Ginan manuscripts

Ginan manuscripts are sacred religious texts central to the Swaminarayan tradition within Hinduism. Composed mainly in Gujarati, they consist of hymns, prayers, and teachings that guide followers in spiritual practice, morality, and devotion to God. These writings serve to inspire moral behavior, promote spiritual discipline, and deepen believers’ connection to the divine. Often written or compiled by spiritual leaders, ginans are cherished as instrumental in preserving religious culture and teachings across generations. They are recited during worship and personal devotion, helping practitioners focus on their faith and moral responsibilities.
