Shikshapatri (Sanskrit, Gujarati & English)
Synopsis
The Shikshapatri is the epistle of beneficial instructions written by supreme Lord Shree Swaminarayan. It describes the rudiments that one should adopt in order to lead an honest and moral life. Adhering to the commandments that are clearly narrated in the Shikshapatri, is the key to attaining ultimate salvation, i.e. attaining the divine abode of Lord Swaminarayan.
During a solar or lunar eclipse, My disciples must stop all other activities, purify themselves and chant the mantra (Swaminarayan) of the Supreme Lord. ||86||
The Puran (scriptures) narrate the story behind the conception of eclipses. At these times, it is said that the Sun or the Moon deities are engulfed by the demon Rahu. The end of the eclipse marks their escape. Disciples pray to the Lord at times of an eclipse, so that the deities are saved from the menacing demon.
અને સૂર્યનું ને ચંદ્રમાનું ગ્રહણ થયે સતે અમારા જે સર્વે સત્સંગી તેમણે બીજી સર્વે ક્રિયાનો તત્કાળ ત્યાગ કરીને પવિત્ર થઈને શ્રીકૃષ્ણ ભગવાનના મંત્રનો જપ કરવો. ॥૮૬॥
रवेरिन्दोश्चोपरागे जायमानेऽपराः क्रियाः ।
हित्वाशु शुचिभिः सर्वैः कार्यः कृष्णमनोर्जपः ॥
