Machines and Relative Dynamics Inc.'s eternal tribute to His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj on the IM-1 lunar lander mission.

We are deeply honored by Intuitive Machines and Relative Dynamics Inc.'s eternal tribute to His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj on the IM-1 lunar lander mission. Our heartfelt thank you for bringing our shared values to the cosmos.

The following message, written by His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj, the current guru of BAPS, is permanently etched on the lander:

'In the joy of others lies our own. In the good of others abides our own.'

With this motto, His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj (1921-2016), a universal spiritual leader and a great saint of our time, dedicated his entire life in the upliftment of humanity. On the occasion of his Centenary celebrations, I pray at the lotus feet of Bhagwan Shri Swaminarayan that, may all people get bliss and happiness through imbibing spiritual and moral values. May harmony and unity spread everywhere in the world. May love and respect for each other flourish everywhere. May auspicious wishes come true."

Created in coordination with Intuitive Machines and Relative Dynamics Inc., the IM-1 mission will fly an eternal tribute to His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the fifth guru of the BAPS Swaminarayan organization.

The etching honors the life and service of Pramukh Swami Maharaj, a Hindu spiritual leader who championed the universal human value of selfless service. Such a cultural engagement between nations and corporations allows for the development of shared values, efforts, and responsibility in the pursuit of space exploration.
