Atma Siddhi
''Atma Siddhi'' Shastra ( gu, આત્મસિદ્ધિ) is a spiritual treatise in verse, composed in Gujarati by the nineteenth century Jain saint, philosopher poet Shrimad Rajchandra (1867–1901). Atma according to Jainism means "soul" or the "self" and "siddhi" means "attainment". Hence, ''Atma Siddhi'' is translated as ''self attainment'' or ''self realization''. It is a composition of 142 verses in Gujarati, explaining the fundamental philosophical truths about the soul and its liberation. It propounds six fundamental truths on soul which are also known as ''satapada'' (six steps). The author, Shrimad Rajchandra, lays special emphasis on right perception ''( samyaktva)'', self-efforts and a true teacher's guidance on the path to self-realisation. Atmasiddhi Shastra is highly revered amongst spiritual seekers. Although it is in poetry form, it is also known as ''Atma-siddhi Shastra'' as it enjoys a near-canonical status amongst the followers of Shrimad Rajchandra. ...

19th-century Indian Jains
The 19th (nineteenth) century began on 1 January 1801 ( MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 ( MCM). The 19th century was the ninth century of the 2nd millennium. The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanding beyond its British homeland for the first time during this century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century.

It was also marked by the collapse of the large S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
