73 H C. GOSWAMI, J.I.C.S., Asstt. Commr. Gauhati (8-4-1920) He (Br. Sital Prasadji) kept the whole house spell-bound for nearly two hours, and it was a real treat to listen to his lucid exposition of the seven cardinal principles of Jainism. I am sure his illuminating lecture has been able to remove existirg misconceptions about the Jain Theology from the views of my Hindu brethren. Solomon D. Aaron, Chairman- Indian Association Phagli- Simla ( 21-5-1922 ) We were glad to notice that your lecture on 'self-advancement, contained nothing of sectarian or political prejudices and was a most philosophical discourse designed to uplift humanity at large. My Association would be obliged if you would deliver another illuminating lecture to the ladies of the place on, 'Stri Dharma' C.S. MILLAN 1.C.S. Like Lord Bacon, the lecturer ( Br. Sital Prasadji) has taken all knowledge to be his province, and by his quotations from Plato end Aristotle, from Descartes and Sir Oliver Lodge, he has shown that he has traversed the whole range of philosophical enquiry from the earliest to the most modern period... The great name of Mahavir will in future ever be honoured by me. Mahavir seems to have discovered long before Descartes the fundamental truth "Cogita ergo sum" It hink, therefore I am. This is the foundation of the European theory of intellectual idealism which has been expounded more fully hy kant and Hegel. Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhagwan Das, eminent Philosopher I had the pleesure of knowing Shri Sital Prasadji Brahamchari. and therefore I have the sorrow of knowing that I shall not see him any more. He was a very good, kind, gentle; saintly soul, always intent on spreading peace all around, disliking and shrinking from the fanaticisms and bigotrios of the quarrelsome sectariang

14 who take pleasure in emphasing insistently and aggressively their differences from other sectarians, and feed their own egolsm under cover of devout orthodoxy. Dr. B.C. Law It was in 1921 when I met the learned Jain Shital Prasadji who was kind enough to pay me a visit at my cottage. He was so simple in his habit and so amiable in his disposition. He was so well posted in Jainism and especially Jain Philosophy. He always took a comparative view of the subject in which he was interested. He was successful in explaining many knotty points of Jain-ism with special reference to Buddhism. He was reasonable in his estimation of the value of the subject of his choice. Undoubtedly he had many rare qualities in him which made him a great Jain and a devout Brahamachari. Dr: Hafiz Saiyyad It was in 1938 when I met Br. Shital Prasad first, at the All-faiths conference in Indore where he made several speeches which made deep impressions on my mind. His clear exposition of Jain Philosophy, his admirable command over the intricaties of Jain logic, his ideal life as a devoted Jain scholar, are things which we can never forget. He was one of those few Jaina scholars in India who entered into the spirit of Jaina system of thought and lived it in everyday life. Jaina philosophy is so deep, so subtle. so analytic that our ordinary untrained mind cannot easily grasp it. Swami Shital Prasadji did his level best to popularise it. He imbibed in him the true missionary spirit. He would spare no time and no pains in expounding and in inculcating it to any speeker of truth whom he happened to know. He would spend hours together in bringing home to a doubting mind the logicality and soundness of his point of view if he was convinced that his hearer was a genuine lover of divine wisdom. I had the good

75 fortune of meeting him in Allahabad several times and presiding over some of his lectures I never found him dogmatic. in any of his assertions. His statements were always supported by sound and logical arguments This is what apealed to me most in his meta hod of approach to any enquiry. He had a broad vision and cathe lic outlook and was ever ready to share his knowledge with his fellowbeings. Dr. A. N. UPADHYE The late lamented Br. Shital Prasadji's name deserves to be remembered with respect by all students of Jainism and Jaina literature. It was his mission of life not only to practise principles of Jainism but also 10 propound them to the modern world. His zeal for studies in Jainism was remarkable, sincere and usually contagious. He always encouraged others to carry on studies in Jainism, and he extended to them all possible help. It was a noteworthy trait of Brahmachariji that he had due regard even for those from whom he differed, He was great enough to understand differences. His spirit of self-sacrifice, sincerity of purpose and unflinching devotion to the study of Jainism and Jaina literature, are exemplary virtues which we should ali tiy to follow. Dr. BENI PRASAD Brahmachariji was not only a scholar but also a force in soci. al reforem and uplift. He devoted all his gifts to the service of the cause in which he believed and the principles which he held. His memory will always be held in high esteem by all who had the privilege of his acquaintance. SIR SRIRAM NEW DELHI (I pay ) homage to the great Jain Savant, the late Sri Brahmachari Shital Prasadji, ( noted for selfess devoted service to the lofty ideals which always inspired him. Swamiji put into practice with remarkable success the great precept of Jainism that Right observation leads to Right knowledge and Right Knowledge to Right Action and that Right Action leads to true and Jasting happiness

76 K. B. JAINARAJA HEGGEDE I knew Brahmachariji since my student days at Benaras. The Syadvada Mahavidyalaya owes a great deal to his efforts. He a great social reformer but he was neither aggressive nor offensive like many of that class and his benevolent activities have laid a path for many others to follow. In his social activities he met with good amount of opposition, but his perseverance, patience and honesty of purpose endeared him even to his enemies. His simple needs and his austere living are examples to. all public workers. He lived to preserve the Jains and their religion during the surge of materialism. The community wants more saviours of that type. L. JAGAT PRASAD C. I. E. I met Brahmachariji for the first time in Bombay, when he was a plain youngman with no pretensions to scholarship or holiness, but filled with an earnest desire to devote his life to the service of the Jaina society and religion. He had been attracted to Bombay by the personality of the late Seth Manakchand whose practical work I think he inspired to a large extent. (Later) my interest in him was aroused mainly on reading his commentary on the Samayasra of Kunda-Kunda Acharya. This book resolved most of the doubts and difficulties I had felt about the Jaina doctrine, and I began to look upon Brahmachariji as my guru in spirit. He stands high as a scholar of course, but his writings have a deeper appeal than that of a mere scholarship It is the appeal of a man who has had a glimpse of reality, an anubhavi. A holyman in the best sense of the word, he was also deeply human, and full of sympathy for weaker vessels. On one occasion when he expressed satisfaction at my interest in the study of Jainism, I began to talk of my faults, and he stopped me saying, "Who among us is free from faults ? Do you consider me free from faults, ? No, but when a man

Page #84
recognised his faults, he has taken the biggest step towards ove - coming them." His interest in social reform arose from this sympathy for frail humanity. B. LAL CHAND ADVOCATE Many know, but few realise the magnitude, the intensity, the variety, the continuity and the real worth and utility of Pujya Brahmachari Shital Prasadji's lifelong work. He was a true friend of the poor and the ignorant and an ardent admirer of the good and the honest. I never saw a man having greater compassion for the afflicted than him. Having had the privilege of sitting at his feet for quite a long period of my life. I can safely say that only few are blessed with a noble, kind and soft heart like his. A truly brave and pure soul, he was impatient to remove the inequities of our social and religious system He had a burning desire to propagate Jainism and to carry the message of Shri Mahavira to every nook and corner throughout the world and to every being however low placed and depressed he my be. * *
