A Reformist Jaina Missionary: Br. Shital Prasadji :
(271)
Per chance, nothing could be done in this direction because be was not a full-fledged monk who had highest regards in the community. Though he led a saint-like life, his reformist ideology and non-selfpromoting mental makeup- could not attract the intensity and amount of respect from the majority of the community towards his commemorative endeavour. Nevertheless, the Jain community of his birthplace should think in this direction to install a memorial of encouragement in his honour. In these days of direct or indirect selfpromotion, the selfless personalities like him should not be overlooked. He will always be the torchbearer for the younger generations.
