TULSI-PRAJNA
the Tīrthankara and others the author admits easy courses in other fields also; but he does not appreciate the Samyog drști, propagated by Acharya Sri Tulsi, in his world fame Anuvrata Movement. He louds Mahatma Gandhi for his experiments in non-violence and truth but neglectfully omits his advocacy in certain cases where violence is a must. Hence his proposals for a new approach are partial and need further elaboration of the facts.
He has documented his thoughts and believes but I could not agree to the theory that Śråvakācara attained its growth after C. 500 A.D. However the significance and relevance of the subject is superfine and Dr. Khadabadi's. endeavours are certainly worthy of commendation.
