Aso Vad 1
Aso Vad 1
Following a request from Shree Saubhagbhai of Sayla, Shrimad Rajchandra composed the great Atma Sidhi Shastra in the town of Nadiad, Gujarat. The 142 verses emerged in one sitting of less than 2 hours.
This composition explains the Jain path to Moksha. Besides being highly spiritual, it is also a classic of Gujarati literature and has been the subject of numerous translations, commentaries and is also studied at universities for doctorates in philosophy even today.
Shrimad had sent a copy of the letter on 'The Six Spiritual Tenets' to Shri Saubhagbhai with an instruction to learn it by heart and to contemplate on its contents regularly. Due to old age, Saubhagbhai found it difficult to memorise the prose form of the letter and requested Shrimad to re-write the letter in rhythmic verse form so that he could easily memorise it and make it a part of himself.
During Bhadarva and Aso months of Vikram Samvat 1952, Shrimad spent his time in the jungles of Gujarat contemplating in solitude. From there he came to the town of Nadiad where a great event took place on the first day of the later half of the Aso month. When Shrimad returned from his day's outing at dusk, he called on Ambalalbhai: "Ambalal, light and hold a lantern".
Ambalalbhai, a great Truth seeker, humble as ever did as asked and stood by Shrimad's side with a lit lantern. Shrimad sat and started writing. A miraculous stream of inspiration full of profound spiritual insight began to flow. His sublime spritual state became his pen and the essence of his profound thinking became his ink. He began to compose verses with the potency to awaken slumbering souls. The 142 verses of Atma Siddhi Shastra had emerged in one sitting of less than two hours.

The syllable "Gu" is darkness, and the syllable "Ru" is said to be light. There is no doubt that the Guru is indeed the supreme knowledge that swallows the darkness of ignorance.
- Shree Guru Gita
It is with immense joy and utmost devotion that we invite you all to join us in the celebration of Gurupurnima.
Gurupurnima is certainly one of the most important dates in the calendar for any spiritual seeker as it is a day to drench ourselves in the love and blessings that our spiritual teacher has unconditionally showered upon us.

We are blessed to be showered in Param Satsang with the visit of Param Pujya Bhaishree (head of Shree Raj Saubhag Satsang Mandal), along with Brahmnishths Minalben and Vikrambhai to the UK.
Shree Raj Saubhag Satsang Mandal UK warmly invites you to participate in a series of spiritual gatherings with Param Pujya Bhaishree, as we celebrate our 50th anniversary.
In a world filled with constant activity and distraction, these gatherings offer an opportunity to pause, reflect and reconnect with the deeper truths of life. Through satsang, reflection, swadhyay and meditation, seekers will have the opportunity to explore timeless spiritual wisdom and its relevance to modern life.
Morning Gujarati satsangs with Param Pujya Bhaishree will cultivate a spiritual atmosphere and prepare the mind for deeper reflection. In the evenings, Br. Minalben and Br. Vikrambhai will host conversations in English exploring the inner questions that arise on the spiritual journey.
These reflections lead into a five‑day Shibir, where seekers can immerse themselves more deeply in meditation, swadhyay and inner reflection. Special sessions will also be organised for young seekers and children so that families can engage meaningfully with the teachings.
All events are open to seekers from all backgrounds. Further details regarding venues, timings and registration are below.
Wed 20th - Fri 22nd May
10am - 12pm
Morning satsangs in Gujarati will be delivered by Param Pujya Bhaishree. Through these uplifting gatherings, Bhaishree shares profound yet practical spiritual insights drawn from the teachings of Shrimad Rajchandra and the living Guru Parampara of Raj Saubhag Ashram.
These satsangs invite seekers to reflect on the deeper purpose of life and cultivate qualities such as awareness, equanimity and compassion amidst the demands of daily living. They also help prepare the mind and heart for the deeper reflection and practice offered during the Shibir.

Three Conversations on the Journey of the Heart
During the Dharma Yatra, Minalben and Vikrambhai, senior spiritual teachers at Raj Saubhag Ashram, Sayla, will host a series of evening conversations in English exploring questions that naturally arise on the spiritual journey. Drawing from decades of spiritual practice under the guidance of the lineage of gurus in Sayla, these sessions combine reflection, discussion and practical insight.
Each evening will focus on a different theme, yet can be attended independently:
Restless Heart – Why does nothing in the world fully satisfy me?
Seeking Heart – How do I find faith in an untrustworthy world?
Joyful Heart – How can struggles on the spiritual path lead to extraordinary joy?
These gatherings invite participants to recognise their own inner questions and explore how spiritual wisdom can illuminate them.

