________________ 66 Gandhi's Teachers : Rajchandra Ravjibhai Mehta One translation was rendered by Brahmachari Goverdhandas and published by Shrimad Rajchandra Gyan Pracharak Trust in Ahmedabad, India for free distribution. This translation, with minor editing to improve readability, has been included in Chapter 4 with immense gratitude to the translator and the source. Another version of the translation was included in The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi and published by the Government of India and Navajivan Trust. This translation has been included as Appendix 2, again with immense gratitude to the translator and the sources. See: Goverdhandas, Brahmachari, Mahatma Gandhi and Kavi Rajchandra: Questions Answered. Ahemdabad: Srimad Rajchandra Gyan Pracharak Trust, 1989, pp. 9-20; Government of India, The Collected Works... Vol. 32... op. cit., 1958-1984, pp. 593-602. Note 1: It should be noted that Question 16 about the miracles of Jesus is stated in the translation by Brahmachari Goverdhandas and is omitted in the other translation. The question about Buddha (Question 20) appears in the translation included in The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi and does not appear in the translation by Brahmachari Goverdhandas. Note 2: The reader will find different emphases in the translations and a comparative reading is recommended. Note 3: While answering Gandhi's questions, Rajchandra refers to Jain philosophy at many places. The reader is advised to consult Chapter 3 - Jainism and Jain Goal of Life to properly understand Rajchandra's answers. 18. Karmas are actions or doings. Also see: Chapter 2, footnote 20. 19. Shaddarshan-Samuchchaya is a treatise of Jain philosophy. Shaddarshan-Samuchchaya or ShatdarshanSamuchchaya refers to the same source. See: Appendix 2 - Gandhi's Questions and Rajchandra's Replies. 20. Smadhi is spiritual equanimity. 21. See: Chapter 2, footnote 20 and Chapter 3, footnote 24.
