PUBLISHER'S NOTE
We are pleased to convey to our readers that we have come almost half way on the path of this historical mission of service to the scriptures. Till date we have published eighteen Agams with Hindi-English translations and illustrations. In the current year we are bringing out two AgamsShri Bhagavati Sutra, Volume-1 and three Chhed Sutras in one volume. Shri Bhagavati Sutra is an ocean of Jain metaphysics. It contains increasingly brilliant gems of invaluable knowledge.
The second book contains three Chhed Sutras, which form an important part of the Agamic literature on codes of ascetic praxis and conduct of Jain ascetics. A shraman cannot become a successful leader or head of a group of ascetics as long as he does not study the text and meaning of these Sutras. This group of scriptures can easily be called the book of codes or the constitution of Shraman religion. Both these Agams occupy equally high place in their respective fields.
Honouring the intense desire of and inspiration by late Gurudev Uttar Bharatiya Pravartak Bhandari Shri Padma Chandra ji M. this
project was launched by Uttar Bharatiya Pravartak Shri Amar Muni ji M. He continues to devote his unwavering and earnest attention to advancing and successfully concluding this mission.
Many generous and devout guru-devotees from different areas have displayed their devotion for the Guru and scriptures through their financial contributions. They encourage us and ask us to ensure that the pious flame of this mission of knowledge should continue burning. We express our sincere gratitude for them all, and present these two Agams this year.
Pujya Gurudev's able disciple Shri Varun Muni ji M. shares the responsibility of editing the Agams with all sincerity and devotion. We are getting regular assistance of contributing scholars like Shri Srichand ji Surana 'Saras', Agra; Shri Surendra ji Bothara, Jaipur; and Shri Rajkumar ji Jain, Delhi. We are, indeed, indebted to them.