(10:30am - 5:30pm for those not instructed in meditation by Bhaishree or Bapuji)
Shibir (Five‑Day Retreat)
The shibir offers a rare opportunity to dedicate five days to spiritual reflection and practice. Participants step away from the busyness of daily life and immerse themselves in meditation, swadhyay and the uplifting company of fellow seekers.
Guided by Param Pujya Bhaishree, the Shibir allows participants to deepen their inner awareness and experience the transformative power of sustained spiritual practice.
The topic being taken is Saamyashatak. Composed by Acharya Shree Vijaysinhsuriji Maharaj, Saamyashatak is a revered Jain text on inner balance and the soul’s true path. This deeply profound text takes us to the pinnacle of equanimity. The exquisite nature of the text is such that Upadhyay Shree Yashovijayji Maharaj based his text of Samta Shatak based on this. This gives us some indication to the remarkable inner state of experience Shree Vijaysinhsuriji Maharaj must have attained.

A joyful day of interactive spiritual exploration in a small and intimate setting, with close contact with senior ashram leaders and those following the path already. This is ideal for new seekers wishing to find out more.
As part of the UK visit of Param Pujya Bhaishree, the spiritual head of the Raj Saubhag Ashram, Sayla, this is a special day dedicated to new spiritual seekers wanting to find out more about the path in a joyful and interactive way.
In the midst of busy lives and many responsibilities, spiritual seekers often carry deeper questions within their hearts:
How do I find direction in life? How do I stay centred in a changing world? (How can spirituality guide me on a daily basis?
This day has been designed as a carefully guided journey, offering a balance of reflection, dialogue and shared experience.
Participants will have the opportunity to spend meaningful time in the presence of Param Pujya Bhaishree, and to engage in interactive sessions with Minalben and Vikrambhai, senior spiritual teachers from the Ashram, whose guidance brings both depth and practical insight to the spiritual path.

Imparted wisdom and reflection
interactive workshops and Q&A
group-based activities and shared experiences
moments of quiet contemplation and bhakti
Participants will explore how spirituality can be lived in the midst of modern life and responsibilities.
Above all, the day aims to create a warm, intimate and engaging environment, where young seekers can connect deeply with the teachings, senior spiritual teachers, those already following the path, and with one another.
While the programme is designed to flow and enable participants to connect with each other, as well as the content, everyone is encouraged to choose what’s most suitable for them. Participants are welcome to join for the full day or selected sessions.

Sunday 31st May
11am - 12pm
Interactive event with Minalben with Q&A
In a fast-paced world with increasing distractions, how do we help our children focus? Why is our attention and awareness so important?
As parents and grandparents we hope to inspire virtues in our children to help them thrive and be resilient in a world that can be confusing. We won’t always be there to help them make decisions, but we can help them build a foundation of strong values by role modelling good behaviours ourselves and helping them develop their understanding of their own identity and the world around them.
You are welcome to have tea and coffee from 10am whilst your child/grandchild might be in the morning event and join for the spiritual parenting event at 11am.

"The greatest mistake of a soul is non-recognition of its real self and can only be corrected by recognising itself", preached Lord Mahavir.
On this day we celebrate the birth of the 24th Tirthanker Shree Mahavir Bhagwan (Mahavir Janma Kalyanak).
The Kalpasutra text cites Kundagrama as the place where he was born. This site is believed by tradition to be near Vaishali, a great ancient town in the Gangetic plains.
After Mahavir was born, the god Indra came from the heavens, anointed him, and performed his abhisheka (consecration) on Mount Meru.
After he gained Kevalgnan, or supreme enlightenment Mahavir Bhagwan taught that the observance of the vows ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truth), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya (chastity), and aparigraha (non-attachment) is necessary to spiritual liberation. He gave the principle of Anekantavada (plurality of view points), Syadvada and Nayavada. The teachings of Mahavir Bhagwan were compiled in the Jain Agams.
The inner path of self-realisation that Bhagwan Mahavir practised, realised and taught, remains alive today in the hearts of enlightened teachers. They illuminate the path and help us: understand the essence of Mahavir's teachings and recognise the inner state of Bhagwan Mahavir, the supreme manifestation of the pure soul, our own true nature.

How do we recognise our suitcase when we go to pick it up from the carousel at the airport after a flight? It may have distinguishing features, a label or strap or tag. We recognise its colour and shape and brand.
If we want to recognise our soul, then we must understand its distinguishing features or characteristics that are unique to it and not present in any other object.
Br. Minalben understands these charactistics, immerses in them and is well qualified to help us understand their nature. Using Param Krupaludev Shrimad Rajchandraji's writings she will share these characteristics and the insights she has to help us see them too.

Minalben has a playful and energetic nature and unusually for an adult she remembers what it's like to be a child. She has the patience to understand a child, whatever their age, and listen to their point of view.
Minalben has an awareness that young people's lives, however easy they seem to their parents, are filled with the pressures of exams, good grades, applications and interviews, a schedule of extra curricular activities, peer pressure and the continuous need to meet other people's expectations.
By introducing simple spiritual concepts, she can teach you how to deal with this. Her thoughts and ideas are creative, fun and easy to practice.
She is a great example of how to live spiritually and practice it everyday rather than simply talk about it.
Minalben brings spirituality to the social media generation.
