to Sulsa and the remaining 90% of what she did with what
           happened to her. By way of his splendid contemplation,
           Param Pujya Acharya Bhagwant Shree Bhuvanbhanu
           Surishwarjee Maharaja has compiled her actions, reactions
           and thoughts artistically in this book, originally written in
           Gujarati by him titled ‘Dharma Shradha’.  As the domination
           of English has tremendously increased in the last two
           decades, the need to translate such appealing literature in

           Jainism       – The ultimate path to spiritual bliss.


           The glory of Jainism has spread far and wide. This is the
           only religion in the world which believes that even the
           common man has the potential to become God.
           Sulsa’s righteousness and purity touched Lord Mahavira.
           Sulsa’s faith in Lord Mahavira was so pure and strong that
