आ. शांतिसागरजी जन्मशताब्दि स्मृतिग्रंथ recognize in their hearts. We may seem at times to be preliminary concerned with material things, but under the surface lies a deep respect and awe of those who dedicate themselves to selfless and saintly living. As a representative in India of the Government and people of United States, therefore, it is with reverence and humility that I join those who pay tribute to the great saint Acharya Shri Shantisa gar Maharaj.
3. Dr. Juan Marin,
Ambassador of Chile in India The greatest lesson of India to the world is Ahimsa and in that field Acharya Shri Shantisagar Maharaj reached unequalled heights. I am proud to associate myself with celebrations of his 81st Anniversary and to shine with the light that still radiates from his great soul.
4. Dr. Najib Ullah,
Ambassador of Afganisthan in India I am very happy to know that you intend celebrating throughout India the Diamond Jubilee of this great Man of Peace and wish to convey to you on this auspicious occasion my fraternal greetings and all good wishes for the success, peace and prosperity of all the All India Digambar Jain Mahasabha. May the glorious and peaceful teachings of this great and noble man prove ever beneficial and an example to all.
5. Mr. Roy Gollan,
High Commissioner of Australia in India All the world is covinced that our best efforts to improve the material conditions of mankind will fail unless there is some spiritual content and an idealism underlying them. With this realisation I felicitate Acharya Shri Shantisagar on his 81st brithday and trust that his followers will faithfully carry out his ideals and teachings.
