Bhagwan Shri Swaminarayan wrote “Shikshapatri” on Maha Sud 5 (Vasant Panchami), Sanvat 1882 (Monday, February 12, 1826 A.D.) in which He defined rules for His devotees to follow. There are 212 Shloks in Shikshapatri and is a tool of everlasting bliss and salvation for people of all ages and groups (Sants, Brahmacharis and Haribhakts). In the last Shlok of Shikshapatri, Shri Hari said “Everyone should read this Shikshapatri everyday, and if one cannot read, then he/she should listen to someone reading it and if that is not possible, then he/she should do puja of it on daily basis”.
