DADAGURU SHRI JINA KUSHAL SURI Looking at the sincere devotion of the shravaks and the opportunity of promotion of Jainism, Acharyashri accepted the invitation.
Depending on circum
stances and area 1 wish to proceed in the
direction of Sindh.
Now the thirst for religion in that land will be satiated.
COCCO
Acharya Shri Jina Kushal Suri commenced his tour towards Sindh. It was a tortuous journey-people ignorant of religion and the strict ascetic-codes, scorching summer, ocean of sand in the desert, and walking bare-foot. He was unmoved by tormenting sun rays, hot winds, and non-availability of water for miles.
Walking bare-foot on hot sand dunes caused blisters. The afflictions of hunger, thirst, and heat made the journey all the more harsh.
