dozen more are the representative works on Jaina Philosophy and Religion. They are the glaring examples of his erudition and deep insight into Metaphysics, Logic and Psychology. He deals the subject with an analytical mind, embarking upon the full tide of Jaina Tattva and Pramāņa-Mīmāṁsā. His book "Nayavāda : Šanti aura Samanvaya kā Patha" is true to its name and may serve as a royal road to world-peace and international understanding, only if the billigerent nations just care to listen to the wise talk of the great seer-our Yuvāchāryaji Mahārāja.
An inseparable relationship exists between literature and culture. The development and decay of culture depends solely upon those of literature. The modern trend of literature is, as it were, flowing into uneven stream and nobody knows into which abyss would it lead culture. Old values are fast deteriorating and new ones do not seem to be taking shape. New construction is at a snail's pace; decay is taking place by leaps and bounds. In this transitional period of our culture, Yuvachāryaji has produced a vast literature and dovetailed concrete suggestions for the multiple evils prevalent in our social stucture. His “Anuvrata Darśana”, “Naitiktā kā Gurutvākarşaņa", “ Samasyā kā Patthara, adhyātma ki cheinī” and a dozen more of such type present a code of conduct of universal religion in the true sense of the term. Aņuyrata is not confined to any particular sect or mode of worship. Yuvāchāryaji has shown new dimensions to this movement started by Acharya Shri. who in turn got it from Lord Mahavira, “Religion transcends sect and creed, time and place, manner of food & clothing."
His poetical works "Asru Vīnā", "Atulā Tulā”, and “Sambodhi" testify his scholastic aptitude. Whatever saints mumble becomes a hymn; whatever they write turns into reflections of the soul. They utter and act for self-realisation. They worship for perennial bliss. In the light of this autobiographical element in "Atulā Tulā”, it can be deduced that Yuvāchāryaji is an "āśu kavi” (instant poet) who excels in "Samasyāpūrti' which he has rendered in chaste and flawless Sanskrit, Prakrit and Hindi on different occasions. He does not want to be tested through others' measuring stick; he has his own measurement which others fail to comprehend.
Parassa tolāmi aham tulāye Māņeņa annassa niyam miņāmi Pāsāmi dițțhi parassa ce ham To atthibhāvo pi ņa appaņotthi.
