Shrimadji composed this profound devotional song at Anand Station, Gujarat, India on આસો સુદ એકમ, ૧૯૫૨ (7th October, 1896 AD).
The literal translation of the phrase "Mul Marag Sambhlo Jin no Re" is: "Listen to the primary path of the Jinas, O!" Yet, in the context of this devotional song, it carries a deeper resonance, emphasizing the significance of comprehending and adhering to the teachings and the authentic path to Moksha as illuminated by the enlightened Tirthankar Bhagwan.
While this song was recorded for the film "Shrimad Rajchandra, An Inspirational Biopic," it was not visualized (animated) and thus remained unreleased.
In response to the overwhelming positive feedback and recognizing the profound impact the movie and its songs have made on our audience, we felt inspired to give this song its due spotlight and are thrilled to now share it with you all on this auspicious day of આસો સુદ એકમ.

About the movie:
‘Shrimad Rajchandra, An Inspirational Biopic’, is an award winning animated movie capturing the life journey of a little boy named Laxminandan, born in 1867 in Vavania village of Saurashtra to the most humble and devoted parents, Shri Ravjibhai Mehta and Smt. Devma. He was a very curious child whose questions were overwhelming sometimes and at times, eye-opening. His understanding and maturity were beyond his age. He was special and blessed with extraordinary powers that earned him the title, Shrimad Rajchandra.
When he was merely 7 years old, he attained the power of Jati Smaran Gnan (recollection of memories of several past lives). He was able to write around 5,000 stanzas of poetry in the first year itself, at the age of 8. He had already become a promising orator at the age of 10, giving spellbinding speeches. When he was 19, he performed Shatavadhans (performing 100 tasks, simultaneously) before a distinguished audience of thousands at a public function organized at Framjee Cawasjee Institute (near Metro Cinema, Mumbai), leaving everyone awestruck by his spectacular display of mnemonic capacity. His business intellect at the age of 21 made him extremely successful in the trading of pearls and diamonds which grew exponentially across the globe within a very short span of time.
But he was seeking something beyond all this.
Shrimad Rajchandra was a knowledge bearer, an unconditional giver, an ascetic by birth and a profoundly learned man with exceptional intellect and ability to see the future. Despite such accomplishments and prosperity, he led a simple life, enriched with plenty of fables about kindness to share.
If we take inspiration from even one of his life stories, it will be a turning point of our lives; with wonderfully uncluttered thoughts and unerring perspective towards life.
The two Legendary Leaders of India: Mahatma Gandhi and Jamsetji Tata were inspired by Shrimadji. The principle of nonviolence with which Gandhiji won India’s freedom came from Shrimad Rajchandraji. Jamsetji’s meeting with Shrimadji was life changing and his virtue of generosity was largely imbibed from him.
