Availability of thirty two Agams at present is the result of far sighted approach of Devardhigani Kshamashraman (so in Jain community Devardhigani) is considered a great personality. Revolutionary Vision of Gurudev Thirty two Agams are the pillars of Spiritual knowledge. In the past, innumerable persons have attained salvation with the help of their deep study. Even in current period several practitioners are moving ahead on the path leading to salvation by their study. Many years earlier, my spiritual Guru Bhandari Padmachand ji Maharaj had the idea that Agams should be available in the language of the common man. He then told me: Amar, do something that Agamic knowledge should not remain confined only to the learned. It should be accessible even to the average student. Even young practitioner (student) may also study them with same interest as is seen among the learned.

Along with Hindi version commendable English rendering and pictures illustrating the meaning gave a good look to the publication of Agams. During the last two decades such a literature in the form of 26 Agams has been published. The dream of visionary gurudev is almost at the stage of completion. In this very chain, Avashyak sutra is being published. The reader is himself aware of the great utility and popularity of these publications. These Agams are studied and taught in many western countries such as U. K., U.S.A., and Germany. The western world is wonder struck to go through the elaborate description in of Jain thought.
