(5) Institution of a cell for propogation of Jain Philosophy and Jain Conduct in the masses through a team of young learned scholars.
The present book is a part of the publications under this plan. It was really a very difficult task to translate this treatise in English. It required very hard labour too.
Spiritually inspired and devoted scholar of Jain Philosophy Br. Hemchandji Jain of Bhopal has worked hard to translate this famous work in English in spite of ill-health and heavy pre-occupations. Also Professor Jamnalalji Jain of Indore has taken great pains in reviewing the translation thoroughly and making necessary corrections and finally editing it. The Trust is highly indebted to both these selfless scholars whose only inspiration for this work has been “Tattva Prachar". We earnestly hope and expect that the kind cooperation of these two scholars will be available to the Trust in future as well in the service of ‘Jinvani'.
The Publishers are also very much thankful to the donors, specially to Shri Bhagwanji Bhai Kachra Bhai Shah, London who kindly donated Rs. 24,000 (30% of the cost price) benevolently to keep the price of this publication to the minimum. We express our profound grief that Shrimati Dahiben Bhagwanji Shah now is not in our midst.
Our thanks are due to Shri Sohanlalji Jain, Jaipur Printers Pvt. Ltd., Jaipur for the nice job the press has performed. We are also thankful to Shri Rajmalji Jain of Jaipur and to all those people who have directly or indirectly helped and inspired us for publishing this English version.
We hope earnestly that the enlightened readers will derive joy and spiritual comfort from the principles enunicated in this Work. If they develop liking for spiritualism, our efforts will have enough justification.
