I am glad to know that Pujya Shri Kanji Swami Hirak Jayanti Mahotsav Samiti, Proposes to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Rev. Shri Kanji Swamiji on 13th of May 1964, and to mark this occassion proposes to bring out a Souvenir containing messages, etc. Shri Swamiji was born on the 2nd day of Vaisakh in the year 1946 ( Vikram Samvat), in Umrala in Saurashtra. Right from his childhood he was most religious minded and ceaselessly worked in search of self righteousness and advocated spiritualism. At the age of 24 he accepted ascetism and joined the Sthanakvasi Cult of Jainism and later on he embrased the Digambar Cult of Jainism. He kept before him the motto the self realisation which most of his followers strived to pursue.
As the Mayor of Bombay and on behalf of the citizens of this premier City in India, I take this opportunity to send my greetings and good wishes on this occassion and wish Rev. Shri Kanji Swami a long life to continue his spiritual pilgrimage for the good of mankind.
