==History== | ==History== | ||
There is a belief that the old name of Nadiad was Natpur or Natdra, and this town was settled by the Nat people. Indulal Yagnik wrote in his autobiography that in the last century, who would deny that Desai and Nagars had played a strange game of miraculous theatrics of politics on the stage of Mahagujarat? Below the Derasar idol of Rupa Parekh's Pol of Nadiad is the name Natiadra, which shows that the existence of Nadiad will be in the name of Natiadra in the period from 9 to 129 AD. Remains of this city have been found around Bhairavna temple on Dakor Road around AD 7. The author of 'Narsanda Darshan' has mentioned the name of Nadiad as 'Naginabad'. In the year 2002, Muslim historians refer to Nadiad as "Islamabad". | |||
If the word Saksharbhoomi is heard in the ears of any Gujarati anywhere in the world, then he will understand the exact mention of Nadiad. There are nine literates here, which means that there are not as many writers in other cities as 5th Nadiad? Nadiad was becoming the center of literary and cultural activities in Gujarat in the late 19th century, i.e. between 150 and 1800 AD. In 1918, English domination was established in Gujarat and higher education of universities was started. In this way, through the connection with English education, English language and English culture, English Gujaratis, especially the Suratis, started the reform movement. At this time, Nadiad became the center for the preservation of Indian culture and heritage. In that era of kingdoms, four friends from here, Manasukhram Tripathi, Manibhai Jashbhai, Haridas Viharidas Desai (Bhau Saheb) and Ranchodram Udayaram's congregation were persecuted in many princely states from Mumbai to Kutch for their skill, study and diplomacy. [[Indulal Yagnik]] notes that taking advantage of Manasukhraya and Haridas, many Desais and citizens of Nadiad entered several states and became rich through Satadhari. In this way, the literate people of Nadiad, shining with the triple splendor of Lakshmi, Saraswati and Rajasthan, studied Indian and English culture in such a detailed manner that nowhere else in Gujarat. Thus, the protection of Arya Sanskrit is getting the pride of literacy even today as a result of the smoke which Kaj Nadiad smoked. In Nadiad, nine literates simultaneously spread their literary talents all over Gujarat. Gujarati literature has made a name for itself in world literature with the novel Saraswati Chandra by [[Govardhanram Tripathi]]. On this occasion, Manasukhram Tripathi, Zaverilal Umiyashankar Yagnik, Dolatram Kriparam Pandya, Balashankar Ullasram Kantharia, Manilal Nabhubhai Dwivedi, Chhaganlal Harilal Pandya, Ambalal Bulakhiram Jani, Champashankar Narmadashankar Pandya and Moolshankar Maneklal Yagnik were named as the nine literates of Nadiad. For this Nadiad with nine divisions, nine gates, nine lakes, Gujarat Urmikavi Nhanalal has rightly said that Gujarat was looking for literacy in the whole of Nadiad. | |||
More than 270 writers from Nadiad, whose birthplace, karma bhoomi or homeland have been living in this land. Perhaps in the middle class towns of Gujarat, such and such writers have not been found anywhere else. Is. Mogul Azam's popular song Pankit Mohe Nadhat Pe Nandlal Nadiad's Rasakavi Radhunath Brahmbhat has written. Nadiad is the hometown of the poet Vindhalbhai 5tel, who sang a lie in Bobby, a successful surgeon from Rajakpur. Gujarat's legendary comedian Bakul Tripathi, well-known poet-writer Pururaj Joshi and successful storyteller Evadev are also from Nadiad. Indulal Yagnik, Jashwant Thacker, Maganbhai Desai, D.B. Govindbhai Desai, Desaibhai Nathabhai 5tel, Prabodh 5rikh, Pu.Mota, Mahesh Chanlal, Krishnashankar Shastri (Pu.Dadaji) are some of the creators who have gifted this land. Out of these two and a half hundred and fifty writers, 24 creators are found from the same path, while the fragrance of many other great creators is lingering in the alleys of Nadiad. Introduced in books like Nadiad's Akshardeh and A.Sau. Will be available from a permanent exhibition held at the Dahilakshmi Library. | |||
Apart from literacy, Nadiad is also known as the village of Jai Maharaj. Because 150 years ago today, Dattatreya Swaru Yogiraj Avadhut Santram Maharaj lived here and spread the light of divine light. This Santram Maharaj has composed the best poems of Gyanbhakti under the name of Sukhsagar and many other poets of his saintly life have also given the best poems. In this context, the land of Nadiad has also given birth to Veer Vindhalbhai and Sardar Patel, the sculptor of united India. In this sense, Nadiad is becoming a fertile ground for creators and grandchildren. | |||

== | Shrimad Rajchandra composed the poetic version of the 6 fundamental truths of the Soul (which he had originally penned in a letter to Lallujiswami in 1893) called Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra in simple language, which could be easily understood and memorized.[[File:Nadias Ashram Photographs (36).jpg|thumb|Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra Rachnabhoomi after its restoration ]]When Shrimad Rajchandra was in Nadiad, Ambalalbhai had remained at his service throughout the trip. Once Shrimadji came back from a walk around the lake (which has now been transformed into the Jalmandir), he called for Ambalalbhai to bring a lantern and then he started writing Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra. <ref>{{Cite book|last=Doshi|first=Manu|title=Shrimad Rajchandra's Atmasiddhi|publisher=Koba: Srimad Rajachandra Adhyatmik Sadhana Kendra}}</ref> | ||
Nadiad | [[File:Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra Rachnabhoomi at night.jpg|thumb|Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra Rachnabhoomi and the plaza at night]] | ||
When the composition of 142 verses was finished in little over 90 minutes, it was handed over to Ambalalbhai with the instructions to prepare four copies and to send them to three other people and one for himself. One was for [[Saubhagyabhai]], one for Ambalalbhai, one for [[Lalluji Muni|Lallujiswami]] and one for Maneklal Ghelabhai Zaveri. | |||
[[File:Inauguration ofthe Jalmandir,Nadiad (146).jpg|thumb|<sup>A life-size statute of Shrimad Rajchandra has been consecrated on a white lotus at the center of the lake and walking track has been constructed for the community</sup>]] | |||
Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra Rachnabhoomi has been restored by [https://www.srmd.org/en-IN/ Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur] using the original brick wall to preserve the holy vibrations and stay true to the era. Life-sized statues of Shrimadji and Ambalalbhai have been placed in the room, in the same stance as when the scripture was penned. Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur also beautified the lake and consecrated a five-foot three-inch idol of [[Shrimad Rajchandra]] in the centre. A walking track has been constructed around the lake for the community and visitors which provides a peaceful ambience to contemplate on the self.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Shri+Atmasiddhishastra+Rachnabhoomi,+Nadiad/@22.688258,72.867809,14z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x98d37566afde6220!8m2!3d22.6882583!4d72.8678088?hl=en|title=Shri Atmasiddhishastra Rachnabhoomi, Nadiad · Shri Atmasiddhishastra Rachnabhoomi, Nana Kumbhnath Rd, near Ipcowala Hall, Shanti Nagar, Nadiad, Gujarat 387001, India}}</ref> | |||
