Introductory
Author's Life-Srimat Rajchandra, Poet, of a hundred simultaneous functionings of the mind was born in 1868 at Vavania. From early boyhood Rajchandra was brilliant and attracted attention by his prodigious memory, and poetic power.
At the age of 19, he came to Bombay and after four or five years became a jeweller. He was very successful and needless to add, perfectly scrupulous in a most unscrupulously money-making world.
But all the same his whole mind was constantly turned inwards to his soul. Hence the several books which he produced. For example :
Atma-Siddhi was written in 1895-6 at Nadiad in Gujarat. After a short time but having lived a true and useful life, he passed away at the very young age of 32 in 1901.
