श्री चम्पेश्वरनाथ मन्दिर ग्राम चम्पारण मे स्थित है महासमुन्द जिला से इसकि दुरी लगभग 25 कि.मी. कि है वहीं रायपुर जिला से राजीम होते हुए इसकि दुरी लगभग 55 कि.मी. है। चंपारण रायपुर जिला अंतर्गत आता है यहाँ चंपेश्वर महादेव मंदिर व श्री महाप्रभु वल्लभचार्य बैठक विशेष आकर्षण का केंद्र है। यहाँ जाने के लिए रायपुर से नियमित बसें चलती है साथ ही रायपुर ही निकटतम रेल्वे स्टेशन भी है। चम्पारण का एक और भी नाम चांपाझर भी है, छत्तिसगढ़ के पर्यटन स्थलों कि बात आये और चम्पारण का जिक्र ना हो ऐसा संभव हि नहीं है। चम्पारण हर तरह कि खुबियाँ समेटे हुये है चाहे वह प्राकृतिक सौन्दर्य़ कि बात हो या मानवनिर्मित कलाकृतियों कि और तो और मन्दिर ट्रस्ट के लोगों कि सेवा भावना भी काबिले तारिफ है। मन्दिर से जुडि कई प्राचिन कथाएँ है जिनमे श्री वल्लभ जी के जन्म कि कथा बहुप्रचलित है ।
यहाँ श्री चम्पेश्वरनाथ महादेव जी का भी मन्दिर है, इस मन्दिर मे गर्भवति महिलाओं का जाना वर्जित है साथ हि महिलाओं को यहाँ प्रवेश के पहले बाल खोल लेने कि भी सलाह दी जाती है अर्थात बाल बाँधकर अन्दर प्रवेश करना भी मना है। कहा जाता है की आज से 1250 वर्ष पहले चम्पारण सघन वन क्षेत्र था जहाँ लोगो का आना जाना संभव नहीं था तभी यहाँ भगवान त्रिमुर्ति शिव का अवतरण हुआ। लोगों का आवगमन ना होने से भगवान शिव ने एक गाय को अपना निमित्त बनाया यह गाय रोज अपना दुध त्रिमुर्ति शिव को पिलाकर चली जाती थी। जब ग्वाला दुध लेता था तब दुध नहि आता था इस बात से ग्वाले को सन्देह हुआ और उसने एक दिन गाय का पिछा किया तो देखा कि गाय अपना दुध शिवलिंग को पिला रही है, उसने यह बात राजा को बताई और इस तरह यह बात पुरे विश्व में फैल गई और दुर-दुर से लोग भगवान श्री त्रिमुर्ति शिव के दर्शन के लिए आने लगे।

Chhattisgarh (Hindi: छत्तीसगढ़ Chattīsgaṛh pronounced [tʃʰʌttiːsɡʌɽʱ]) is a state in Central India. It is the 10th largest state in India, with an area of 135,190 km2 (52,200 sq mi). With a population of 25.5 million, Chhattisgarh is the 16th most-populated state of the nation. It is a source of electricity and steel for India.[1] Chhattisgarh accounts for 15% of the total steel produced in the country. Chhattisgarh is one of the fastest developing states in India.[2]

Language
Main article: Chhattisgarhi language
The official language of the state is Hindi and is used by non-rural population of the state. Chhattisgarhi, a dialect of Hindi language, is spoken and understood by the majority of people in Chhattisgarh. Telugu is also spoken in parts of Chhattishgarh.
Chhattisgarhi was known as Khaltahi to the surrounding hill-people and as Laria to Sambalpuri and Oriya speakers. Kosali and Oriya are also spoken by a lot of people.As well as Bhojpuri is also spoken by a lot of people[quant.
Culture
A carving in the 10th- or 11th-century Hindu temple of Malhar village. This area, 40 km from Bilaspur, was supposedly a major Buddhist center in ancient times.
The state hosts many religious sects such as Satnami Panth, Kabirpanth, Ramnami Samaj and others. Champaran (Chhattisgarh) is a small town with religious significance as the birthplace of the Saint Vallabhacharya, increasingly important as a pilgrimage site for the Gujarati community.
Chhattisgarh has a significant role in the life of lord Rama.[36] Lord Rama along with his wife Sita and his younger brother Lakshaman had started his Vanvas (exile) in the Bastar [37] region (more precisely Dandakaranya region [38]) of Chhattisgarh. They lived more than 10 years of their 14 years of Vanvas in different places of Chhattisgarh. One of the remarkable place is Shivrinarayan [39] which is nearby Bilaspur [40] district of Chhattisgarh. Shivrinarayan was named after an old lady Shabari.[41] When Ram visited Shabari she said I do not have anything to offer other than my heart, but here are some berry fruits. May it please you, my Lord. Saying so, Shabari offered the fruits she had meticulously collected to Rama. When Rama was tasting them, Lakshmana raised the concern that Shabari had already tasted them and therefore unworthy of eating. To this Rama said that of the many types of food he had tasted, nothing could equal these berry fruits, offered with such devotion. You taste them, then alone will you know. Whomsoever offers a fruit, leaf, flower or some water with love, I partake it with great joy. More details at Shabari.[41]
The Oriya culture is prominent in the eastern parts of Chhattisgarh bordering Odisha.

