Introduction

Sadguru Gopalanand Swami’s vato are a collection of vato by Gopaland Swami during his life and written down by his faithful followers. These talks have been published by various publishers in different formats since at least 1904. The version digitized and presented here is the Swaminarayan Divine Mission published in 1998.

These vato have been included here to preserve the historical document, quench the curiousity of readers on the nature of paramhansas’ discourses, supplement katha with different perspectives, and enhance one’s knowledge of satsang.

While these vato include various topics, including upasana, it is not meant to replace the fundamental principles that are gained from the Vachanamrut, Swamini Vato, and words of the gunatit satpurushes written in their jivan charitras and various other books.
