Opinions of some experts of Jainology
Excellent literary work in the field of spirituality! I am amazed with the concise and user friendly work.
Samayasāra is the scripture of the absolute philosophical work. Samayasāra is considered to be the original scripture written by great saint Acarya Shri Kund Kund Swami, after visiting for eight days to Omniscient Lord Shri Simandhar Swami in Mahavideh Kshetra. Therefore, it is considered as the direct interpretation from Omniscient Lord. Up until now, there was lack of real good translation of Samayasāra verses and its English commentary. Dr. Paras Mał Agrawal undertook the big challenge and put forward this great literary work. While writing the translation and commentary of the stanzas, he makes sure to give glimpse of each stanza in the concise form without diluting its meaning. I am impressed by its easy flow which is very difficult to achieve on such subject. Dr. Agrawal has also used his knowledge of Physics to compare and give examples to suit the modern day science. Explanation of every verse makes one to think deeply for Jain philosophy. I am sure that this will be a great stepping stone for students of philosophy to dive into the vast ocean of the spiritual knowledge. My sincere congratulations to Dr. Agrawal for such a great work!

Amazed! Dr. Agrawal made an impossible task possible!
I am amazed at the work. Dr. Agrawal has really done the most valuable job. He has made an impossible task possible. I am thoroughly excited about this work. Great!
I have studied Jain religion for the last 20 years, rarely have I come across such an excellent piece of work, in English. In today's globalized world where English is the lingua franca, Prof. Agrawal has used simple English, taken important aspects of the commentaries written by Acharya Jayasen and Amritchandra, and made them concise and easy to comprehend with familiar examples, addressing everyday concerns in question and answer form to give a practical teaching from the treatise Samayasāra which is often referred to as the Jain-Philosophy-Bible. I am not only in awe of the result of two years of hard work and effort that Dr. Agrawal has put into this project, but I am also very excited that finally I can share the importance of this text with my dear ones.
