________________
The opinions of the Indian Scholars about the Jain Dharma
Shri Suyratlal Varman, M.A., has written this in a Urdu monthly magazine.
THE SACRED LIFE OF MAHAVIR SWAMI Oh you Hindus! Learn to honour these great men. Their hearts were so broad and spacious like the sea in which love for human beings rolled and sent forth endless waves. He renounced everything for attaining the welfare of all the jivas in samsar. This great reformer of the world is a precious gem in the history of our culture.
He made extraordinary sacrifices; he renounced everything. He embodied the miracle of dharma. He bears the title of Jin. Whatever he said was plain and perfect. By means of Tapa (austerities), Japa recitation of hymns and Yoga Sadhana (spiritual endeavours) he attained perfection. He attained absolute self-realisation.
