'''''Sudarshan''''' ({{IPA-gu|su.dər.ʃən|pron|}}) was a [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]] magazine founded and edited by Indian writer [[Manilal Nabhubhai Dwivedi]].

==History==
While a professor at [[Samaldas College]], [[Bhavnagar]], the Indian writer [[Manilal Nabhubhai Dwivedi|Manilal Dwivedi]] started a monthly magazine, ''[[Priyamvada (magazine)|Priyamvada]]'', in August 1885. Its aim was to educate women.

After Manilal's death, his disciple and close friend [[Anandshankar Dhruv]], at the insistence of [[Mansukhram Tripathi]], took over the editorship of ''Sudarshan''.{{sfn|Thaker|1983|p=54}} He held this post for four years, and after Dhruv started his own magazine, ''[[Vasant (magazine)|Vasant]]'', in 1902, the editorship was taken over by Manilal's elder brother Madhavlal Nabhubhai Dwivedi. Madhavlal edited it for about two years. There are no surviving copies of the magazine after January 1904, and it is unknown when it ceased to publish.<ref name="Mehta2912"/>

==Contents==
As well as running regular features such as book-reviews, articles on social and political problems and some creative writing, Manilal published three important series of articles in ''Sudarshan'': ''Abhyas'' (Practice; December 1894 – September 1898); ''Purva ane Pashchim'' (East and West); and ''Gujaratna Lekhako'' (Writers of Gujarat). These, according to the writer [[Dhirubhai Thaker]], are the best products of Manilal's reflective and creative faculties.{{sfn|Thaker|1983|p=37}} Manilal's last and the most famous poem, ''[[Amar Asha]]'', was published in ''Sudarshan'' (vol. 14, issue 1), on 1 October 1898, the same day that Manilal died.<ref name="Mehta2912"/> [[Kalapi]]'s first poem, ''Fakiri Hal'', was first published in ''Sudarshan'' in November 1892 issue.{{sfn|Thaker|1983|p=37}}<ref>{{cite book|last=Thaker|first=Dhirubhai|title=સુદર્શન અને પ્રિયંવદા|script-title=gu:Sudarśana ane Priyaṃvadā|trans-title=Sudarshan and Priyamvada|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.305686|year=1962|language=gu|page=142|oclc=30821414}}</ref>
