Welcome address Presented to
THE SAINT SHRI KANJISWAMIJI
BY
The jain community of south India
ON THE OCCASION OF HIS VISIT TO WANDIWASH ON 14-3-59
YOUR GREAT HOLINESS,
You were born in a remote place in North india and you have deigned
to come in our midst in South india. Profound in the learning of the holy
books of jain Siddhantas, you have realised that Digambara Dharma alone
is the way to salvation of Atma. You are spreading the light emanating from
your heart to all of us, the jains. Thus you are sowing the seeds of Dharma
in the soil of human hearts. No doubt you are the incarnation of God
Himself.
O THE ANGEL OF JAIN SIDDHANTAS¦
Your Holiness and your disciples have devoted your life to the cause
of spreading Dharma and are living for the sake of ennobling the heart of
the mass. You are dispelling the darkness of ignorance of our community just
as the morning sun casts away the darkness from the face of the earth.
O THE LIGHT OF DIGAMBARAS,
The many acts of bountis you have done for the cause of spreading
jainism fill us with gratitude and wonder.
O THE APOSTLE OF NIRVANA,
We have great pleasure in extending you a warm welcome in our
midst O the great Holy saint? You are heartily welcomed once again and
requested to grant us your paternal and gracious blessings.
WANDIWASH We beg to remain,
14-3-59 Your most faithful sons,
THE JAINS OF SOUTH INDIA.
