no more, no less' in the sacred Jain scriptures, which store the message of the twenty four Jain Tirthankaras - the same as it had its spontaneous outburst from their mouths in the times immemorial.
The learned nude monk aims at imparting the true message of Jainism to one and all 'to kindle the flame of good ideas and restraint bad feelings in man.' He is hurried but not worried to hand over the cultural heritage of Jainism to the present and future generations of mankind, undeterred and unhindered by all challenges of the materialistic world; for this young soul has ‘miles to go and miles to go, before he sleeps.
I am highly grateful to His Holiness Munishri Kam Kumar Nandi. He during his Chaturmas (four months rainy season stay) at Jain Bagh, Veer Nagar, Saharanpur, in the year 1994, when I first came in contact with him, entrusted me with the pious work of giving English rendering to and enlarging his Hindi sermons on the Ten Universal Virtues 'Dash Lakshan Dharma'. He advised me to utilize the remaining years of my transitory life in self uplift and social service. I hope this spiritual torch of Jain precepts will show light of truth and peaceful coexistence to the benighted world treading the path of bitterness, intolerance and discord.
All suggestions for the improvement of the book both in language and subject matter are most welcome.
I cannot fail to acknowledge the valuable contribution of religious minded, charitable and benevolent persons for their financial assistance in publishing this book. All those, who have rendered their services in the publication work, deserve all praise.
