Adarsha Bhaktmala - English

"આવા ભક્તનું આખ્યાન ગાય તેનું અંતર નિર્મળ થાય ।। તન શુદ્ધિ છે તીરથ સ્નાને, મન શુદ્ધિ છે આવા અખ્યને !!!"

The above lines from the Bhaktchintamani by Sadguru

Nishkulanand Swami mention that learning the lives of "Such

Haribhakto" purifies the mind. After using the adjective "Such"

Swami proceeds to mention the life events of the best of the

best Haribhakto. What did they do for Bhagwan Swaminarayan?

What was the nature of their faith in Bhagwan? What did they do

for Satsang?

This book is an attempt to put the lives of Haribhakto disciples

of Bhagwan Swaminarayan who were the epitome of dedication,

firmness, humility, leadership etc. while being servants, in English

language. Just like the lives of Santo act as a guideline for us, the

lives of Haribhakto act as an inspiration for us. The impact of a

role model in life can never be underestimated and for Mumukshus

Haribhaktos from the past and present act as role models. This book

presents the lives of Haribhaktos from Bhagwan Swaminarayan's

time who can be the best role model for us.

Experiences like Akhand Vrutti in Bhagwan, having Darshan

of Bhagwan in all states (Jagrat, Swapna, and Sushupti) which sound

like mere concepts to us were put in practice by these Haribhakto

and hence experiencing those must be definitely possible. The

meaning of having them as role models is for us to work towards

realizing what we call as concepts in spirituality.
