Shikshapatri and Vachanamrutam are the basic scriptures of the swaminarayan sampradaya. Shikshapatri is written by Shree Sahajanand Swami.

It aims at making man’s life smooth, happy and achieves final liberation after his death. Vachanamrutam is a collection of 262 talks delivered by Shree Sahajanand Swami, during the last ten years of His life.

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.

An Introduction to Swaminarayan Hinduism, third edition, offers a comprehensive study of a contemporary form of Hinduism. Begun as a revival and reform movement in India 200 years ago, it has now become one of the fastest growing and most prominent forms of Hinduism. The Swaminarayan Hindu transnational network of temples and institutions is expanding in India, East Africa, the UK, USA, Australasia, and in other African and Asian cities. The devotion, rituals, and discipline taught by its founder, Sahajanand Swami (1781-1830) and elaborated by current leaders in major festivals, diverse media, and over the Internet, help preserve ethnic and religious identity in many modern cultural and political contexts. Swaminarayan Hinduism, here described through its history, divisions, leaders, theology and practices, provides valuable case studies of contemporary Hinduism, religion, migrants, and transnationalism. This new edition includes up-to-date information about growth, geographic expansion, leadership transitions, and impact of Swaminarayan institutions in India and abroad.

‘Kaam Dravya ne Maan Chhe Jeh, Teh Saru Dharyo Nathi Deh; Eva Gune Mota Je Munish, Eva Sant ne Naamu Hu Shish’. Sadguru Shri Nishkulanand Swami narrates the many characteristics of an ideal Saint in the second Prakaran of the Bhaktachintamani (2-20). Have you ever wondered what the life of a holy soul can be like? How did he live in this modern world? How did he shape the lives of so many individuals? What kind of a person is an epitome of Dharma, Bhakti, Gyan, and Vairagya like? How does his work live on forever? What kind of vision did he have for mankind? The noble and holy care less for themselves and more for the people in the social fabric. They suffer not for themselves but for all and yet remain forgiving forever. So broad and farsighted is their vision that generations after them keep thanking them forever. This book is an attempt to shed some light onto the life of Sadguru Shastriji Maharaj Shri Dharmajivandasji Swami answering the above questions. Each chapter explores a new facet of Pujya Swami's life. This riveting book will help you understand Swami's simple yet influential, bold yet gentle, strict yet accommodating, and courageous yet caring personality. The author has not merely translated the book "Sadhutana Shangar" from Gujarati to English but was inspired to serve in this capacity after reading the Gujarati edition written by Shastri Shri Haripriydasji Swami. May Bhagwan Swaminarayan, Pujya Shastriji Maharaj, and Pujya Guruvarya Shri Devkrushnadasji Swami be pleased upon Kamleshbhai Shah from Canada for picking up the publishing costs, his son and daughter for authoring the book, and all who served in the publishing of this book in any capacity, inspire them to serve the Swaminarayan Sampraday, and bless their hearts for their efforts. Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul also prays to Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan that the readers of this book will be able to establish a bond with Pujya Shastriji Maharaj by using this book as a medium.

