On the sacred occasion of Chaitra Vad Pancham, step back in time through Dhanya Re Divas, an autobiographical poem penned by Shrimad Rajchandraji in His personal notes, rendered in the voice of Sarvarpit Jai Shah. Take a rare glimpse into His inner journey! English Translation : Blessed is this day, O! Unprecedented peace has dawned. After ten years, the inner stream has surged, the pride of manifesting karma has been quelled. Blessed. 1 In the year nineteen hundred and thirty-one, an unprecedented reconnection occurred. In the year nineteen hundred and forty-two, an extraordinary stream of detachment arose. Blessed. 2 In the year nineteen hundred and forty-seven, pure self-realisation shone forth. The state of scriptural and experiential knowledge increased, my true nature was illumined. Blessed. 3 Then arose the formidable destiny, the entanglement of worldly dealings and possessions. The more it is pushed away, the more it increases, not decreasing in the least. Blessed. 4 It continued to increase in this manner, but now it appears somewhat diminished. Gradually, it will depart, so it seems, to my mind. Blessed. 5 The true purpose within the heart, the upliftment of true religion. Will certainly be accomplished through this body, Such a resolve has now been made. Blessed. 6 Such an unprecedented inclination has come, O! The state of non-indolence will be attained. Having almost attained the state of omniscience, separation from the body will take place. Blessed. 7 The experiencing of karma is inevitable, whatever remains must be endured. Therefore, donning only one more body, I shall go to the homeland, the true self. Blessed. 8
