Hagiography
<p>Brahmanand Swami was a saint of the Swaminarayan Sampraday, a Hindu sect founded by Swaminarayan. He was born in 1772 in the Ashiya lineage of Charans to Shambhudanji Aashiya and Laluba Charan in Khan village, Sirohi. Even as a young boy, he showed his talent in the royal court by composing and reciting poems. He was well educated and later became a part of the King of Udaipur's court. Ladu Dan learnt Dingal and Sanskrit scriptures from Ladhaji Rajput of Dhamadka, becoming a scholar in Dingal, poetry and scriptures. He was honored in the stately courts of Jaipur, Jodhpur, and others, which were impressed by his poetry.</p> <p>Ladudanji was in Bhuj where he had heard about Swaminarayan and went to meet him. Swaminarayan was addressing a gathering in Bhuj. Ladudanji was attracted to him. Swaminarayan returned to Gadhada with the poet Ladudanji. Ladudanji lived a majestic and royal life as befitting a courtier. He was always clad in the most precious attire, adorned with jewellery fit for royalty. Swaminarayan did not like such a luxurious life style but instead of preaching directly he gradually persuaded Ladudanji who became an ascetic. On the way from Gadhpur to Siddhapur, at a small village named Gerita, Swaminarayan stopped and administered Bhagwati Deeksha (initiation as sadhu) to Ladu Dan by giving sainthood name 'Shrirangdasji'. After some time, he was renamed as Brahmanand Swami.</p> <p>Brahmanand Swami was revered as a saint and one of Swaminarayan's Paramahamsa. He was also known as one of Swaminarayan's Ashta Kavi's (eight poets) within the Swaminarayan Sampraday. In the scriptures of the Swaminarayan Sampraday, it was noted that Brahmanand Swami was an Avatar of Brahma. He passed away in 1832.</p>
