special messenger of God our reply will be in emphatic 'No'. He is not only great UPASAKA and seer of the Jain religion and philosophy but also a great promoter and messenger of Universal love and world peace. In a true, sense he is a true votary of humanistic and ethical values. His visible personality is as impressive as that of a celestial being. His countenance is resplendent like a thousand suns shining glisteningly in one place, his eyes "a flame of fire," his feet resemble "fine brass" as if they burned in a furnace, his voice bubbles in the "honeyed sap" of docile-meekness--a perfect living embodiment of mercy, piety, suavity, humility, magnanimity and simplicity. In the fire of penance burning the fuel of KARMAS he attains eternal gift of in exhaustible joy. He is an apostle of Ahimsa and Peace. He is preaching Truth, Non-violence, nonpossession, non-stealing, celebacy-in a nutshell the religious path. The gist of his preaching sermons rests on the triple path of right faith, right knowledge and right conduct. In his pure soul appears the quartenary of Infinite-knowledge, Conation, Power and Bliss.

He is the propounder of the law prised by the best of semigods and men, the benefactor of universe who has made the best use of human birth really glorifies the radiant and pure place of Acharya. His is an image of Equanimity who has extracted the poisonous fangs from the serpent of self and rode the elephant of ego victory-victory over best and vice.
Acharya Anand Rishi possesses a titan like indomitable spirit, contains steelish might in his feet. Omniscient perfection in his sayings, his endless and rampant Pad Vihar (travelling on foot) all the more an active spokesman of the doctrine of Ahimsa and Peace endeavouring to vanish the mist of superstition appeared in this world. Along with his rigourous path of penance, unflinching faith in moral and ethical values he has no peer in his astute knowledge of the obscure jainistic Scripture. His interior godly pious being is replete with multifold natural qualities viz.-Earth like Mercy, Moon like Coolness, Ocean like Serenety and Perseverence, Mountain like firmness, Diamond like rigidity, flower like suppleness etc. His pious and noble heart is the fountain of spontaneous over flows of unbounded-righteousness and modesty, incomparable debonair amiability. He is phelgmatic in nature,
