37 Assortment and Assimilation of Bapashri ni Vato
The spiritual sermons of Bapashri are collected in original form in a book named 'Bapashri-ni Vato'. But as they are the original speeches, different spiritual aspects are interwoven. Pujyashri Narayanbhai with much labour and care unfolded each aspect. He compiled words of different concepts under separate heads such as: The nature of the divinity of Shreeji Maharaj and the knowledge thereof; 'dhyan' or Meditation; 'upasana' or worship; Vairagya' or Renunciation; 'panch vartman' or Five Injunctions or five Religious Vows; 'dharma' or Duty towards God; 'mukto-na bhed-lakshan-mahima' or the Spiritual discrimination that helps us recognise the attributes of 'mukta' etc. This thematical classification helps the reader to understand the most intricate spiritual content of the book. Thus this spiritual guide by Pujyashri Narayanbhai is nothing but a blessing for the seekers of 'atyantik moksha'.
'Vachanamrutam' is the doctrine of 'Swaminarayan Philosophy' in the form of nectar directly from the holy lips of Lord Swaminarayan. Anadi Mahamuktaraj Shri Abjibapa has prepared a commentary -'Rahashyarth Pradipika' on this scripture explaining each and eveiy spiritual concept. This book tells us the important characteristics of this commentary and also explains why this commentary is inevitable to understand 'Vachanamrutam' in its true ethical sense.
This is a life-sketch of Anadi Muktaraj Sadguruvarya Shri Gopalanand Swami. Sadguru Shri Gopalanand Swami was a brahmanized saint comtemporary of Lord Swaminarayan. As the title says he was in 'Param Sadharmye' i.e. ultimate communion with Lord Swaminarayan. He was at such a spiritual height that Shreeji Maharaj had assigned him the job of spreading His supremacy. Great Sadguru Gunatitanand Swami and many others attained the state of communion with God through Shri Gopalanand Swami. The life of such a great saint is given in a very simple but interesting way in this book. We are hopeful that it will be well received by the readers.
Children were very dear to Pujya Shri Narayanbhai. He believed that if the spirituality dormant within children is awakened right in their childhood, they would grow into ideal and illustrious persons. He insisted that every child should be provided with the means and environment which are conducive to awaken spirituality within it. Every parent should work in that direction such that the virtues of an ideal human are inculcated in children. And one of the ways to kindle spirituality in children is to provide them with literature containing spiritual matters such as life-sketches of enlightened saints and devotees, inspiring occasions in the life of such saints, their preachings etc.
Abji Bapashri's life is so inspiring for one and all that by following his path anyone can ascend the acme of spirituality unhindered. It is more so for children too. For this purpose, we have published this book containing inspiring occasions from the life of Abji Bapashri. It is in simple and easy words and the language is as is liked by children.
The Shikshapatri is a small prescription of code of conduct written by Lord Swaminarayan Himself. Though having as few as 212 shlokas, it covers all the aspects of human life– daily affairs, religious do's and don?'s, duties of humans belonging to various ashrams, philosophical understanding and much more. If followed, it proves to be a source of ultimate well-being.
But, it is a fact that before putting into practice, the divine injunctions require an explanation by an enlightened person. Pujya Shri Narayanbhai has himself prepared elaborative notes on each of these 212 shlokas and the same has been published in a book form with this name. In the present times when a man finds it difficult to find time to read voluminous scriptures, this book, compiled by an enlightened personality, will surely serve as a complete guide to all the matters of spirituality.
The ultimate goal of human life is to enjoy the divine bliss of Lord Swaminarayan. But, unless and until one digests the pure understanding about the form of the Supreme Lord and gets established in meditation on the form of the Lord, one is sure not to attain that bliss. Such understanding can be had from only a person having God-realisation.
Such a God-realised person Pujya Shri Narayanbhai used to reveal some esoteric knowledge on various spiritual matters to the group of people who had a privilege to have close vicinity with him and who frequented him and attended him. This booklet contains such esoteric knowledge in simple and short words; but in compact form.
There are numerous kinds of spiritual endeavours, but the most refined and the toughest of all spiritual endeavours is to get established in meditation on the form of God. Furthermore, there are many kinds of meditations prescribed by various saints. But of all of them, the meditation prescribed by a saint who has a total and an unbroken realisation of God is more suitable, easy to attempt and sure to succeed in for one and all.
Pujya Shri Narayanbhai was such a saint. For the benefit of all who wish to be established in meditation, he has put forth this kind of meditation which is implicitly found in the Vachanamrut and in Abjibapashri ni Vato. This booklet is an assured help to all those who want to tread the path of meditation and subsequently enjoy the bliss of Lord Swaminarayan.
The Shikshapatri, the scripture containing religious code of conduct and written by Lord Swaminarayan Himself, holds core importance among the other scriptures of Swaminarayan fold. The proper understanding of these invaluable teachings and literal observance of them is an inevitable step to ascend the height of spirituality. So that we can imbibe the meaning and message of these codes in their correct sense and follow them, Pujya Shri Narayanbhai has summarily expounded these teachings using his experiential knowledge. This volume would be much appealing to aspirants not knowing Gujarati.
The ultimate goal of human life is to have realisation of God. This goal is not attainable without having factual knowledge of the form of God as revealed by a God-realised person. After having acquired that knowledge one has to put into practice the procedures prescribed therein.

Shri Swaminarayan Divine Mission is not a creation of human will or human desire. It is an institution that came into being by Rev. Muktaraj Shri Narayanbhai G. Thakker, under the inspiration of and at the command of Lord Shri Swaminarayan. It is an action put to our faith. This ‘Omni-beneficial’, embracing all faiths, organization has been founded with a view to raising the spiritual level of the seekers and thus help them attain ‘atyantik moksha’ – perfect peace and liberation from the chain of birth and death.
