Shree Swaminarayan Mandir VADTALDHAM BOOKS To describe the lifetime of Swaminarayan Bhagwan, a realized saint Satananad Swami gave a mantra “satshastray nmah ” – that is, the one who is addicted to scriptures. Reading, listing, and discussing scriptures had been a daily routine for Swaminarayan Bhagavan. Swaminarayan Bhagawan’s life is an inspiration for all of us to keep the constant company of scriptures. Regular study of scriptures and the company of enlightened souls brings one out of darkness and ignorance, delivers eternal peace and pleasure. Scriptures are our true friends, they are the vital force for our spiritual journey. Recognizing the advent of digital media and its usefulness to the masses, Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Vadtal Sansthan with the blessing of Acharya Maharaj Shree Rakeshprasadji Maharaj initiated the Scriptures Digitization Project. As part of this project, the Vadtal Sansthan is introducing a mobile app “Vadtaldham Book” to bring you instant access to the scriptures anytime anywhere. The app has many convenient and useful features, like, ability to search words in the scriptures, the ability to ask questions in the discussion forum features to facilitate easy night reading, bookmark, etc. Vadtal Sansthan is humbly trying to serve you in your spiritual quest. We welcome your comments, suggestions – granthgulal@gmail.com
