PUBLISHER'S NOTE
Ramakrishna Paramhansa was blessed with a disciple like Swami Vivekanand in this age of rationality and reason, Jainacharya Tulsi is fortunate enough to have a humble disciple of the brilliance of Muni Nathmal Hanuman profoundly revered Rama. Swami Vivekanand deeply respected Ramakrishna Paramhansa Similar 'Gurubhakti' is found in Muni Nathmal An erudite scholar in several languages, a thinker with lucid mind, a lively writer, an imaginative poet and philosopher--that is how one can describe Muni Nathma! Not only the Jainas, but the whole of the intellectual world is impressed by his literary works 2500 years have passed since Lord Mahavir was born The world of today is in greater need of his ideology 'Shraman Mahavir'is a renowned treatise of Muni Nathmal in Hindi Mitra Parishad of Calcutta has published its English translation with the hope that it would help those who do not know Hindi to comprehend the subtilties of Mahavir's thoughts Lastly, we are very greateful to Sri T.M.P. Mahadevan for his forward & to Sri Dinesh Chandra Sharma for the translation of the original book.
