ADDRESS TO BRAHMACHARI SITAL
PRASADJI (Copy of the Address presented by the members of the Jain Graduates Association, Rohtak, to Jain Dharma Bhushan Dharma Divakar Brahmachari Sital Prasadji on 11-11-28.)
We, the members of the Jain Graduates Association, Rohtak, on the eve of your departure, humbly and dutifully render you our most cordial thanks for your kindly agreeing to spend the rainy season this year at Rohtak and for all the benefit-religious and secular that we have been able to derive !rom your readings of the Shastras and from your frequent discourses on subjects, religious, social and philosophical, which have commanded the admiration of us all.
We fully appreciate the many and various qualities of head and heart which you possess. Your clarity of thought, keen and deep insight, into religious and secular matters, firmness of purpose and above all your spirit of toleration have not only stifled all opposition, but given a great impetus to the spirit of enquiry. Your example will serve as a beacon light to the future workers for a long time to come.
In the field of religious literature, you have not only written several original books of great merit and translated others into simple and beautiful Hindi, but you have also encouraged and guided others in the work of English translation of several ancient scriptures such as Gomat Sara and Samaya Sara etc. The Jain Mitra owes its present reputation and popularity to your long connection herewith and to your learned and thoughtful contribution thereto, which have aroused a wide spread awakening in the Samaj.
While occupied in the study and teaching of religion, you have found time to study the social needs of a modern community, placed as we are, and you have carried on a relentless Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
