VII young new generation, should not feel either bored or insulted by some necessary repetition.
Manubhai earned the Masters degree in Economics & Political Science from the University of Bombay in 1947. He then worked for Government for 28 years and retired as Assistant Commissioner of Industries. He immigrated to USA in 1980. He has been the Founder Editor of "Jain Darshan" since 1990 and a Regional Editor of "Jain Digest" by North American Jain Federation (JAINA) since 1995. He has written and published six books under titles: Dev Vandan, Essence of Jainism, Samayik, Spiritual Code & Restraints, Jain Stories of Ancient Times and Pilgrimage to Shatrunjay (Palitana). Manubhai is an avid reader of Shrimad Räjchandra's writings. As a result, he has translated in English; Shrimad's Chha Padano Patra (Appendix-II), Apoorva Avasar, Bhakti Rahasya (20 Dohara), Amulya Tattva Vichär, some letters and now this Atmasiddhi. He has also written extensively on Yoga (meditation) and Tattvärtha Sutra. He is very dedicated, healthy, enthusiastic and active even at the age of 83! May he live long healthy life and give us more gems like this. He has three sons and a daughter, all married and settled in USA, with 8 grand children.
I sincerely appreciate this excellent work and congratulate Shri Manubhai for the same. I hope that all readers will benefit from this work; whether they are casual readers, scholars or spiritual aspirants. May Mahavir Swami bless us all.
With best wishes and blessings,
Amchaud
