Preface.
I am Jain by birth and love Jain religion as Universal Religion. I was ignorant of its fundamental principles as the people of other religions generally are. Fortunately, I had a chance to see the author of this book and heard his updesh and had a talk with him which gave me much information about my religion. The author is a learned Jain Sadhu belonging to the Swetamber Sthanakwasi Sadhus of the Punjab. He is well versed in the Jain literature belonging to all branches of Jain. Though he is still about 30 years of age, yet his love for learning and teaching the others forced me to request him to write this book for the good of the public which he very kindly did here at my office as he is staying here with his Guru, great grand Guru & Chelas for their Chaturmas. I get this book printed for the public good as a token of gratitude for the obliga. tion the said Sadhu put me under by giving me the necessary information about my religion. The cost price only will be charged which will be given to the Punjab Jain Sabha.
