Virchand Raghavaji Gandhi: Assessment of a Jaina ... 103
See for these lectures, Virchand Gandhi, The Yoga Philosophy, Edited by Kumarpal Desai. Mumbai: World Jaina Confederation, 2009. In a communication to Diwanji (November 1894), Swami Vivekananda wrote thus: Now here is Virchand Gandhi, the Jaina whom you well know in Bombay. This man never takes anything but pure vegetables even in this terribly cold climate and, tooth and nail, tries to defend his countrymen and religion. The people of this country like him very well, but what are they doing who sent him over? They are trying to outcast him.' The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Vol. VIII, Calcutta: Advaita Ashrama, 1964, pp.328-329.
