COFFEE TABLE BOOK (THE DIVINE JOURNEY)
Divine Journey: The Life and Light of Param Gurudev A Testament to Saiyam, Jain Dharma, and the Eternal Self
Concept Overview
This elegantly bound coffee table book chronicles the luminous journey of Param Gurudev of Parasdham—a spiritual master whose life was a living sermon in compassion, restraint, and awakened consciousness. Rooted in the principles of Saiyam (discipline) and the rich philosophy of Jainism, this volume maps his evolution through inner awakenings, philosophical teachings, and sacred travels.
The narrative unfolds across seven transcendent stages: SIDDH, ANTAR JAGRUTTI, PRAGNYA, SHRESHTHAM, GAURAV, DHARAM, and TIRTH Yatra—each a chapter in his lived scripture, captured through rare photographs, selected discourses, hand-written reflections, and interpretive design elements.

This book is not merely a biography—it is a spiritual invitation. Designed for devotees, seekers, and connoisseurs of sacred design, Divine Journey is both artefact and offering. Each spread is curated to reflect stillness, introspection, and the quiet unfolding of divine purpose.
1. SIDDH – The Seed of Realization
This chapter chronicles the early revelations and spiritual foundations of Param Gurudev. It traces the quiet emergence of inner clarity, his childhood influences, and the first stirrings of a soul attuned to ascetic balance.
2. ANTAR JAGRUTTI – The Awakening Within
Focusing on the period of deep introspection, this section reflects the Gurudev’s growing awareness of inner truth. Through diary excerpts, meditative writings, and intimate photographs, we witness his journey from questioning to inner alignment.
3. PRAGNYA – Wisdom Made Manifest
A vibrant exploration of Param Gurudev’s early teachings and the crystallization of his philosophical voice. It presents excerpts from discourses, pivotal dialogues with seekers, and the embodiment of Jain thought through lived wisdom.
4. SHRESHTHAM – The Pursuit of Excellence
Here, the narrative shifts to the outward expression of purpose: the building of Parasdham, the nurturing of disciples, and the tireless commitment to dharmic excellence, both personal and collective.
5. GAURAV – The Grace of Recognition
Moments of acknowledgment—both divine and societal—come to light in this chapter. It details blessings, pilgrimages, and the growing global presence of Parasdham’s teachings through events, seva, and service.
6. DHARAM – The Dharma Embodied
A solemn yet uplifting passage, this chapter articulates the deepest alignment between Param Gurudev’s life and the tenets of Jainism and Saiyam. Illustrated through personal vows, ethical practice, and lived principles.
7. TIRTH YATRA – The Sacred Path Forward
The book concludes with a reverent look at Gurudev’s yatras—his pilgrimages to sacred Jain sites, interactions with saints, and the establishment of spiritual trails for future generations. This final chapter becomes a visual metaphor for transcendence.
