ADDRESS TO SITAL PRASADJI
15
war against those social evils which are eating into the very vitals of our social fabric. By your writings, speeches and examples you have laid the firm foundation of the social reform movement among the Jains on sound lines. In this connection your admirable work for the education and general uplift of women needs particular mention.
In collaboration with the late revered Seth Manak Chand, Hira Chand of Bombay you founded, besides several Sharavak Ashrams, many hostels which, besides catering to the secular needs of the Jaina students provided for their religious instruction as well. You were generally his right-hand in the many charitable and educational activities which he founded. Your work as Principal of the Syadvad Maha Vidyalaya Kashi is too well known to need any particular mention here.
We had long heard of the busy and crowded life you led, your presence here has enabled us to visualise it. You have greatly inspired all young and old, and instilled fresh life and vigour into our various institutions and all other activities.
We have felt that your very existence is a real blessing to the Samaj and your work for our spiritual and secular uplift will serve as an immortal monument of bold and clear thinking, spirit of sacrifice, and toleration of differences.
In the end we bid you good-bye and offer you our sincere thanks for all that you have done for us and assure you that you will always have an abiding place in the hearts of the Jains of this district.
