The spiritual sermons of Bapashri are collected in original form in a book named 'Bapashri-ni Vato'. But as they are the original speeches, different spiritual aspects are interwoven. Pujyashri Narayanbhai with much labour and care unfolded each aspect.

Children were very dear to Pujya Shri Narayanbhai. He believed that if the spirituality dormant within children is awakened right in their childhood, they would grow into ideal and illustrious persons. He insisted that every child should be provided with the means and environment which are conducive to awaken spirituality within it. Every parent should work in that direction such that the virtues of an ideal human are inculcated in children. And one of the ways to kindle spirituality in children is to provide them with literature containing spiritual matters such as life-sketches of enlightened saints and devotees, inspiring occasions in the life of such saints, their preachings etc. Abji Bapashri's life is so inspiring for one and all that by following his path anyone can ascend the acme of spirituality unhindered. It is more so for children too. For this purpose, we have published this book containing inspiring occasions from the life of Abji Bapashri.
