One of the great meritorious, works done for the benefit of mankind is the service of the scriptures or to help spread knowledge. Knowledge is a blessing for humans. It is the inner eye. With the help of this only man knows about his good and bad deeds, his merits and demerits, what is good or bad for him, and accordingly heads towards the right path. Blessed are those who have devoted their life to the task of serving knowledge or spread of the right knowledge contained in scriptures; who have made and continue to make proper use of their power and wealth in this direction.
The true meaning of the term 'Shastra' (scripture) is this onlythat which educates our inner self and exercises control and discipline over our feelings and attitudes. Thus scriptures are also teachers. The link between Bhagavan and Guru is scripture. To indulge in popularising and propagating scriptures is a sign of becoming meritorious to the highest degree.
We are lucky that with the blessings of Uttar Bharatiya Pravartak Gurudev Bandari Shri Padmachandra ji Maharaj, his scholarly disciple Pravachan Bhushan Up-pravartak Shri Amar Muni ji Maharaj has chosen us as associates in the historic plan to publish Illustrated Agams. With his revered inspiration six scriptures have been published with illustrations and Hindi and English translations. It is matter of great joy that those who earlier did not study scriptures, who were even afraid of the name scripture thinking that weapons and scriptures are not to be touched, have now, after seeing the illustrated Agams, started studying scriptures. Numerous non-Hindi scholars as well as general readers living in foreign countries are also getting these scriptures from India and studying. This gives us a lot of encouragement. These are the signs of success of our plan.
The work of publishing illustrated Agams is cost intensive. Multicolour illustrations, printing, translation, all require sizeable
