HOMAGE TO
SWASTISHREE CHARUKEERTIJI BHATTARAKJI MAHARAJ
Respected Bhattarakji was a spiritual and straightforward person. My guru Acharya Shushil Kumarji Maharaj had mutual respect and admiration of Charukeertiji. When in USA, Bhattarakji always visited Guruji. I have seen that Charukeertiji had very deep knowledge. Due to sudden death, Jain community has suffered irreparable loss.
Muni Amrendra Kumar
Charukeertiji and we met several times. He was a propagator of Jain religion. We admired his work in spreading Jain religion in India and abroad. We wish that his soul would continue spiritual progress in future towards Godlihood.
Bandhu Triputi (Munichandraji, Keertichandraji, and Jinchandraji)
10th Biennial JAINA Convention
Charukeertiji was a man of wisdom and impartiality. We had done Prtishtha together for many temples and I found that he had always created harmonious environment with attitude of openness and harmony. He has contributed to Jain society of America with knowledge, guidance and inspiration. People will miss his presence - he was irreplaceable.
Gurudev Chitrabhanu
Charukeertiji's deep knowledge in Jainism was worth mentioning. He was a good orator in Hindi. We used to share the ideas with him in India and in foreign countries. We saw a great loss to the Jain community when he left this world on 16" of January 1998. We pray Lord Supreme Bhagwan Parshvanath and Divine Mother Shri Padmavati Devi for the heavenly abode and eternal peace for the departed soul of late Shri Charukeerti Bhattarak Swamiji.

PHILADELPHIA, PA
Sudden departure of Charukeertiji Bhattarakji is not only a loss to Jain community but also to the spiritual world. His magnificent personality was a natural attraction. His deepness of knowledge was sky high. In the field of religion and literature his part will be known in golden color. Emptiness caused by his loss can not be filled. My homage to great Gyanyogi, Karmayogi soul.
