FOREWORD
It is a pleasure to think of great men, to read about them and to write about their activities and achievements. This is the only reason which induced me to write this little pamphlet on the great Acharya. There is nothing original in this book. While preparing this pamphlet I have freely drawn much matter from the following books :-Mr. A. J. Sunavala's Vijaya Dharma Suri : His Life and Worth; Dr. L. P. Tessitori's Vijaya Dharma Suri: A Jain Acharya of the Present Day; Dr. Charlotte Krause's English Introduction to Dharma Jivan Pradip a Gujarati poetical work on the life of the Acharya and Sri Vijaya Indra Suri's. Reminiscences of Vijaya Dharma Suri. I am deeply indebted to every one of them for the help I have derived from their books.
