Testimonials Dr. Radhakrishanan Vice president of India and one of the her foremost philosophers and savants In the death of Acharya Shanti Sagar Maharaj, India has lost a great man, a great Tapasvi and a great Rishi. In his constant search for truth and spiritual advancement, he imposed hardships on himself and bore them with the at most detachment. It is saints like him who, through their sacrifices, sustain the world. Mr. Chester Bowles Ambassador of the United States of America in India Spiritual Leadership is the world's great need today, as it has been through the ages. In my country, as in India, this is a need people recognize in their hearts. We may seem at times to be primarily concerned with material things, but under the surface lies a deep respect and awe of those who dedicate themselves to selfless and saintly living. As the representative in India of the government and people of the United States, therefore, it is with reverence and humility that I join with those who pay tribute in this issue of the "Jain Gazatte" to the great saint Acharya Shri Shanti Sagar Maharaj.
