My Hearty Desire
It was my hearty desire that these three booklets for children, viz. (1) Fragrance of Children (2) Life of Children and (3) Thinking of Children may be published in Gujarati, Hindi and English. After publishing them in Gujarati and Hindi, when my desire of publishing in English version turns out in the concrete form, my heart is overfilled with joy and happiness.
Moral, Religious and Spiritual development of each and every child is considered as a Must, and success of man's life depends
on this threefold development.
All the parents, religious tutors and preceptors may pay more attention towards this threefold development and for their uplift, every sort of efforts must be put to the test.
Children who have become some sensible, must be alert and Vigilant to keep their morality, religiousness and spirituality alive and for their fulfilment these three booklets will give them good direction. You do make these three booklets your bosom friends and these booklets will be better and nobler guide, helper-path lighter.
Dear Children,
May your best and purest Character be the giver of the best offerings to your life, to your family, to your society to your nation and universe, and that is all my hearty desire.

Never eat potatoes. Never eat onions. Never eat brinjals. Never eat gingers. Never eat radishes. Never eat Sweet-Potatoes. Never eat carrots.
Never eat honey. Eggs can never be taken. By eating all these things,
the mind gets spoiled. By eating all these things,
sins are committed. Bad thoughts arise a lot. Bad deeds are committed.
We shall go to hell. Better to remain hungry, if nothing
else is available for eating. Better to eat one thing less, but
never eat any of the above things.

try to seek food there.
While going on your way, if you injure someone unknowingly but he takes out the knife and hits you.... then what will you feel at that time?
Justice or injustice ?
Injustice. Well !
Then by mistake, some insects may come to your house or sit on your
body, and you kill them ! Then is it justice or injustice ?

12. Think Day-to-Day
When will endure the hardship like Mahavir? When will I have the renunciation like Shalibhadra ? When will I perform the penance like Dhana Anagar?
When will I build Jain Temples like Emperor Samprati ? When will practise the twelve vows like Kumarpala? When will I perform Samayika like Punia? When will I show the devotion for knowledge like Hemchandracharya ? All these personalities were also little like oureselves and when they grew up, They performed great grand deeds; When we grow up, we will also perform; great grand deeds like them.
We will perform; and we will perform; We will become great, friend!
We will become great.
After becoming great, we will try for the emancipation of the soul;
We will try for the prosperity of the Universe.

ROCC
DOOG
A city 'Kshatriya Kund' by name, A centre of mere holiness: A King named Siddhartha ruled there. All subjects were happy and healthy. Trishala was the Queen of Siddhartha. A mine of meritorious gems was she. On the 13th day of bright fortnight
of Chaitra, A son was born to the Queen Trishala, A heap of charming beauty And of un-parallel lustre and brilliance By name, he was Vardhaman Kumar. Knowledge was un parallel in
Vardhaman Kumar. Fearlessness was incomparable in
Vardhaman Kumar. Others may get Scared, not he; He was dear to all. Dear also to the Gods-angels. Dear also to the demons-devils. Dear also to the humans. Dear also to the animals Vardhman Kumar had nothing but
impartiality towards all; And tendency to release all from the
unhappiness.

Modesty was shown towards Mother
by Vardhaman Kumar. He did nothing such that might
make Mother unhappy. Modesty was shown towards
Father by Vardhaman Kumar. He did nothing such that might
make Father unhappy. Father and mother got him married. Yashoda was his Queen.. Great, Chaste and Virtuous woman
was She. Got unparallel Fame in the World. Was renowned in the Scriptures,
. But Vardhaman Kumar was free from the Worldly attachment or passions. The moment for renunciation arrived. Royal throne with every thing was
abandoned. Became a great fortunate Mendicant. Physical and Mental pain and storm
crossed him. But Bhagwan never totterred or falterred. There and then menifested Pure-Knowledge free from all illusion, And Angels Sang the meritorious Songs. There and then he attained the Eternal
Knowledge. The Supreme God has neither Love nor
Hatred. The Supreme God was desireless. The Supreme God emancipiated the
living beings and achieved the
emancipation, Salutation to Bhagwan Mahavir !
