________________ SHRIMAD RAJCHANDRA To test Dharshibhai, Shrimad Raj chandra once requested that the former open an umbrella for him and walk through the Morbi Bazaar. Dharshibhai's devotion was such that he immediately complied. The sight of a great judge holding an umbrella for a twenty years old boy was truly astonishing ! He read all shastras without even formally studying languages like Sanskrit and Magadhi, and studied Vedanta, Upanishads, and Jain scriptures all by himself. CONCE Contact with local Jain monks at the Upashreya (an abode of Jain monks) attracted him greatly. He was deeply influenced by the austerity and the philosophical depths of Jainism.
