Nilkanth Varni: An Epic Pilgrimmage of a Child-Yogi

Nilkanth Varni: The Epic Pilgrimage of a Child-Yogi is the intrepid true story of an 11-year-old child yogi who single-handedly accomplished a seven-year epic pilgrimage across the length and breadth of India. His spiritual adventures reflect an amazing story of determination, fearlessness, austerity, service, faith and compassion. The travels of Nilkanth Varni, which are briefly portrayed in the giant screen film, Mystic India, were undertaken to liberate countless people and revive the sanctity of our holy pilgrimage places. Upon concluding his pilgrimage at the age of 18, Nilkanth Varni, who later became known as Bhagwan Swaminarayan, ushered in a moral and spiritual renaissance in Gujarat and resuscitated the glorious bhakti tradition. As a translation of one section of the definitive five-volume biography of Bhagwan Swaminarayan by Harshadrai Dave, Nilkanth Varni: The Epic Pilgrimage of a Child-Yogi is the most comprehensive account of Bhagwan Swaminarayan’s time as Nilkanth Varni available in English today.
