Nectar
A Collection of Letters by Shrimad Rajchandra
'Shrimad Rajchandra was a rare being. His writings are the quintessence of his experiences. Anyone who reads them, reflects on them and follows them in his life will find the path to moksha easier.'
- Mahatma Gandhi
Shrimad Rajchandra was a Jain mystic, poet and enlightened master from the 19th century. He was a spiritual guide to Mahatma Gandhi, among others. Within Shrimad's short life he unearthed and revived the essence of spirituality that was becoming lost to mechanical ritualism and dry philosophy. He sparked a deeper understanding of meditation that continues to guide seekers to tread the timeless inner path to the soul.
Nectar presents sixty-one letters written by Shrimad, mostly in response to questions from seekers. His writing has been translated with the enlightened insights of a contemporary spiritual teacher, Pujya Minal Shah, whose meditation lineage can be directly traced back to Shrimad himself.
This exquisite cloth-bound hardback book offers readers:
Original Gujarati text alongside the English translations
Keywords unpacked for words that are difficult or unusual
Background for each letter to provide context and inspiration
Glossary at the back for those wishing to dive deeper
It was published by Shree Raj Saubhag Satsang Mandal on the 27 November 2023, as a tribute to Param Pujya Bhaishree.
About Pujya Minal Shah
Pujya Minal Shah is a compassionate humanitarian and spiritual teacher to many seekers around the world. Her meditation lineage can be traced back directly to Shrimad Rajchandra who was a Jain mystic and saint in the 19th century. Under the guidance of her gurus, she experienced self-realisation at a young age, and has since soared to great spiritual heights. Those fortunate to hear her teachings are struck by her inner joy, lightness of spirit, and practical approach to happiness in the modern world. She is based in Mumbai, India.
