Dr. Chinubhai Nayak I know Dr. Mukund Soneji, since 1980 as a fervent devotee of Shrimad Rajachandra. In a his talks and discourses he exposes Gathas of Atmasiddhi Sastra. He was deeply moved by the sad demise of Shri Jayantilal Gheewala, who was has his right hand person. He maintain patience and prayed for the departed soul. To educate mumukshus, he has started a spiritual magazine 'Divyadhvani' which is very useful to the readers. His 'Sadhak-Sathi' is an important primer for spiritual trainees. Though he is a "Gyani Purusa", his heart throbs with full devotion. He sings many couplets from the devotional songs of Jain poets as well as medieval poets like Kabir, Nanak, Narasinha, Mirabai etc. I always respect him as 'Khalil Gibran' - i.e. physician of the soul of Gujarat. 148

SARDAR SAROVAR NARMADA NIGAM LTD. (A Govt. Of Gujarat Undertaking) P. K. Laheri Chairman & Managing Director SSNNL/CMD 407 /2006 November 6, 2006 I am grateful to you for inviting me to Gyanamrut Bhakti Mahotsav from 1st to 3rd December 2006. I will make all efforts to attend the function I have been deeply impressed by dedication with which Pujya Shri Atmanandji is guiding Mumukshus in their sadhna. Shrimad Rajchandra described the characteristics of Atma in very rational manner. Shrimad Rajchandra's firm belief in attaining the Moksha through introspection and meditation has influenced people at large. Purja Shri Atmanandji is carrying on this tradition of Shrimad Rajchandra in an appropriate way. Our best wishes to Pujya Shri Atmanandji to guide the devotees for long time to come.

Dr. Raginiben Shah, Banswara, Rajasthan In my first meeting with him he impressed me very much. His behaviour with every visitor clearly makes a statement of his love and respect. We can see his love for those who have even slightest inner inclination towards religion. He inspires them to develop good virtues and guide them. His behaviour with juniors is full of rivate & Personal Use:

Page #180
love, constant inspiration, help and moral support. He never insists that the way he accepted is the only right way. He behaves very humbly with seniors and he takes advice of his juniors as well. I never saw adverse feelings in him for his critics and opponents. zrI surezabhAI rAvala, amadAvAda pUjyazrI AtmAnaMdajImAM rahelA guNonI jhAMkhI thatAM mArA jIvanamAM kAma-krodhAdi vibhAvabhAvo nabaLA paDyA hoya ema jaNAya che. saMsAramAM rahevA chatAM 'upayoga' paramArthamAM rahe che. pUjyazrInA vAraMvAra AvatA vicArone lIdhe, samAgamanA abhAvamAM paNa svapnathI pUjyazrI mArgadarzana ApatA hoya evuM vAraMvAra bane che.
