It was the year of VS 2070 /2013. We had a 'Gunakirtan samaroh' of my gurudev at Chembur - An event framed for appreciating his prolonged practice of Sanyam life and amplifide of qualities developed in due course. Well, we had already tried 3 to 4 times for this purpose before, but every time he used to deny us firmly for doing that. This time, he remained silent in front of our forceful request and we received a 'green signal' for organizing this occasion. His disciples and grand disciples created a mesmerizing effect on the entire locution by offering the discourses and extolling their gurudev in the languages of Gujarati - Hindi - Marathi - English and Sanskrit. From this, Muni Prashamratnavijayji Maharaj, who had observed a very small duration of just 4 and a half months of his Sanyam life, eulogized his gurudev in English.
Just as a jeweller's expert vision instantly finds out the lustre in the jewel at it's very first appearance and makes it look glamorous with the process of 'Polishing', my gurudev with his perfect foresight, learned the brilliance treasured in this newly - renounced Muni Bhagwant and for electrifying his potential he instructed me that, "As we have done with the Gujarati and Sanskrit books of Dharmasuri Maharaj, I wish we must make this Prashamratna Vijayji too, script something in the encomium of my dignitary gurudev. It will make an auspicious start of his life as a writer and even the world might become introduced with his lingual and writing skills!" Even this Feeling was indirectly exhibiting the immoderate devotion filled in his heart for Dharmasuri Maharaj!
The successful effort of fulfilling the longing of my gurudev is what this book is! I'm proud to say that Muni Prashamratnavijayji have written the entire book on his own without taking anyone's assistance, in the time-span of just Four and a half month, whether it might be the tiring vihar of 700 Kms. in 34 days from Palitana to Mumbai or he might be surrounded by caboodle of responsibilities related to his Chaaturmas. He has managed to complete the process with full of enthusiasm and concern. Prior to this, he have also written a couple of story books in this language, which means that this book is his first standard creation and 3rd literary work in the modicum time-span of his renunciation. We are delighted, observing his uncommon determination of exerting till the last limit and applauding that, at this point we offer him the blessings that he embraces an all-round progress in the fields of knowledge - speech - literature and spiritualism!
And ... last but not the least! Just as a glowing candle is capable for lightening the another one, hope the influent life-incidents stitched in this book, fetches some positive change in the life of the readers...!
