Hare and Chetan Jain. HTML version by Al Haines. "The Siksha-Patri of the Svami-Narayana Sect" by Sir Monier Monier-Williams is a religious guidebook written in the late 19th century, specifically around the time of 1882. It serves as a comprehensive manual of spiritual and moral instructions for the followers of the Svami-Narayana sect, a modern Vaishnava tradition within Hinduism. The primary focus of the book is to articulate the tenets and practices essential for the devout adherence to this sect, emphasizing behaviors deemed virtuous and prohibitive actions that could lead to spiritual downfall. The content of the "Siksha-Patri" provides a detailed account of the duties and regulations prescribed for the followers of the sect, covering various aspects of daily life and spiritual practice. It includes directives on ethical conduct, prohibited behaviors, purification rituals, meditation practices, and guidelines regarding worship. There are specific instructions for different groups such as male devotees, women, and celibate sages, framed within a theological context that extols the worship of Krishna and outlines the fundamental philosophies of the sect. Through its verses, it underscores the importance of adhering to dharma (righteousness), devotion (bhakti), and community duty, aiming to foster both personal and social harmony among its adherents.
