The (Gujarati: શિક્ષાપત્રી, Devanagari: शिक्षापत्री) is a religious text consisting of two hundred and twelve verses, written in by Swaminarayan in about 1826[1] The original text is no longer available, but was translated into Sanskrit by Sahajanand Swami,[2] who incorporated into and compiled the scripture known as Satsangi Jivan. Further translations have been made into a number of other languages.[3]
On 26 February 1830, at Rajkot, Swaminarayan presented a copy of the Shikshapatri to Sir John Malcolm, the Governor of Bombay. This copy is now housed at the Bodleian Library of the University of Oxford.[4][5]
