-Ganini Gyanmati Mataji

Shri Gautam Gandhar Vani came out from the lotus mouth of Gautamswami, the first Gandhar in the Samavsaran of Lord Mahaveer. I am to tell you all followers of Jain religion that you all Bhavya Jeeva should recite it daily just as many Bhavya Jeeva used to recite Bhaktamar Stotra, Sahasranaam, and Tattvarthsutra daily. In fact today whatever Jain scriptures are available; all are composed by great learned Achaaryas of the fifth time-period (Panchamkala). Only these compositions belong to fourth time-period because being written by Shri Gautamswami. Specially, on the first day of Daslakshan Parva you should, in due form, anoint the idol of Mahaveerswami and the idol of Shri Gautamswami or impression of his feet, and thereafter perform worship of Mahaveer Swami followed by Gautamswami. Again, after worshipping Shri Gautamswami daily with offering oblation to all the ten chapters of Shri Gautam Gandhar Vani, read one-chapter each day along with its brief meaning, just as you have been following the tradition of worshipping Tattvarthsutra explaining meaning of its each chapters, one on each day. The tradition of explaining meaning of one chapter of Tattvarthsutra on each day, however, is gradually being vanished.

Now you should accomplish innumerable virtues by restarting the tradition of reading-causing reading to others-hearing- causing hearing to others, the veritable evident speech of Shri Gautam Gandhar Swami. This very is my earnest important inspiration to you all.

This ‘Gautam Gandhar Vani’ may be auspicious to we all, this very is my auspicious wish.