Shreeji Maharaj has said in the 19th Vachanamritam of Vadtal, "Whenever the soul is fortunate to be born as a human being in Bharat Khand, incarnations of God or His saints are sure to be found moving on the earth." We are extremely fortunate to have been brought up under the auspices of such a saint. Reverend Shastriji Maharaj Shri Dharmajivandasji Swami came in our life as a true saint and authorised representative of Almighty Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan on this sacred soil of Saurashra. He did not come to enjoy normal human life. He never chose to appease his physical self. No bonding howsoever strong could limit him for sensual pleasure. He cultivated various virtues in his life, living with the great saints, broke the bondings and departed on his own terms. This person revolutionized the educational system and kicked off a tradition which we will cherish for years! This book, which is translation of Gujarati edition, describes his life journey which is full of rises and tides. An unswerving personality emerges in 41 chapters in a unique way. His single mindedness, simple living style and saintly sacrifices mesmerize anyone and everyone! The book in my view has two parts. In the first part the child Arjan rises from the dust of Taravada village to righteousness and enlightenment in company of brahmnistha saints. His detachment from worldly desires, right from birth was something very astonishing. He was never found to nurture ambition of normal human dreams. When a pious soul of Arjan finds company of saints like Rev. Balmukunddasji Swami, his real self emerges out and gradually leads to sanyas. The book nicely depicts the heart rending sufferings he underwent on choosing the path of renunciation. The ruthless suppression from his family members couldn't deride the mumukshu Arjan and it couldn't budge the great soul even an inch from his life mission. Second part of the book from chapter 10 onwards, reveals Arjan Bhagat's (parshad) total dedication and commitment to the path he chose willfully. His early years as a saint after attaining Bhagavati Dixa (formal embracement of sanyas) demonstrates how intense his detachment was. Intense desire to study as a young saint brings forth his attributes as a scholar. Firm faith in Sampradaya rules and traditions, strict obeyance of prevailing norms and complete abstinence in personal life earned him blessings from stalwart saints like sadhu Narayandasji Swami and many many others. He embarked upon extensive tourage on foot in rural areas and thereby strengthened the roots of Swaminarayan sect in Gir region, which was his notable contribution during those difficult days. Fearlessness was his one of the deeply appreciated virtues among fellow as well as senior saints. His vision in renovating the old temples in rural and semi urban areas was considered a visionary step. Acceptability among the rural illiterate devotees and attaining their support for temple renovations was a praiseworthy task. Other equally challenging tasks during headship of Shri Swaminarayan Temple - Junagadh, speak volumes of his administrative capability and unwavering commitment. However, the best was yet to come! His quick decision taking strength and adventurism on sound faith and pragmatism generated heat, as usual, among envious colleagues. But how long can a glittering diamond be covered just to prevent it from radiating? Rev. Swamiji was a different stuff altogether! He had vision, he had strength, he had commitment and finally he had the ultimate will to incur wrath and risk from anyone, as long as he was convinced with the righteousness of the task on hand. So, he had to depart for a cause! He did it to make a way, which has now become a guiding lighthouse for generations to come!! Birth of Gurukul tradition in modern India was his, perhaps one of the greatest contributions not only to the Swaminarayan sect but to the entire world. Blending religion and virtuous teaching with the formal education and thereby amalgamating the values of Vidya, Sadvidya and Brahmvidya in Gurukul system is a sagacity entirely to his credit. Preferring Chaitanya Rosary (young boys) to Tulsi rosary (wooden rosary)-a decision that changed millions of lives for all-round betterment was quite a step, not many can contemplate ! Numerous occasions and plethora of activities in Gurukul with now complete freedom to execute own ideas showed how great he was! He never missed the aim and mission of his life and still broke many barriers of hostility to everybody's surprise! He triumphed as a saint, as a dedicated soldier of the Sampradaya, as a social reformer, as an innovator and finally as a uncommon human being. Never compromising on values and principles was his very nature. No allurement howsoever big could budge him from his chosen path. Not a single blot on his 87 year long, most eventful life was not a mean achievement. Finally he left for Akshardham with expression full contentment of life. Centuries to come will follow his footsteps! My salute to our sculptor, the bravo saint !! Jay Swaminarayan.

Pramukh Swamiji Maharaj, one of the most inspiring spiritual figures of modern times and the fifth spiritual successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, became a friend of the eleventh president of India, Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. Together they created an unparalleled spirituality-science fellowship. In Roohdaar, Dr Kalam and Arun Tiwari map a journey of self-realization reflected in the eyes of Pramukh Swamiji, painting a delightful fusion of spirituality, science and leadership. Through the life of Pramukh Swamiji and the history of the Swaminarayan mission, Dr Kalam traces the great rise of the Indian diaspora across the world. Drawing from the lives of great scientists and creative leaders, the book captures the spiritual essence of all religions and is a a tribute to the multi-faith Indian society.
