Preface When I first composed Satyarth Prakāśa, my familiarity with the Hindi language was limited. Growing up in a Gujarati-speaking environment and primarily using Sanskrit for speaking, teaching, and learning. I was less acquainted with Hindi. Consequently, the language of the initial edition had some impurities. Over time, I have worked to improve my Hindi writing and speaking skills. This revised edition reflects these changes, with adjustments in language and sentence structure made to enhance clarity and fluency, whilst ensuring that the meanings remain consistent. In this edition, errors from the first edition have been carefully corrected.

The book is structured into fourteen chapters, divided into two main sections: ten chapters in the first part and four chapters in the latter part. Initially, due to certain limitations, two chapters and subsequent principles could not be printed, but these have now been included.
