'''Jai Swaminarayan''' (also spelled '''Jai Swaminarayan''') ([[Devnagari]]: जय स्वमिनारायन;[[Gujarati language|Gujarati:]]જય સ્વામીનારાયણ) is a notable religious term used in the [[Swaminarayan Sampraday]] for both ritual and social purposes. It is used not only as a "hello" but also as a "goodbye". The idea being any thing you say or start, has to start with the God's name. People from this sect of Swaminarayan use it to start a phone conversation and end it. They use it to begin and end the congregation. People following other faiths use their own god's name for e.g. Jai Sri Krishna or Jai Ganesha. The literal meaning of the term is, "Hail [[Swaminarayan]]." Within the Swaminarayan Sampraday, the term is used as a greeting.<ref>[http://www.swaminarayansatsang.com/library/articles/articledetails.asp?Articleid=7 Jay Swaminarayan] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071117131513/http://www.swaminarayansatsang.com/library/articles/articledetails.asp?Articleid=7 |date=2007-11-17 }} Swaminarayan Satsang</ref> Presently this term is used in daily [[Puja (Hinduism)|puja]] rituals worldwide at the [[Swaminarayan Sampraday]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=AHI7AAAAIAAJ&dq=Jai+Swaminarayan A New Face of Hinduism: The Swaminarayan Religion, by Raymond Brady Williams] Cambridge University Press</ref><ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=ymE9AAAAIAAJ&q=Jai+Swaminarayan&dq=Jai+Swaminarayan&pgis=1 Shastriji Maharaj, by Kishore Mahipatram Dave, Kiśora Mahipatarāma Dave] Bochasanvasi Shri Akshapurushottam Sanstha</ref>
