________________ a little over one year's sickness. In brief, Shrimadji lived and died as a Self-realized soul, though in body, completely independent of it. He had in his mind an aspiration to re-establish the pure religion of Shri Mahavirswami which had been distorted in the institutional sectarianism which cut at the very root of Jainism. To some extent this purpose has been fulfilled by his great disciples in recent years. Shrimad Rajchandra was a universal man practicing the universal religion of Atma, the only reality and he defined a person as Jain if he followed an enlightened Guru's advice and practiced the religion of Atma. Infinite salutations to the great Shrimad Rajchandra. 26
