PREFACE
It was around six, one evening in June 1958, a well-
dressed gentleman with a black topi hat was sitting on a bench
on platform number three of Surat railway station in Gujarat.
The platform was bustling with people and trains on other lines.
He had just finished supper before sunset and was waiting for
another train to take him to Vadodara. His name was Ambalal
Muljibhai Patel. His assistant stepped away to clean the tiffin.
This is when nature unfolded a phenomenal spiritual world within
Ambalal. At the end of this spontaneous internal enlightenment,
which took about forty-eight minutes, Ambalal came to be known
to the world as Gnani Purush Dadashri. Dada Bhagwan the fully
enlightened Self had manifested within him.
This Lord ‘Dada Bhagwan’ expressed naturally within
the temple of Ambalal Muljibhai by a natural event. This was
the culmination of his spiritual seeking and efforts of many
previous lives. The expression of the spiritual knowledge was
complete and spontaneous and this science has now come to
be known as Akram Vignan. The vision of the universe was
attained in an hour. The answers to all questions of spirituality
were seen in this vision and all questions were dissolved
completely. What is this world? How is it governed and run?
Who am I? Who are we all? What is karma? What is bondage?
What is liberation? What is the secret of liberation? How can
moksha be attained? Countless such answers and explanations
unfolded in this process. Thus nature laid to the feet of the
world a supreme and unparalleled spiritual vision through the
medium of Shri A.M. Patel, a respected member of the
community of Bhadaran, a married man conducting a business
of construction contracts. Despite being a worldly person, this
was no ordinary human being in whom the supreme desire to
understand, know and experience the eternal existed ever since
childhood. In such a human being the extraordinary new science
of ‘Akram Vignan’ had manifested this day in June 1958.
