Jain Education InL
This work having been revised by Pundit Amritlal Amarchand, an ex-student of Shri Yashovijayji Jain Pathashala, Benâres is laid before the public by us as "Vol. No. 21" of our series.
This work deals with the manner and method of imparting religious teaching. It describes the temper of mind of persons fit and unfit to imbibe the spirit of such a teaching, as well as the qualifications of a true Guru. The treatment of the subject in the book is very systematic and highly edifying. The arrangement of this work differs from that of Adhyatmakalpadruma in that it deals with the topics in many forms to suit different readers, and is highly illustrative. The language of this is metaphorical, and expounds its subject quite in a practical way.
