I would like to briefly share some the information pertaining to the Swaminarayan Sampraday (Sect).
The all powerful almighty supreme personality of Godhead -
Lord Swaminarayan manifested on this globe over 200 years ago.
At each and every footprints of his life,
The supreme personality of Godhead dauntlessly claimed his supremacy.
For the ultimate welfare of humankind and for the paramount salvation of human race

to create scriptures that would very majestically
and very vivaciously outline the majestic plays of Lord Swaminarayan.
So that the numerous devotees in the years to come
would benefit from this herculean task.
Out of those innumerable saints, one such peculiar saint,
one such outstanding saint, one such superlative saint
was – Sadguru Shree Ādhārānanda Swami.
Swami Shree Ādhārānandaji created such a sensational,
I would say such a conspicuous and miraculous scripture
that is thus far the thickest and the chunkiest scripture in the history today.
The scripture – 'Shree Haricharitramut Sagar' as it is preeminently known
means the biography of The Supreme Personality of Godhead – Lord Swaminarayan!
Hence, on this auspicious occasion and benevolence presence of
the blithesome, winsome and divine-some presence of all the devotees and saints.
In the humble presence of all the saints, I would humbly request Param Pujya Guruji
to grace us, with the launching of this magnificent, transcendental and glorious scripture.
તો હવે આપણે સૌ પરમ પૂજ્ય ગુરુજીના ચરણોમાં પ્રાર્થના કરીએ કે ગુરુજી આ ગ્રંથનું વિમોચન કરશે. Now, all of us will request Revered Guruji to launch this Book.

Dear Devotees!
Let me share some of the details pertaining to scripture.
As we just launched the scripture,
you all might be wondering the specific details entailed in this scripture.
This monumental scripture entails the biography, the sermons, the magnificence,
the ideologies and the peregrination (vicharan) of The almighty Supreme Personality of Godhead – Lord Swaminarayan.
Not only this but distinctly outlines the folk-life of the people living in the 18th & 19th century CE.
The rituals, the customs, the celebrations, the festivals, the habits
and the practices being practiced in the 18th & 19th century CE are very well enthralled in the scripture.
So I am very well assured that this scripture will enlighten people from all walks of life in the years to come.
Let me share some of the information about the erudite scholar who created such a magnificent scripture.
Sadguru Shree Ādhārānanda Swami (23rd May 1798 – 18th Dec 1871 CE) as we are all acquainted with his name,
commenced writing this monumental scripture at the enlightened age of 59 on 04th July 1858 CE.
You all might be surprised,
it took an eternity of 13 years, 5 months and 14 days for the vigorous author to complete this herculean task.
Sharing some of the prodigious details about the scripture,
it mounts up to 12,404 pages; weighs 33.15 kilograms and heights up to 4 feet.
Now moving towards the contemporary lifestyle,
highly influenced by the dedicated work and unwavering efforts of Sadguru Shree Ādhārānanda Swami
Param Pujya Guruji - Sadguru Shree Gyanjivandasji Swami was highly influenced by this work.
Hence, he initiated the research of this task
and completed the research from 10th June 2011 to 15th August 2017.
It took more than 6 years for the entire research of this task.
In addition to this,
he also inscribed, he also delivered discourses on this scripture which are very inspirational
very motivational, very educational and above all very devotional.
I would say that this is the '7th darshan of Hinduism'.
The scripture took more than 7 consecutive years for the entire scripture to be published.
The scriptures 'katha' began on 10th June 2011 and ended on 26th Oct 2017 CE.
In addition,
the 'katha' of it was published on a daily basis on the YouTube for the broader benefit of the individuals.
Guruji had a unique vision of publishing this scripture on the titanium plates,
it was the sole inspiration of Param Pujya Guruji on 7th July 2018 CE
the entire scripture, the entire original manuscript of the scripture was engraved on the titanium plates.
Now sharing some of the details about the titanium plates,
Compared to steel, it is 50% less in weight and twice the strength that of steel.
the melting and boiling point of titanium is 1,670 and 3,287 degree Celsius respectively,
Hence, it won't be affected by any sort of lava because lava is just 1200 degree Celsius.
Conclusively, moving towards the heart this scripture – ‘Shree Haricharitramrut Sagar’ being published now,
comprised 29 cantos; 2409 chapters; 1,02,564 couplets in 10,080 pages
including text and pictures of the divine pastimes of the Supreme personality of Godhead - Lord Swaminarayan.
The thickness of the book is 496 mm which stands of to be 19.68 inches
and the weight of this gigantic publication is 9.5 kilograms.
Heading towards the conclusion, sharing my own personal thoughts on this scripture,
I would say that the – ‘Shree Haricharitramrut Sagar’ weaves a colorful tapestry
of education, knowledge, devotion and renunciation.
I am well assured that in the years to come,
‘Shree Haricharitramrut Sagar’ would reveal the most confidential path of knowledge for aspirants seeking GOD.
The vibrant, the dynamic, the magnificent personality of the supreme personality of Godhead -
Lord Swaminarayan is engraved and inscribed in each and every page of this book.
Without any slightest taint of adulteration and without any personal motivation,
this scripture will perpetually inspire nobles from all sorts with its ancient yet contemporary timely message,
will perpetually inspire the readers.
Heading towards the conclusion, I would like to say that ‘Shree Haricharitramrut Sagar’
is the most stimulating and enlightening scripture of all.
and lastly the most significant of all, it will reveal the Love for God,
which is predominantly dormant within all of us.
Undeniably, I would like to say in my concluding sentence that this is the most impeccable,
the most immaculate, the most miraculous, the most marvelous,
