This April the Jain Journal completed 25 years of its existence. In this short span of time what we have achieved is not for us to judge, we leave it to our readers and posterity. But this much we can say that we have strived hard to fulfil the ideal and values which we have set before us when we started its publication and have the satisfaction that inspite of many vicissitudes we are able to remain true to them.
To celebrate the occasion we are issuing July number of the Journal as a special issue containing some short write-ups from our readers and scholars about Jain Journal along with a comprehensive index of articles etc. of the last 25 years and a short introduction, to our contributors and advertisers.
Besides, we are issuing an anthology-Jainthology of 25 articles selected at random from the back-files of the Journal. It will give us an insight into the Jainistic Studies and help lay readers to know what Jainism is and what it stands for. It will be given free to our subscribers.
We take this opportunity to thank all concerned who helped us in various ways-our readers, well wishers and patrons, our contributors and advertisers, the press but for their unstinted support and cooperation we would not have been able to achieve much.
Lastly we remember those who were with us and gave us moral backing and inspired us for this noble project but are no more on this earth. Let their inspiration be our beacon light for the future.
The Editor
