PUBLISHER'S NOTE
2010
"Imparting knowledge to others is the greatest charity.” Translating these words into action Shri Amar Muni Ji made a long-term plan for publishing the precepts of the Jina, compiled in the form of Jain Sutras (Jain Canon), with Hindi and English translations and suitable multicoloured illustrations.
In this project the following Agams have already been published
• Acharanga Sutra (Part 1 and 2). Jnata Dharma Kathanga Sutra (Part 1 and 2). Antakrid-dasha Sutra . Kalp Sutra Uttaradhyayana Sutra • Dashavaikalika Sutra Nandi Sutra • Upasakdasha and Anuttaropapatikdasha Sutra • Anuyogadvar Sutra (Part 1) .Rajaprashniya Sutra
We are extremely fortunate that, with the inspiration and blessings of highly revered late Uttar Bharatiya Pravartak Gurudev Bhandari Shri Padma Chandra Ji Maharaj, Up-pravartak Shri Amar Muni Ji is inspiring and encouraging us in this noble mission of lighting the everlasting lamp of knowledge This lamp of knowledge neither flickers in any storm nor gets extinguished by the catastrophic vagaries of time Actually, by lighting this eternal lamp, Shri Amar Muni Ji is doing an epoch-making work.
In this plan of illustrated publications, the work on this Anuyogadvar Sutra has been completed in two parts and is now being placed before the readers.
To understand the concepts contained in the original terminology of Jain philosophy and then translate them into English is really a difficult task and needs careful contemplation and pondering. Specially for an Agam like Anuyogadvar Sutra real hard work had to be put in. However, we are contented that the translator has put in all the efforts and sources at his command to translate the philosophical terminology and present it in a simple and comprehensible style.
