Jain philosophy is one for leading a life with his conscience with austerity, tolerance forgiveness, Satya & Ahimsa. It teaches love for all --- not only human beings but with all living beings-and one should therefore be proud, if he is a real Jain believer in the old saying of 'Live & Let Live'.
I am proud that a saint like Acharyashri Deshbhushan Ji Maharaj has completed 51 years of his dedicated Sadhna and pray Almighty to give him many many years to live to make people know what Jainism actually means and teaches and how problems of the world can be solved by adopting Jain principles of universal brotherhood through mutual love. Jain saints like Acharyashri Ji have undoubtedly enhar.ced the 'Jain' prestige & how people appreciate about the way the Jain Sadhus live with austerity & sacrifices even in the present age.
I respectfully pray for Acharyaji's long life.
