event. It is indeed an Apurva Avsar for the Jain community, with internal differences forgotten and such unity in celebrating the memory and teachings of one of Lord Mahavir's greatest disciples.
This book has been published in English to bring Shrimad's life and teachings to a wider audience and to share with readers an understanding of the True Path. Using more modern media, a video film of his life story, both in English and Gujarati have been prepared, as well as an additional Gujarati film depicting further episodes from his life is also under preparation. There are also over 90 computer-generated paintings depicting the events in Shrimad's life, to be exhibited at major Jain centers all over the world
Shrimad Rajchandra was a natural poet and a set of two audio cassettes and audio CDs with Shrimad's most popular poems and songs, deeply philosophical and spiritually inspiring compositions, have been produced. A translation of Shrimad's Atma Siddhi Shastra into modern English is also being undertaken under the auspices of the Institute of Jainology
We are grateful to all the individuals, organisations and institutions who have extended their enthusiastic support to the various programs detailed above. We are also thankful to the members of the Shree Raj-Saubhag Satsang Mandal for their dedicated and unflinching effort. We would also like to thank the eminent Dr. Kumarpal Desai, a luminary of Gujarati literature who cooperated in the preparation of both English and Gujarati versions of this book, and the printer of the book Hi Scan Ltd. Our heartfelt gratitude are extended to all those who have given financial help and support.
Our humble attempt to describe Shrimad's life is like a tiny star in the vast firmament that is his life. Nevertheless, we hope to cast light on Shrimad Rajchandra's life, his thoughts, the method he espoused for spiritual progress, and the path he illuminated for the welfare of humanity. If there are any errors or deficiencies, we would like you to bring them to our notice, and we seek your forgiveness and indulgence for them.
May the inner strength of saints acquired by their spiritual endeavours benefit the world. Shree Raj Saubhag Satsang Mandal
