Today, Acharya Shri is not in front of us, however, by holding his sacred command on our heads, we were able to do as much work as we could in his presence, from which he experienced supreme satisfaction during his Sallekhana period. And according to his command and desire, we are presenting the Shatkhandagama composed by Bhagwan Pushpadanta and Bhootbali in its original form along with a Hindi translation to the readers for self-study, experiencing supreme joy.
Acharya Shri was a peaceful mind, a deep ascetic, an influencer of Jain Dharma, a promoter of the path of liberation, a celibate from childhood, and a well-wisher of the world. Through him, the great work of renovation and dissemination of the scripture-like material body of Bhagwati Jinvani Mata, the form of this supreme path, has taken place. There is no power for society to express gratitude to such a great Acharya in any word or meaning. True gratitude can only be expressed through deep faith in Dharma, unwavering devotion in character, inclination towards self-study and self-reflection, and conduct accordingly, as per his teachings and orders. It was impossible to start this great work without the late, most revered Acharya Shri. All this work is the result of his extraordinary teachings, orders, guidance, and continuous inspiration. We remember him with utmost faith and devotion, and even though he is not physically present, we offer him hundreds of salutations and express our goodwill. We pray that we, along with the entire Jain community, remain vigilant and aware for the fulfillment of the desire to spread the true Dharma.
Seeing, seeing the form of Surishanta, drinking, drinking the nectar of words. Remembering, remembering his qualities, those whose feet have touched, have become peaceful, virtuous, and devoted to the eyes.
