JAIN JOURNAL
I first received two copies of this journal in 1982 from Mr. R. L. Jain, President of the International Mahavir Jain Mission, Birmingham branch ; and it was later thanks to his introduction that I was able to correspond with Mr. G. Lalwani, and thereby obtain virtually a complete set of back issues and other literature.
In my opinion, this journal provides an invaluable service to its readership, with-researched articles on all aspects of Jainology, stimulating book reviews, a selection of plates evocative of Jainism's cultural heritage, and perceptive editorial comment.
The Editor is to be congratulated on the excellent standard of this journal, which he has maintained with evident dedication over the years.

The 'Jain Journal' has played a great influencing role for 25 years with its profound articles and writings, by inspiring many, many other scholars and authors to contribute their insights and experience. These articles have also helped many, many readers and seekers to get informatin, inspiration and sometimes transformation through this literature and in this way the Jain Journal has served a community of mankind and the world at large.
I appreciate and congratulate you, Mr. Lalwaniji, not only for what you did for the Jain Journal, which is wonderful, but also for the way you did it: with enthusiasm dedication, devotion and untiring 25 years of continuous effort with a pleasant, inspiring disposition. I pray that it will continue for a long time to come.
