Sukhsagar Gurugeeta

The book "Sukhsagar Gurugeeta" by Buddhisagar, published by Adhyatma Gyan Prasarak Mandal, is a collection of Jain scriptures that includes the "Sukhsagar Gurugeeta," the "Pattavali of the Sagar branch of the Tapagachha," and the biographies of four prominent Jain monks: Shrimad Mayasagarji, Shrimad Nemisagarji, Shrimad Ravisagarji, and Shrimad Sukhsagarji.

The book aims to enlighten the Jain community by shedding light on the lives and teachings of these revered spiritual leaders. The author, Acharya Shrimad Buddhisagar Suriji, has compiled this work with the assistance of Seth Chunilal Nhanachand of Patan.

The "Pattavali" traces the lineage of Jain spiritual gurus from the time of Lord Mahavir, starting from Sudharma Swami, through various Acharyas, and detailing the succession within the Sagar branch of the Tapagachha up to the present time.

The biographies of the four monks highlight their contributions to Jainism, their spiritual practices, their travels, their disciples, and their impact on the Jain community. Shrimad Sukhsagarji, in particular, is remembered through the "Gurugeeta," a devotional work written in his memory by his disciple Buddhisagar.

The book emphasizes the importance of spiritual biographies and the need to preserve historical and religious facts for future generations. It also underscores the role of monks in guiding their followers towards liberation and the significance of righteous living.

The publication is made available at a nominal price, with a decision to gift copies to deserving individuals and institutions, reflecting the publisher's commitment to spreading spiritual knowledge rather than seeking financial gain. The "Nivedan" section expresses gratitude to Seth Chunilal Nhanachand for his financial support, highlighting the importance of using wealth for the betterment of oneself and others. The book also includes a genealogical chart of Sukhsagarji Maharaj's family.
