Significance
The Archavatar Stotra was composed by Yogiraj Sadguru Shree Gopalanand Swami at the behest of Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan. The concluding verses of the stotra explain its profound significance (mahima), stating that whoever recites it once at the end of their morning puja, or once every Poonam (full moon) at Vadtal, will have all their desires fulfilled.
Furthermore, reciting this stotra is considered equivalent to performing all nine types of bhakti (Navda Bhakti), leading to happiness both on Earth and in Akshardham. It is said that reciting this stotra eleven times daily will relieve debt, suffering, poverty, disease, sorrow, fear, and hostility, while bringing prosperity and the four Purusharthas: Dharma (righteousness), Artha (wealth), Kama (desire), and Moksha (liberation).
