Shrimad Rajchandraji is highly respected for His remarkable exposition of Bhagwan Mahavir's teachings, great spiritual state, extraordinary personality and literary genius.
Shrimadji was born on the auspicious day of kartik purnima in V.S. 1924 (9th November, 1867) at Vavania (Gujarat, India).
At the age of 23, He attained Self-Realisation.
He spent months of seclusion in jungles and mountains, absorbed in the ecstasy of the Self.
His compassion for the world overflowed in the form of Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra, a masterpiece in philosophical literature.
On chaitra vad pancham V.S. 1957 (9th April, 1901) at the age of 33 years, this Enlightened Soul left His mortal body, in a state of complete awareness at Rajkot.
In this short span of 33 years, He not only attained liberation Himself, but was also instrumental in the liberation of many others.
His preachings have been compiled and published in an invaluable volume entitled 'Shrimad Rajchandra' which, even today, continues to quench the thirst of true seekers.
Mahatma Gandhi says, "This man has won my heart in spiritual matters and no one else has ever made on me the same impression."
