Best charity is the charity of knowledge. Pondering over this statement, highly revered Pravartak Shri Amar Muni ji Maharaj launched the unique project of publishing the Jain Agams, the word of the Jina, after getting them translated in Hindi and English as well as including colourful illustrations. As our first publication in this series we brought out Illustrated Shri Uttaradhyayan Sutra with Hindi-English translation in 1992. This book was amply lauded by common readers as well as scholars. Now, after continued efforts of sixteen years we are approaching our goal in this mission of service to the scriptures. Till
date twenty-one illustrated Agams have been published. In the current year we 4i plan to add two more Agam works to this series -- Shri Prashna Vyakaran Sutra and Shri Bhagavati Sutra (Volume-3).
Shri Prashnavyákaran Sutra is the tenth book of the corpus of 12 Angas (Dvadashangi). This book deals with the five Asravas (inflow of karmas) and 4 five Samvars (blockage of the inflow of karmas). It has two sections
(Shrutskandh). The first section contains detailed discussion on five Ashravas - Himsă (violence), Mrishăvăd (falsity), Adattădăn (taking without being given), Abrahmacharya (non-celibacy), and Parigraha (covetousness). The second section contains detailed discussion on five Samvars - Ahimsã (nonviolence), Satya (truth), Achaurya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (celibacy), and Aparigraha (non-covetousness).
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. We are fortunate that he continues to inspire and guide us in this pious mission of service to the Shrut, and thereby lighting the everlasting lamp of knowledge.
We have been getting continued cooperation of contributing scholars like Shri Shrichand ji Surana 'Saras' (in editing), Agra; as well as Shri Surendra Kumar
