"Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra... a jewel among scriptures..."





"In the month of Shravan, V.S. 1952, Shrimad Rajchandraji visited Kavitha, Ralaj and also spent time in the seclusion of jungles in Gujarat, immersed in the bliss of the Self. 


During the month of Aso He proceeded to Nadiad via Anand. 


The keen aspirant Shri Ambalalbhai accompanied Him. 


On the day after Sharadpurnima, on Aso Vad 1, Shrimad Rajchandraji returned after dusk and beckoned Pujya Shri Ambalalbhai to bring a lantern as He began writing. 


Pujya Shri Ambalalbhai, a picture of devotion and humility stood with the lantern in hand while Shrimad Rajchandraji's pen flowed incessantly. 


In a single sitting of merely one and a half - two hours He composed the 142 couplets of Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra, a jewel among scriptures, espousing the essence of the Six Schools of Thought. 


Only a divine entity like Shrimad Rajchandraji could create an unparalleled treaties of such magnitude, containing the essence of the Jain Canons, in such a short time. 


This exemplifies His poetic prowess and writing proficiency and is sufficient to immortalise His name for all times to come..."
