Message by His Holiness Prof. Bhiku Satyapal

'Jataka Kavya Mala' written by Prof.Lallan Prasad, a Retd. Professor of the University of Delhi, is worth reading for the academicians as well as the common readers. This is a poetry of par excellence. Reading all 44 Jataka stories a reader sees social, political, economic, cultural and religious wisdom of ancient India very live. Once one starts reciting poetry he is intuitively driven to finish the last page of 'Jataka Kavya Mala' of Pro. Lallan Prasad.
This is an innovative work of the poet. One should emulate his style of bringing such a good work for common Hindi readers. This book will help Dhamma Pracharakas among the Hindi Readers to take the Words of Tathagata to the common people.
I am feeling it as a great merit to recommend 'Jataka Kavya Mala' for the lovers of Hindi in India and
Abroad.
Maythe triple Gem bless all.

Prof. B. Satyapal Mahathera