Crafts
Chhattisgarh is known for Kosa silk and lost wax art. Besides saris and salwar suits, the fabric is used to create lehengas, stoles, shawls and menswear including jackets, shirts, achkans and sherwanis. Works by the internationally renowned sculptor, Sushil Sakhuja's Dhokra Nandi, are available at government's Shabari handicrafts emporium, Raipur.
Dance
Panthi, Rawat Nacha Pandwani, Chaitra, Kaksar, Saila and Soowa are the several indigenous dance styles of Chhattisgarh.
Panthi
Panthi, the folk dance of the Satnami community, has religious overtones. Panthi is performed on Maghi Purnima, the anniversary of the birth of Guru Ghasidas. The dancers dance around a jaitkhamb set up for the occasion, to songs eulogizing their spiritual head. The songs reflect a view of nirvana, conveying the spirit of their guru's renunciation and the teachings of saint poets like Kabir, Ramdas and Dadu. Dancers with bent torsos and swinging arms dance, carried away by their devotion. As the rhythm quickens, they perform acrobatics and form human pyramids.[42]
Pandwani
Pandavani is a folk ballad form performed predominantly in Chhattisgarh. It depicts the story of the Pandavas, the leading characters in the epic Mahabharata. The artists in the Pandavani narration consist of a lead artist and some supporting singers and musicians. There are two styles of narration in Pandavani, Vedamati and Kapalik. In the Vedamati style the lead artist narrates in a simple manner by sitting on the floor throughout the performance. The Kaplik style is livelier, where the narrator actually enacts the scenes and characters.[43]

Coming back to Saurashtra he established Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul in the year of India’s independence i.e. in 1947-48 at Rajkot Gujarat (India).
The highly reputed poet and ideal teacher Shree Tribhuvanbhai Vyas gave encouragement and also devoted services from the beginning. Pujya Purani Swami Shree Premprakashdasji also gave valuable and appreciable contribution for the service activities of Gurukul.

Chhattisgarh (Chattīsgaṛh pronounced [tʃʰʌttiːsɡʌɽʱ]) is a state in Central India. It is the 10th largest state in India, with an area of 135,190 km2 (52,200 sq mi). With a population of 25.5 million, Chhattisgarh is the 16th most-populated state of the nation. It is a source of electricity and steel for India.[1] Chhattisgarh accounts for 15% of the total steel produced in the country. Chhattisgarh is one of the fastest-developing states in India.[2]
The state was formed on 1 November 2000 by partitioning 16 Chhattisgarhi-speaking southeastern districts of Madhya Pradesh.[3][4] Raipur was made its capital city. Chhattisgarh borders the states of Madhya Pradesh in the northwest, Maharastra in the southwest Telangana and Andhra Pradesh[5][6][7] in the south, Odisha in the east, Jharkhand in the northeast and Uttar Pradesh in the north. Currently the state comprises 27 districts.

The state hosts many religious sects such as Satnami Panth, Kabirpanth, Ramnami Samaj and others. Champaran (Chhattisgarh) is a small town with religious significance as the birthplace of the Saint Vallabhacharya, increasingly important as a pilgrimage site for the Gujarati community.
Chhattisgarh has a significant role in the life of lord Rama.[42] Lord Rama along with his wife Sita and his younger brother Lakshaman had started his Vanvas (exile) in the Bastar[43] region (more precisely Dandakaranya region[44]) of Chhattisgarh. They lived more than 10 years of their 14 years of Vanvas in different places of Chhattisgarh. One of the remarkable place is Shivrinarayan[45] which is nearby Bilaspur[46] district of Chhattisgarh. Shivrinarayan was named after an old lady Shabari.[47] When Ram visited Shabari she said I do not have anything to offer other than my heart, but here are some berry fruits. May it please you, my Lord. Saying so, Shabari offered the fruits she had meticulously collected to Rama. When Rama was tasting them, Lakshmana raised the concern that Shabari had already tasted them and therefore unworthy of eating.

The dance closely resembles Krishna's dance with the gopis (milkmaids).[50][51]

Shivrinarayan was named after an old lady Shabari.[47] When Ram visited Shabari she said I do not have anything to offer other than my heart, but here are some berry fruits. May it please you, my Lord. Saying so, Shabari offered the fruits she had meticulously collected to Rama. When Rama was tasting them, Lakshmana raised the concern that Shabari had already tasted them and therefore unworthy of eating. To this Rama said that of the many types of food he had tasted, nothing could equal these berry fruits, offered with such devotion. You taste them, then alone will you know. Whomsoever offers a fruit, leaf, flower or some water with love, I partake it with great joy. More details at Shabari.[47]

Dance
Panthi, Rawat Nacha Pandwani, Chaitra, Kaksar, Saila and Soowa are the several indigenous dance styles of Chhattisgarh.
Panthi
Panthi, the folk dance of the Satnami community, has religious overtones. Panthi is performed on Maghi Purnima, the anniversary of the birth of Guru Ghasidas. The dancers dance around a jaitkhamb set up for the occasion, to songs eulogizing their spiritual head. The songs reflect a view of nirvana, conveying the spirit of their guru's renunciation and the teachings of saint poets like Kabir, Ramdas and Dadu. Dancers with bent torsos and swinging arms dance, carried away by their devotion. As the rhythm quickens, they perform acrobatics and form human pyramids.[48]
Pandwani
Pandavani is a folk ballad form performed predominantly in Chhattisgarh. It depicts the story of the Pandavas, the leading characters in the epic Mahabharata. The artists in the Pandavani narration consist of a lead artist and some supporting singers and musicians. There are two styles of narration in Pandavani, Vedamati and Kapalik. In the Vedamati style the lead artist narrates in a simple manner by sitting on the floor throughout the performance. The Kaplik style is livelier, where the narrator actually enacts the scenes and characters.[49]
