________________ Memoirs about Shrimad by Gandhiji 139 who are worthy. Not everyone will be interested in his writings, although a critic will find enough scope in it for criticism. Those with faith in these writings will get completely engrossed in them. What I have always felt while going through his writings is that they contain purity and truth. Not a single word is written merely to prove his knowledge. His objective was to make the reader participative in the soulful joy contained in it. I have a firm belief that one who desires to discard self-agony, one who is eager to realise the ultimate goal will find enough in his writings, irrespective of whether he is a Hindu or of any other faith. I am confident that some of the reminiscences based on my memories would help the worthy souls towards their goal. [1] Today happens to be the birth anniversary of the late Shrimad Rajchandra whose memoirs I am attempting to capture. His birth anniversary falls on the full moon day of the Kartik month (VS 1979). It is not my objective to write the biography of Shrimad Rajchandra. It is beyond my capacity, and I do not have enough material for doing so. If I were to write his biography, I would need to visit his birthplace, Vavaniya, and spend a few days there; examining his residence and seeing the places where he played and roamed during his childhood; meeting a few of his childhood friends; visiting the school where he studied, and meeting his relatives and acquaintances. After collecting adequate information about him, I might be able to venture into writing his biography. But for the present, I possess none of this information I also have doubts about my ability and worthiness to write
