SAPTABHASHI ATMASIDDHI
XX
Gujarati, I have not seen a single such book written in twentieth century, which could be compared even partly with the writings of "Srimad Rajchandra" from the points of views of seriousness, neutrality and originality."
"My head bows with reverence and devotion when I think of the knowledge absorbed and knitted by Srimad (Rajchandra) in "Atmasiddhi" in short time and at a particular age. Not only this, I feel, his present of "Atmasiddhi Shastra" to the spiritual aspirants is much more valuable than heap of literary books presented by hundreds of scholars."
"Head naturally bows down not only unto the Jain culture, but also unto the Culture of Gujarat for producing a personality like Srimad Rajchandra."
-- Pragyachakshu Dr. Pandit Sukhlalji (S. R. Birth Centenary Volume V. S. 2024 and Birth
Anniversary Lecture 1922 A.D.) "ATMASIDDHI -- immortal work expressive of infinite powers of the SOUL !"
-- Holy Mother of Hampi Atmagya Mataji "I strongly recommend a serious study of this jewel of a book to every genuine Sadhaka. The words of Sri Rajchandra are charged with the vibrations of supreme intelligence. He is alive in every verse of Atmasiddhi."
--Vidushi Sushri Vimala Thakar
"In this epic Srimad had described the chemical process how to separate soul from the body and the karma in a scientific way. He first succeeded in attaining his own self-realisation and then described the process for the benefit of all human beings. In other words, this epic can be called a universal science of 21st Century for self-realisation.
In conclusion, Srimad's Atmasiddhi Shastra and his immortal letters will continue to be guiding light for centuries to come and will serve as authentic Agam Sutras for Jain followers of all ages in search of Lord Mahavir's true and original science of self-realisation." - Reflections of Dr.Pravin L. Shah from
Reading, USA from the Jain Digest (Summer 2000 Vol.16, No. 2)
Thus, this theme is a great, all acceptable prescription and practice for the inner Self-Realisation, meant for each and every soul on the earth, who is like a Siddha - Liberated Soul - irrespective of nation, religion, caste, creed, colour or language. A day will come when ALL world Religions, all schools of philosophical thoughts will accept this Atmasiddhi as their Path-shower, Supreme Spiritual Scripture of Secular Religion of the Self.
... Aum Shanti, Shanti, Shanti!...
Gems from Srimad Rajachandraji...
Total detachment of the Self from Body at Death - End "Even supreme Yogis like Rishabhadeva etc., also could not retain that body, which also has one peculiarity. It is this that the being the person, should acquire, until the body exists. Aloofness, unattached state - by knowing the constant-experience-prevailing own self and to get rid of all other feelings, so that there remains no cycle of Birth and Death. The state of Salvation (Moksha) is nearer to that extent till there prevails aloofness, detachment, realistic equanimity while leaving the body. This is positively derivative conclusion of all supremely knowledgeable persons - the Paramjnanis...!"
