FOREWORD.
The Jain Philosophy, a volume containing the speeches and writings of the late Mr. Virchand Raghavji Gandhi, was edited and published by the Late Mr. The B. F. Karbhari, the editor of the Jain paper. Further speeches and writings Yoga Philosophy & Karma Philosophy were published by Sheth Devchand Lalbhai Jain Pustakodhar Fund, and it is therefore that we publish the second editions of these volumes the whole series of the speeches and writings of the lateMr. V. R. Gnadhi. As far as we are concerned as we have heard there are further speeches & wrihas tings then these three volumes wut the matter remained with Mr. B. F. K.
In a short volume Mr. Gandhi lays open the outlines of the principles of Jainism in an interesting and lucid manner to the English knowing public. He was a pioneer among the Jains to preach the principles of the Jain philosophy outside India, and we regret that his great and useful work has not only progressed after his demise, but no attempt whatsoever has been made to maintain the enthusiasm created by him. Not only that but the success and influence attained by him are not availed of.
The Jain theory is based on reason and not on superstition and it is therefore that it can be accepted
