He has completed this deficiency by writing or having it written under his supervision.
Currently, Acharya Shri Tulsi of the Terapanth sect has also started this Herculean effort and their Agam work is progressing well. Muni Shri Kanhaiyalalji 'Kamal' is making a unique and important effort to classify the pronouncements of the Agams into Anuyogs.
The learned Shraman, late Muni Shri Punyavijayji of the Svetambar Murtipujak tradition, had started a very systematic and excellent work in the direction of Agam editing. After his demise, this beautiful effort is continuing under the supervision of Muni Shri Jambuvijayji.
After observing all these works in a panoramic view, a resolve arose in my mind. Today, somewhere the original text of the Agams is being published and somewhere extensive commentaries on the Agams are being written. One is incomprehensible to the reader, while the other is complex. There should be an effort that follows the middle path, revealing the essence of Agamvani, which is both easy to understand, simple, concise, but comprehensive and easy.
Gurudev wanted the same. Keeping that sentiment in mind, I started thinking about this subject 4-5 years ago. After long contemplation, on V.S. 2036, Vaishakh Shukla 10, Mahavir Kaivalya Divas, I made a firm decision and started the editing and commentary work of Agam-Battisi, and now the Agam texts are gradually reaching the hands of the readers, I am very happy about it.
This historical work of Agam editing has been organized in the memory of our revered Gurudev. Today, his auspicious memory is making my mind joyful. Along with this, the inspirations of my venerable Guru-brother, revered Swami Shri Hazarimlalji Maharaj - his Agam devotion and profound knowledge of Agam, ancient beliefs, have been my support. Therefore, I am overwhelmed in the memory of both those heavenly souls.
The guidance of Shasansevi Swami Shri Brajlalji Maharaj, the encouragement of enthusiasm, the companionship-strength of the service-minded disciple Muni Vinaykumar, service-cooperation, and the humble inspirations of Mahasati Shri Kanakunwarji, Mahasati Shri Jhankarkunwarji, Paramvidushi Mahasati Shri Umraovkunwarji, M.Sa. Archana - have always been helpful in keeping me motivated and dedicated to my work.
I have firm faith that I will continue to receive full cooperation from all my colleagues, listeners and scholars in completing this long and arduous task of editing Agam-vani, and I will remain dynamic in achieving my goal. With this hope.....
- Muni Mishrimal 'Madhukar'
