Swaminarayan ShikshaPatri vs Akshar Amrutam

Warmest Jay Shree Swaminarayan to fellow readers! It gives me great pleasure to publish this commentary upon Lord Swaminarayan’s Shikshapatri. Lord Swaminarayan wrote the Shikshapatri towards the end of his lifetime over one hundred and seventy five years ago. However, the underlying principles apply to mankind even today and will undoubtedly apply to all for eternity. The reason being is that the fundamental precepts are consistent with the Vedas and other orthodox scriptures of Hindu Sanatan Dharma. The Lord wrote the Shikshapatri for the benefit of mankind - so that all could read and understand the basic fundamental commandments applying to all Hindus. The contents of the Shikshapatri have been sieved from numerous Dharma Shastras (treatise upon Dharma) from the likes of Manusmruti, Yagnavalkya Smruti, Parashar Smruti etc. as well as other texts such as Mahabharat, Shrimad Bhagwat, the Puranas etc. Added three languages- English, Gujarati, Sanskrit
