and fundamental principle of the cosmic order." According to the Bhagavad Gita, Purushottam is explained as above and beyond kshar and akshar purushas or as an omnipotent cosmic being. For example, verses 15.16 and 15.17 of the Bhagavad Gita The Bhagavad Gita (; sa, श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता, lit=The Song by God, translit=śrīmadbhagavadgītā;), often referred to as the Gita (), is a 700- verse Hindu scripture that is part of the epic ''Mahabharata'' (c ... explain: Notes References Sources * * Hindu philosophical concepts {{Hinduism-stub ...

Akshar-Purushottam Darshan
Akshar-Purushottam Darshan (''Akṣara-Puruṣottama Darśana'') or Aksarabrahma-Parabrahma-Darsanam, "Akshar-Purushottam philosophy," is a designation used by BAPS-swamis as an alternative name for the Swaminarayan Darshana, Swaminarayan's view or teachings, to distinguish it from other Vedanta-traditions. It is based on Swaminarayan's distinction between Parabrahman (Purushottam, Narayana) and Aksharbrahman as two distinct eternal realities, which in this view sets Swaminarayan's teachings apart from other Vedanta-traditions. It is an essential element for the BAPS and it's ''Akṣara-Puruṣottama Upāsanā'' ( "worship"),Swaminarayan sanshtaWorship of God with the Guru - Akshar Purushottam Philosophy/ref> in which Purushottam c.q.
