Atma Siddhi
ATMASIDDHIJI is a spiritual treatise in verse, composed in Gujarati by the nineteenth century Jain mystic poet Shrimad Rajchandra (1867–1901 C.E.).〔Wiley, Kristi (2006) p.176〕 Atma according to Jainism means "soul" or the "self" and "siddhi" means "attainment". Hence, ''Atma Siddhi'' is translated as ''self attainment'' or ''self realization''. It is a composition of 142 verses in Gujarati, explaining the fundamental philosophical truths about the soul and its liberation. It propounds six fundamental truths on soul which are also known as ''satapada'' (six steps).
The author, Shrimad Rajchandji, lays special emphasis on right perception ''(samyaktva)'', personal efforts and a true teacher’s guidance in the path to self-realisation. Atmasiddhi is highly revered amongst the followers of Shrimadji. Although it is in poetry form, it is also known as ''Atma-siddhi Shastra'' as it enjoys a near canonical status amongst the followers of Shrimadji.

He was born in Vavania Bandar, a village in Saurashtra, Gujarat.〔Wiley, Kristi (2006) p.176–177〕 He is said to have experienced ''Jatismarana Jnana'' (knowledge of previous lives) at the age of seven years in 1874 CE while observing a dead body being cremated.〔Mehta, Raichandbhai; Brahmachari Govardhanadasaji, and Dinubhai Muljibhai Patel (1994) pp.7–8〕 Although he died at a very young age of 34 years, he left behind vast amount of spiritual literature in the forms of letters, poems and books. He was also highly regarded by Mahatma Gandhi who called him mahapurush. Gandhiji records in his autobiography that he was very impressed with Shrimadji who answered his questions related to spirituality with patience and conviction.
