Review & Description
Thorough and detailed, The Vachanamrut Handbook supplements the study of The Vachanamrut, a compilation of discourses on universal topics such as finding inner peace, spirituality and the true nature of life and the soul, delivered by Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Transcribed by Hindu ascetics in his presence, The Vachanamrut, is the most sacred text of the Swaminarayan movement.
Bhagwan Swaminarayan was a remarkable figure in nineteenth century India who established the Swaminarayan denomination of Hinduism. Bhagwan Swaminarayan was a social reformer who campaigned against female infanticide and sati (immolation of widows), a child prodigy who defeated India s great scholars in debate at the age of eight, a spiritual authority on Hinduism and Hindu scriptures, and a divine figure revered by millions as the Supreme Reality.
The Vachanamrut Handbook acts as a beginner s guide into the ideas and philosophies established in The Vachanamrut. With the aid of maps, charts, paintings and sketches, The Vachanamrut Handbook provides invaluable context necessary for the study of The Vachanamrut. It not only explains the political, cultural, and religious background of the time, it also distills the philosophy and concepts that frequently emerge in the text. The Vachanamrut Handbook is an absolute must have for any serious student of the Swaminarayan movement. Read more
