According to the Swaminarayan tradition, Sahajanand Swami became known as Swaminarayan, and the Uddhava Sampradaya became known as the Swaminarayan Sampradaya, after a gathering in which he taught the Swaminarayan Mantra to his followers.

Swaminarayan was born Ghanshyam Pande in Chhapaiya, Uttar Pradesh, India in 1781. In 1792, he began a seven-year pilgrimage across India at the age of 11 years, adopting the name Nilkanth Varni.
He spread the message of Bhagwan Swaminarayan far and wide by travelling to the towns and villages of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. Through letters, his message crossed the seas to East Africa.
