Nishkulanand Swami (1766–1848) was a saint of the Swaminarayan Sampraday and one of Swaminarayan's paramhansas.〔 Page 265〕 ==Biography== Nishkulanand Swami was born on 15 January 1766 to a Suthar family residing in a small village called Shekhpat, near Jamnagar in present day Gujarat, India. His parents were Rambhai and Amritbai and was named Lalji on birth. He grew up to be an expert at carpentry.〔 He became a follower of Swaminarayan after the passing away of his Guru-preceptor Ramanand Swami.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rajkotgurukul.org/swaminarayan-sect/nand-santo/nand-saints/vairagyamurti-shri-nishkulanand-swami/ )〕 It is said that when Swaminarayan wished to leave this world, he informed Nishkulanand Swami 3 days in advance and asked to prepare a palanquin for his bier. Nishkulanand Swami prepared it during night only. When the he left the human body, all the other saints asked him to prepare a palanquin. He said, "It is ready" and brought it. Everyone asked him, "When he was alive, how did you prepare it?" He replied, "I am a heavy hearted obedient servant. Any damn or any hard order may be, I must obey it." In Swaminarayan Hinduism, Nishkulanand Swami is regarded as an ideal example of vairagya, or non-attachment to worldly objects.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rajkotgurukul.org/swaminarayan-sect/nand-santo/nand-saints/vairagyamurti-shri-nishkulanand-swami/ )〕 He died at the age of 82 while residing in Dholera. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nishkulanand Swami」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
