Shakunavali Janmapatrika
A Divine Heritage of Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan
This unique Janmapatrika (sacred birth chart) is inspired by the Traditional Horoscope associated with Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan. The original sacred chart was prepared and humbly offered to Bhagwan Swaminarayan by the Noble and Respected Brahmin scholar Pandit Shri Ladhaaramji Thakar, a learned follower of the Yajurveda, Madhyandini branch, known for his righteous conduct and respected lineage.
A 142-Feet Masterpiece
From a scholarly composition to an extraordinary watercolor masterpiece.
Later, (the scroll of) this holy Janmapatrika was transformed (depicted) into an extraordinary watercolor masterpiece nearly 142 feet long by the revered Saint-Poet-Artist Sadguru Shri Aadharanand Swami. Through profound devotion, he illustrated the entire sacred horoscope with great (with minute details) detail and offered it to Bhagwan Himself. Ancient tradition narrates that Bhagwan personally read this divine Janmapatrika.
सबुधदिनतिथौ शास्त्रसंधं विलोक्य।
लाधारामेति नाम्ना गणितविधिविदा लेखितेयं द्विजेन,
चाधारानंदनाम्ना गुणिजनगुरुणा चित्रिता जन्मपत्री।
This sacred horoscope was mathematically composed by the learned Brahmin Ladhaaramji
and artistically illustrated by the virtuous guru Aadharanand Swami.
