________________
The Doctrines of the Jainas
Shastri, Dr. Nathmal Tatia and Shri Chimanlal J. Shah, whose essays are included here. “Jainism : A Way of Life' written by Shri B. P. Wadia, a great scholar and thinker included in this publication is no longer with us. His absence has caused a void amongst ardent students and votaries of Jainism.
The revered Acharya Shri Vijayasamudrasuri Maharaj, and the well-known orientalist and the learned scholar revered Agamaprabhakar Shri Punyavijayaji Maharaj have always offered guidance in accelerating the activities of the Nidhi. To both these great saints and scholars, we bow down in reverence.
Our sincerest thanks are due to Shri M. M. Dhruv, M.A., LL.B. Presidency Magistrate, Bombay for an illumi. nating and thought provoking foreword symbolic of his deep study of Jainism.
The Nidhi thanks its numerous donors and well wishers for helping and furthering the cause of the Nidhi.
The Nidhi welcomes and invites suggestions and cooperation in popularising its sponsored project.
