Shikshapatri


Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan wrote “Shikshapatri” on Maha Sud 5 (Vasant Panchami), Sanvat 1882 (Monday, February 12, 1826 A.D.) in which he defined rules for his devotees to follow. There are 212 Sloks in Shikshapatri and is a tool of everlasting bliss and salvation for the people of all age and groups (Acharyas and their wives, Santo, Brahmacharis and Haribhakto). In the last Shlok of Shikshapatri, Shree Hari said “Everyone should read few shloks of this Shikshapatrievery day, and if one cannot read, they should listen to someone reading it and if that is not possible, then they should do puja of it on daily basis”.

The following translation of the Shikshapatri has been approved by H.H. 1008 Acharya Shree Ajendraprasadji Maharaj
