I am a regular reader of your Jain Journal. I read minutely all the articles published in it. It is a matter of regret that a journal containing such materials was never published before nor is being published at present in any language of our land. Maybe your journal is widely acclaimed in the West, but it is difficult to say how many of our own countrymen are profited by it. It is also difficult to say how much we, the Jainas, are profited by it. Your Mahavir Jayanti Special Number of this year is the finest example of collection of materials. Will it not be proper to print the whole matter in a book form so that it may be easily available to all ? Its Hindi edition may also be published. There is not a single book in any language on the state of Jainism in different States of India. If you have it published in a book form and put it on sale with the booksellers, you will do a great service.

Nepanagar, M.P.
I have come across your Journal and think that this Journal is very useful for common people to know in detail about Jainism. After seeing through your Journal, I am much impressed ... I would like to suggest that the Journal should be brought out also in Hindi language to enable common people to enjoy the advantages from your Journal. I hope you will think seriously over the matter and will take necessary action towards the issue of Hindi copy of your Journal.
