SCRIPTURES

The Paramguru has propounded the doctrine of the Panchmi Akhand Kaival Mukti. The Paramguru says, the creator (the God) is One, and the Creator is not found in his creation the world. The Paramguru shows the path of liberation in this doctrine to the people who have separated themselves from their creator. This doctrine is very well explained in the religious books written by the Paramguru.

The books written by the Paramguru are: Agadhbodh, Sakrat Chintamani, Vignan Sakratmanideep, Viswabodh Chosra, Hanstaleva Granth, Vishwabrahm Vidwansnidhi Granth, Adwaitadwait Narved Chintamani, Pancham Sukshmaved, Kaivalvilas Granth, Tithigranthgnan Shiromani, Sakrat Param Prakashamani Bhashya, Laghu Panchikaran, Sakarta Adwait Lakshbodh Panchikaran and Bhajansagar. The other important religious books are – Siddhanth Bavani Granth, Panchtatva Vibhag Panchikaran and Acharatsagar Granth. All the handwritten manuscripts of these religious books are well preserved at the Gurugadi. The seventh Kuveracharyashri Avichaldasji Maharajshri made photostate copies of these original hand-written manuscripts and published them. The sixth Kureracharyashri shitaldasji Maharajshri considered these books as the ‘abhautik sampati' – non-physical assets of the Paramguru. Sant Sukhanandji of Baroda was the first to start publication of these books. He started the publication in v. s. 1974. The Gurugadi Sarsapuri started the publication from v. s. 1985. Few individuals and temples of Umra & Vyara of Surat district have also published books. The gurugadi published all these books in ‘Kaival Gnanodaya', the magazine of the sampradaya, serially with notes & explanations. Sometimes, special issues were published. The Gurugadi provides these books at very consessional rates and thousands of copies have been sold of these books.

The literature of the Gnan Sampradaya can be divided into three parts:

1) The books written by the Paramguru

2) The books written by the second Kuveracharyashri Narvedsagar Maharajshri and the devout lady from Sarsa Achartba Pathak are also considered the scriptures of the Sampradaya.The sixth Kuveracharyashri Shitaldasji Maharajshri, with the help from his Guru Prayagdasji & a saint Nandramji, published the books of the Paramguru with notes & explanations. His book ‘Pratham Panchvarshik Paramguru Pustak (Part I & II) is a critical study which tries to clarify important aspects of the philosophy of the Paramguru and lashes out ruthlessly at those who misinterpreted the message & the writing of the Paramguru. Avichaldasji Maharajshri publishes the books & produces the audio-visual cassettes of his granth shibirs.

3) Literary and religious creations of the saints, disciples and others along with the study of the scholars.
