Page 9 - Fait Personified
P. 9
· Sulsa was a perfect combination of a model housewife
and a loyal devotee of Lord Mahavira.
· Sulsa was an extra-ordinary personality, a gleaming
star in the sky of Jinshasana.
· Above all, Sulsa – a common woman was held in
high esteem by Lord Mahavira.
This book is basically Sulsa’s life, but it is titled, “FAITH
PERSONIFIED”.
What is so special about Sulsa’s faith?
Sulsa’s faith was branded, stamped, sealed and authenticated
by Lord Mahavira. Out of his vast family of Sadhu, Sadhvi,
Shravaka and Shravika. Sulsa was the only fortunate one to
have received Lord Mahavira’s message - ‘Dharmalabha’
through Ambad, a Sanyasi-cum-Traveller. Though this is like
comparing a pauper with a prince, still imagine how would
we feel if the P.M. or any other renowned celebrity sent
us a ‘Hi’ on “Whats App”?? We would be on cloud nine
and start boasting about this. Sulsa received ‘Dharmalabha’
from the Supreme authority having command and compassion
for the creatures of the three worlds. What more credentials
are required to judge her?
Her faith in HIM was unflinching.
This book constitutes not only Sulsa’s life incidents but her
mental state and thought process, her views and beliefs, too.
It is said, “Life is only 10% of what happens to you and
the remaining 90% is what you do with what happens to
you”. Similarly, this book is only 10% of what happened
