knowledge and ritualism (or what he calls Suska jnāna and Kriyā - jadatā). It must be noted that what he practised, experienced and then preached is very very relevant to prevailing conditions in religious world, especially the Jain religious world. It is for these reasons that the publishers thought it fit to bring out this work of Dr. U. K. Pungaliya. .:. :
The writer has taken great pains to present Śrîmad's philosophy and spirituality, especially for the English knowing aspirants. Though an advocate by profession, he had from his early age, inclinatin towards philosophy and spirituality. So after retiring from his legal practice, he studied śrīmad's life and philosophy in course of M.Phil and Ph. D. research projects and produced this work for the good of his own self and for that of all fellow-beings. We hope and pray that he may produce some more works of this kind in future.'
