________________
I AM MAHAVIRA
Fig.6. Peeling of the Juggler. There have been many such incidents in my days of childhood. All these caused self-confidence in me. I have been often thinking as to "why my companions are not like me? Why they are so fearful and weak ? One cannot run the ways of the world without being fearless, skilful and brave."
