In a message Vaz said, "I am incredibly sad to hear that our spiritual Guru Pramukh Swami Maharaj has passed from this world. I send my most heartfelt condolences to the Hindu community and especially the SwaminarayanCommunity both in the UK and India and across the world.
Pramukh Swami, the spiritual head of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, passed away last evening in Gujarat.
"He was a special man, and those from all walks of life will feel this loss. I can remember the first time I met him at Heathrow Airport when he arrived to visit the old Temple at Neasden. All around the world we see his inspiration in the Temples that have been built.
