PUBLISHER'S NOTE
(from first edition)
Prakrit Bharti Academy, a non-governmental, voluntary broad based academic body, is devoted to the conservation and projection of Indian cultural heritage. It has already published more than 40 books dealing with different aspects of Indian culture. The present book on Ahimsa is an attempt to expound Ahimsa comprehensively for modern man so that, in this age of violence, intolerance, and excessive possession, an alternative could be understood and appreciated.
Shri Surendra Bothara, the author, has combined his scholarship with practical approach. We are grateful to him for this effort and the book. Since the author wanted one of the writers of the Publisher's Note to write the Foreword also, this was done in deference to his wishes.
We are grateful to Shri Jitendra Sanghi of Ajanta Printers, Jaipur for printing this book.
