Vachanamrut in English

Languages : en
Pages : 1382
Book Description
It is a great pleasure for us to publish the spiritual scripture Vachanamrutam translated in English, by the grace of Purna Purushottam Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan. There is an acute demand for English Vachanamrutam, not only from the devotees from India and abroad but also from other learned persons interested in philosophical literature, specially in the philosophy professed by Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan Mahaprabhu. Shri Swaminarayan Gurukul, Rajkot has published a number of religious and philosophical books. Further Shikshapatri has been published duly translated in English and this book will be an appreciable addition not only to the literature of Shree Swaminarayan Mission, but also to the Philosophical Literature of the World. It was the desire of Reverend Pujya Sadguru Shastriji Maharaj, Shri Dharmajivandasji Swami, the founder of Shri Swaminarayan Gurukul, Rajkot and its branches, to get the Vachanamrutam translated in English. Rev. Purani Swami Shri Premprakashdasji was also giving inspiration for this important translation. By their blessings and resultant God's grace, the Vachanamrutam, translated in English is now published by shri Swaminarayan Gurukul, Rajkot. Pujya Shastriji Maharaj always emphasised the need of reading Vachanamrutam daily and for understanding the same. His method of explaining the underlying principles of Vachanamrutam was extraordinary and unique. At this juncture, I am pleased to note here that the translation of Vachanamrutam done by Late Dr. Jagmohandas J. Mody was handed over by him to this Gurukul for publication, thro' Shri Mahendrabhai Shelat, the Late editor of Sadvidya. The most valuable services rendered by Dr. Shri Jagmohandas Mody for this will ever be remembered. He has done this translation in his retired life with deep interest. Further his eldest son Dr. Shri Raghuvirbhai Mody has also taken the opportunity of rendering some monetary services fot this publication. May Bhagwan Shri Swaminarayan bestow eternal peace to Late Dr. J. J. Mody in His divine abode Akshardham and give happiness and affinity to our holy fellowship to all his sons Dr. Shri Raghuvirbhai Mody, Shri Kunjviharibhai Mody, Dr. Vibhakarbhai Mody and Shri Sudhakarbhai Mody and his family. Shri Mahendrabhai Nandlal Shelat has minutely gone thro' the translation and has rendered good services for editing and carrying out necessary additions and alterations in the translation of Vachanamrutam and also in the Introductory Chapter to put the translation in proper and final form for publication. He had also compiled the informative Index and translated the Vachanamrutam, known as 'Khagol-Bhugol' Vachanamrutam. May Bhagwan Shri Swaminarayan bestow eternal peace to Late M.N. Shelat in His Akshardham and give happiness to his son Ambarish and bestow more strength for rendring services for Shri Swaminarayan Mission. I am glad to note here that the introductory chapter has been translated by Hon. Justice Shri S. D. Dave the High Court Judge, of Gujarat High Court, sparing valuable time from his active busy life. May the choicest blessings of Bhagwan shri Swaminarayan be showered on him and his family for all kinds of happiness and for still higher achievements in life. Here I take the special note of our institute Hyderabad Gururul where computerised type setting has been done accurately and carefully for this third crown size edition. Moreover Swami Laxminarayandasji the editor of 'Sadvidya' has taken the special care for proof checking and page setting work. He also tried his best to revise as well as to review this translation and has corrected some references wherever required. May Lord shree Swaminarayan give him more strength for rendering services for Religious literature. Our elderly Saint Pujyapad Shri Jogi Swami Shri Hariprakashdasji who has the references of all the Vachanamrutams on the tip of his tongue and who is always engrossed in meditation and devotion conveys his blessings to all who have given services for this publication directly or indirectly and to all other devotees and readers of this Vanchanamrutam. At this juncture I hope this english translation of the Vachanamrutam would be instructive and inspiring to all for achieving the final goal of life.

The Art of Satsang Simplified
Author: Pujya Shri Devprashaddasji Swami
Publisher: Rajkot Gurukul
ISBN: 8194175690
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Every time God visits the Earth, He visits His devotees living across various places to refresh their hope and intensify their desire towards Him. When God is not here, His Saints take over His role and walk across the globe inspiring the devotees. Guruvarya Shri Devkrushnadasji Swami, the head of Gurukul Rajkot is a Saint and Guru of over 240 such Sadhus who currently propagate Bhagwan Swaminarayan's mission around the globe. Sadguru Shri Devprasaddasji Swami among them is one such Saint who often visits devotees with a single intent of strengthening their desire towards God, and thus reducing the distance between devotees and God. In the year 2017, within a span of three months, Swamiji travelled across all corners and centers of United States to personally visit the devotees, and teach them the devotional techniques that he had learnt from His Guru Shastriji Maharaj Shri Dharmajivandasji Swami (and other prominent Saints), from his personal observations while living as per God's and Guru's directions, and from scriptures like Vachanamrut, Swami Ni Vato, Bhagavat Gita, etc., “The art of being detached from worldly attachments”, “Real cause of birth and death cycle”, “Importance of selfless actions and the process of bringing it into your life”, “Importance of a Saint in our lives”, “Understanding Moh (Enchantment)”, are some of the many profound topics explained in a simple manner that would help ease a devotee's life by multiple folds. This book is an attempt to capture the depth of Swamiji's teachings that he delivered in USA in the year 2017. Shri Ramesh B. of non-Gujarati descent listened to the Katha in Gujarati and transcribed it as a collection which took the form of this book. We hope that the book brings forth the teachings of Sadguru Devprasaddasji Swami as it is and brings clarity on the inner techniques of devotion to the reader and thus enabling him to possess God as quickly as possible.
