________________ especially when Mahatma Gandhi has made its delivery, his mission. Mahatma Gandhi is only a bearer of it not its originator. The sublime doctrine of Ahimsa was evolved in the hoary antiquity by the great prophets of the Jains * * " Dina Nath Bhabra, B.A., B.T., Sialkot :-"Jainism is a Religion, the merits and beauty of which have, since centuries, been lying hidden from the reach of all of us as they remained confined within the four walls of an unknown dialect-Prakrit. It is through the medium of this magazine that this philosophy, being transformed into English, is being carried to the literate members of the Jain community who but for this, would undoubtedly have remained in dark about it. * It is for this reason that we ought to feel proud for the existence of this organ which speaks our mind and deserves our patronage. 19 * * Mr. Banarsi Das Jain, M.A., London :Judging from its contents, I think it is exactly what a Jaina periodical ought to be in this age of liberal thought and awakening. In my opinion its pages deserve a perusal by all Jains and students of Jainism." ** * * Mr. A. Puttuswamiah, B.A, L.C.E., Retired Executive Engineer, Mysore :-"It has been doing very good propagandist work not only in bringing people of different sub-sections of the Jaina Community into closer unity, but also in the direction of disillusioning the minds of learned scholars of other faiths from the mistaken notions about the Jaina religion. The articles published from time to time, are very edifying and instructive, as they are being contributed by educated and cultured men of the community, not to speak of the literary grace and masterly exposition found therein. Apply to As such, the journal richly deserves special encouragement from the wealthy and educated classes of the community and I heartily wish for its long life and prosperity in the interests of the amelioration and advancement of the community as a whole." - THE MANAGER, THE JAINA GAZETTE Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat * G.
