सुखनिधि घनश्याम मिले मोय
अक्षरपति दिव्य परब्रह्म स्वामी
रटु नाम आठो जाम
घोर कलिमें सतयुग स्थापयो
धर्मभक्ति सुखधाम
प्रगट प्रताप छायो त्रिलोकमे
अधर्मको निकस्यो ठाम
ज्ञानमुनिके प्रगट को सेवी
सब गये अक्षरधाम

Sukhnidhi Ghanshyam mile moy
Aksharpati divya parabrahma swami
Ratu naam athu jaam
Ghor kalime satyug sthapyo
Dharmabhakti sukhdham
Pragat pratap chhayo trilokme
Adharmko niksyo thaam
Gyanmuni ke pragat ko sevi
Sab gaye Akshardham

Bandish Insights:
In the Sahajanand Gaave YouTube channel description it is mentioned that happiness is an eternal desire of all living beings. People try to find it in many ways such as sensual pleasures, nature, wealth, relationships, doctrines, or philosophical thinking. However, most leave this world without experiencing it fully.
Sadguru Gyananand Swami expresses through this composition that he has discovered true happiness in Ghanshyam (Bhagwan Swaminarayan). According to him, real happiness is attained only through association with the manifest form of the Divine. One may learn and preach about God, but without experiencing the manifest divinity the search for happiness continues endlessly. His composition is therefore an affirmation that true happiness becomes attainable through devotion and association with the divine presence of Bhagwan Swaminarayan.
