________________ XXV Acknowledgment I feel that it is a right place to acknowledge my indebtedness for the help and encouragement received from my teachers, family members, and friends to complete this task: Ācārya Kanaknandhiji inspired me to express concepts of Samayasāra through the examples of modern science. Dr Hukum Chandji Bharill motivated me to write a book on Samayasāra in English and has provided the soft copy of his book in Hindi on Samayasāra to let me extract original stanzas of Kundakunda and Amộtacandra typed in Devanāgari. I would also like to express my indebtedness to my father Shri Bhanwarlalji Agrawal who taught me basics of Samsksta and Jainology besides other worldly lessons. Even today at the age of ninety plus he takes interest in my spiritual progress. Shri Pawanji Jain (Mangalayatan) introduced me to Mrs. Sheetal Vijen Shah (London) for reviewing the manuscript. Mrs. Shah carefully read the entire manuscript and provided many suggestions that lead to the improvement of the manuscript. Similarly, my friends, Dr. Kirit Gosaliya (Phoenix), Dr. Prem Suman Jain (Udaipur), Br. Hemachandji Jain 'Hem' (Bhopal), Dr. Jayantilal Jain (Mangalayatan University), Dr. N. L. Kachhara (Udaipur), and Dr. L. C. Jain (Jabalpur), have gone through the manuscript and have provided many comments and suggestions that helped me improve the work. In addition to providing the valuable suggestions, Dr. Prem Suman Jain has been kind enough rite the 'Foreword', and Br. Hemachandji Jain has encouraged me by providing the 'Preface' to be included in this work. Dr. Veer Sagar Jain (Delhi), Dr. Anupam Jain (Indore), Shri Vivek Jain (Milpitas/Indore), Dr. R. C. Jain (Ujjain), Dr. Ravi Sheorey (Stillwater), Shri Vimalji Jain (Udaipur), late Shri Jagdish Chandraji Goyal (my maternal uncle, a scholar of Bhagavad Gita from Indore), and my family members (Manak Lal, Nirmal Kumar, Kavita, and Vishal) have been nice enough to go through the manuscript during different phases of its development and have provided their feedback that lead to the betterment of the work. My wife, Mrs. Pushpa Agrawal, encouraged and helped me in various ways. She took interest in discussing many stanzas with me, and she read a large number of pages of the manuscript. Her feedback specially helped me in making the language simpler. Jain Education International For Personal & Private Use Only www.jainelibrary.orgPage Navigation
