In the late 1900s, as many Swaminarayan Vadtal Gadi devotees immigrated from India to America, a group of Satsangis in New Jersey began to gather and conduct regular Satsang Sabhas. These Sabhas initially began in homes and grew into rented halls, allowing many hundreds of devotees to gather. Many Santos and Dharmakul frequently traveled from India to America during this time to encourage and grow the Satsang movement. As the Satsang movement grew, in 1997, a piece of land was purchased in Somerset, New Jersey, to build a Mandir where thousands of devotees could gather to offer prayers to Bhagwan Swaminarayan. In the presence of thousands of Santos and devotees, Bhumi Pujan was performed by H.D.H. P.P. D.D. 1008 Acharya Shree Ajendraprasadji Maharaj. In 2004, H.D.H. P.P. D.D. 1008 Acharya Shree Rakeshprasadji Maharaj performed Murti Pratishtha of Harikrushna Maharaj in the presence of many respected Santos from India. Throughout the years, many Santos of Vadtal Desh have resided at this temple to offer their service to this temple and community. Many devotees have been inspired to practice the teachings and lessons of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Hundreds of devotees gather to offer prayers and partake in religious activities every Saturday. The temple regularly celebrates large Hindu festivals such as Janmasthmi, Ramnavmi, Shivratri, Holi, Diwali, and Tulsi Vivah.
