Sudarshan Gadyawali
Sudarshan Gadyawali () is a 1909 collection of prose writings by Gujarati writer Manilal Dwivedi (1858–1898), which appeared in his journals Priyamvada and Sudarshan from 1885 to 1898. It contains essays on a broad range of subjects, including religion, ethics, social reform, education, politics, nationalism, theosophy, women's welfare, Eastern and Western philosophy, music, and literature, in addition to a number of book reviews. Publication history With the exception of the pieces Siddhantasara, Pranavinimay, Kanta, and Nrusinhavatar, most of Manilal's prose writings and poems were published in his two journals, Priyamvada and Sudarshan. The works Gulabsinh, Shrimad Bhagvadgita (translated from Sanskrit), and Atmanimajjan (a collection of poems) were originally published in installments in his journals. They were later published in book form, during the author's lifetime. Several of Manilal's most important articles from these journals remained unpublished in book form until 1909. In that year, two of his admirers, Himmatlal Chhotalal Pandya and Pranshankar Gaurishankar Joshi, working from Jambusar, a small town in Gujarat, collected, classified and published the articles as Sudarshan Gadyawali with the help of Anandshankar Dhruv, a Gujarati writer and Manilal's disciple-friend. The book was printed on double crown paper, and consisted of some 1100 pages. It also
