DIVASVAPNA (Meaning day-drems) was first published in gujarati in 1931. It is an original contribution to world-class pedagogy and establishes Gijubhai as a luminary in the field of education.
Gijubhai Badheka (1885-1939), a High Court pleader, got involved in the upbringing of his son, leading to an in-depth study of the Montessori method of education. In 1916 he started educational experiments with the Dakshinamurti Balmandir at Bhavnagar. He advocated child-centred education and coined the slogan "Baladevo Bhava", meaning "worship the child". He wrote more than 200 books, out of which nearly twenty are meant for parents and teachers.
