Jain Education International Sir, I was rather engaged and a little unwell too, and hence I could not till this day auswer your kind note of the 5th Inst., with which you were good enough to send me as present the two works entitled The Yoga Philosophy" & "Karma Philosophy" of the late lamented Mr. Virchand Gandhi. The author was a great friend of mine and we worked to-gether in Bombay in works of good for the people. He was a learned man, but he was a good man also. When he returned to Bombay after his successful travels, various institutions applied to him for lectures but at my instance he readily delivered his first lecture in the Budhi Vardhak Sabha, which I had then reorganized. The meeting was largely attended by educated people and by ladies too, and we all gave him a very hearty welcome. In his speech he of course spoke much about the religious knowledge he advocated, but at the end laid special stress upon the proposition, "Religion consists not in knowledge, but in a holy life." As a matter of fact he was in his life a saint possessing the great qualities of goodness, kindness, purity and calm_ ress. The late Sheth Virchand Dipchand was kind enough to seni me so ne of his have papers and I For Private & Personal Use Only 46 www.jainelibrary.org
