10th Biennial JAINA Convention
Whenever we met Bhattarakji, it was a pleasure. His nature was pure and simple. He always took the challenge to do ultimate good as much he could do. Jain community can not fill his loss.
Acharya Roopchandji
Charukeertiji Bhattarakji is not our midst now. Jains around the world are meditating on this loss. He continued deep study of Jain scripture and meditated upon it. His life was devoted to spread of Jain religion. I pay homage to his heavenly soul.
Saman Ashwinpragya
Charukeertiji was a Sangam of enthusiasm, generosity and belief. He was close to our Guru Acharya Tulsi and Mahapragyaji. Sudden loss is being felt all around. I pay homage to his soul with extreme pure thought.
Saman Shrutpragya
A Jain Muni is a live 'Acharanga Sutra'. In today's times of violent excitement Shree Charukeertiji stood like the soothing shade of renunciation, the very embodiment of sweetness and harmony. His death is not only a loss to the 'Jain Samaj' but in his death every follower and devotee of the spiritual ideals has lost a beacon. May his soul reach the spiritual goal.
Tarla Doshi
Bhattarak Shri Charukeerti Swamiji was a world figure and an outstanding personality among Jains. A scholar of Jain religion and philosophy, he did much to propagate the message of Jainism in and outside the country by setting by setting an example of a unique life style. He is no more with us today but he will always be remembered for his contribution, for the work that he has done for Jainism and will live in our memory forever.
Dr. Shekharchandra Jain
Jain community owes a great deal to Charukeertji Bhattarakji. He had spread Jain religion around the world without worrying about the physical beating his body was taking. He has impressed Jain religions on many souls. He has established temples in as many as one hundred homes. We will all miss him in this convention. I Pay homage to this great departing soul.
Pdt. Dheerajlal Mehta
It is too sad that we have lost Pujjya Shri Charukeerti Bhattarak Swamiji. His glory, eminence, and blessings will always be remembered. His untiring zeal, devotion, dedication and voluminous contribution in the furtherance of the cause and practice of our religion coupled with fostering fraternity amongst all of us in USA was glorious, magnificent and of great reverence. I convey my deepest concern and sincere sympathy with a fervent hope that his cherished memories will remain forever blooming the garden of our hearts.
