		Lord Swaminarayan wrote the Shikshapatri to provide his followers with a sense of direction and purpose in life, although it provides the basis for does, dont's and ways of living, the main aim of the Shikshapatri is to promote and advance hinduism to the highest levels, where by giving followers a means of attaining salvation.
		The Shikshapatri contains general dharmas for all of Lord Swaminarayan's followers, dharmas for the Acharyas (gurus of the sampradya) and their wifes, dharmas for householders, rulers (kings and Prime Ministers), married women, widows (ladies whose husbands are no longer living), females, bramhacharis, and sadhus.
		The Shikshapatri has hence been created by Lord Swaminarayan with a view to creating greater awareness of the real meaning of being born, it prescribes a medicine that no doctor could prescribe, it can cure humans problems that no doctor could cure even with the latest advances in medical science.

		It is said that a Sampraday of the Sanatan Dharma can only be so called, if it can show an explicit link to the Vedas and God, through it’s own scriptures and teachings.
		Swaminarayan Bhagwan has clearly advocated in His personally written, Shikshapatri that His adopted scriptures are: the four Vedas, Vyas Sutra, Shreemad Bhagwat Puran,Vishnu Sahasranaam, Bhagwat Gita, Vidur Neeti, Vasudev Mahatyam, Yagnavalkya Smruti (Shikshapatri Shloka 94-95).
		However, to learn about and understand His own Sampraday, The Swaminarayan Sampraday, and it’s own peculiarities, Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan directs readers of the Shikshapatri towards the scriptures of the Sampraday (Shloka 204).

		Historically, the movement that Lord Swaminarayan started can be seen to have a significant effect in the state of affairs of Gujarat and Rajasthan, for the amount of social work He conducted can be seen as one of the major factors leading to the stabilization of Gujarat during the 19th century
		Today, the Swaminarayan Sampradaya is a global movement with leadership distributed among the two Acharyas who are considered "authentic" - whom pass the instructions onto Mahant Swami\'s and other disciples who seek to preach the concepts of Lord Swaminarayan presented in the Vachanamrut, Shikshapatri, and other texts of the Swaminarayan Sampradaya.
		It is worthwhile noting here that despite instructions from Lord Swaminarayan in the Shikshapatri, Pramukh Swami has not received diksha or inititiation from a bonafide Acharya of the Swaminarayan Sampraday and the devotees of the Original Swaminarayan therefore question whether he really does possess the virtues that Lord Swaminarayan mentions in the Vachanamrut.
