Preface

Panch Vartmaan - the five moral codes of conduct given by the Ultimate Supreme God Lord Shri Swaminarayan Bhagwan are very simple and accurate to understand even by a common man, yet they are spiritually significant. These moral codes of conduct can be understood in their real sense only when a spiritually accomplished Mukta explains their subtle and gross meanings. Anadimukta Param Pujya Shri Narayanbhai, who was a spiritually accomplished, God-realized Mukta, has beautifully explained the spiritual significance of Panch Vartmaan in scientific perspective. After understanding these five moral codes of conduct, a seeker is responsible to obey them throughout his life. A seeker can become eligible to transcend spiritually by following them properly. The first requirement for this is to understand the proper meaning and then it is necessary to follow them properly.

To fulfill both the requirements, Shri Swaminarayan Divine Mission has published a booklet called 'Yoga for Entire Life', written by Anadimukta Param Pujya Shri Narayanbhai. Here, Panch Vartmaan are explained in brief. Now, this religious organisation is glad to publish the teachings of Pujya Shri Narayanbhai in booklet form under the title 'Panch Vartmaan -elaborated'. Here Panch Vartmaan are explained in detail, so that they could be understood in their real sense and could be followed properly. We have made an humble effort to explain the subject accurately. Publication of this booklet has become possible, through the blessings of Shri Swaminarayan Bhagwan, the most compassionate Bapashri, all the God-realized Sadgurushri and our beloved and the most loving Sadguruvarya Anadimukta Param Pujya Shri Narayanbhai. We are very fortunate and delighted to publish the second edition of this booklet, considering its worthiness and wide response from the readers. So, let us celebrate this pious occassion joyously and try to contribute in this pious mission by following the Panch Vartmaan in their real sense and strive unitedly to raise our consciousness collectively and become eligible to attain the blessings of God.
