Swaminarayan instituted the sampradaya's mandir tradition to facilitate followers' devotional worship of God.[7]:65[8]:353 During his lifetime, Swaminarayan constructed six mandirs: Ahmedabad (1822), Bhuj (1823), Vadtal (1824), Dholera (1826), Junagadh (1828), and Gadhada (1828).[9] Basic practices of gnan include the daily study of scriptures like the Vachanamrut and Shikshapatri and weekly participation in congregational worship services (sabha/sabhā) at the mandir (temple), in which scriptural discourses geared towards personal and spiritual growth occur.[49]:107 In the Vachanamrut, Swaminarayan explains that adhering to the Aksharbrahman Guru's commands is commensurate to perfectly embodying gnan—that is, realizing oneself as the atman.[3]:62[50]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1480.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1480.txt
