The "Satsaṅgijīvanam by Śatānanda" describes the life of Swami Sahajananda (1781-1830), the founder of the Swaminarayan Movement, considered by his followers as an embodiment of Krishna. The text describes the biography of Swami Sahajananda and is an important document for the religious situation in Gujarat of its time. The extensive work is composed in Sanskrit and is here presented in an English summary by Peter Schreiner and Jaydev A. Jani.

The online edition is available here.
