Prof. Dr. Narendra Bhandari
I bow to the Enlightened souls (Arihants and Siddhas)
Who realized true knowledge of kevaljnan and showed the path to attain it,
I bow to the Jain sadhus and sadhvis (Acharyas and Upadhyayas),
Who carried the flame of Jainism from the Enlightened ones to me,
without which I would have lived and died in ignorance"
I bow to the thinkers, philosophers and scientists,
Who by formulation and experimentation revealed the secrets of nature
I bow to one and all in this universe,
Who sustain me so that I understand and pursue the true path of Enlightenment.
