PUBLISHER’S NOTE Under our scheme of publishing illustrated Agam literature we brought out illustrated Kalpasutra this year. Alongwith this we are also bringing out this beautiful edition of the illustration Tirthankar Charitra. We are sure it will be appreciated and liked by our readers. The main goal of our organization is to bring out useful, important and beneficial publications. In the series we have published are novel and well-received works like illustrated Uttaradhyayan Sutra, and illustrated Antakriddasha Sutra. Many more useful works are in line. The organization is also involved in other activities of service to the masses as well as ascetics. We take this opportunity to express our profound gratitude to Pujya Gurudev U. B. Pravartak Bhandari Shri Padma Chandra Ji M. and Up-pravartak, Pravachan „±üü Keshari ¿¢¢Ý¢² Gurudev Shri Amar Muni ji M. ½±¼é with their inspiration, Jencouragement, and guidance our organization is doing many works of public service. Our thanks to Shri Srichand ji Surana ‘Saras’, the editor, who has accomplished the aesthetic but tough job of editing under the guidance of Gurudev Shri Amar Muni ji; and to Shri Surendra ji Bothara who has added to its scope of readership by providing the English version, besides sharing the editing. Many hurdles are tackled with the blessings and inspiration from the religious leaders even in this highly cost effective work of publication of scriptures. We got considerable contribution and assistance from masses with the inspiring help of Up-pravartini Mahasati Ajnavati ji, Up-pravartini Mahasati Swarnakanta ji, Up-pravartini Mahasati Pavan Kumari ji, and Up-pravartini Mahasati Dr. Sarita Ji M. We express our deep gratitude to all these revered teachers and hope that we shall continue to be blessed with their inspiring help. The upcoming and able disciples of Gurudev Shri Amar Muni ji-Balyogi-Tarun Muni ji and the 16 years old great penancer Shri Manoj Muni ji, who observed a 35 days fast immediately after his initiation, need a special mention here. The contributions received during their initiation, ceremony have reduced the financial burden of this publication. Besides this many other charitable devotees of Gurudev Shri have contributed open heart. We express our thanks to them all. - Mahendra Kumar Jain (President) jainuniversity.org Amar Muni - Tirthankar Charitra - Surana # 5 www.jainuniversity.org
