Ep-36: Ms. Charlotte Krauseaka (Subhadra Devi) A German devotee
As a curious student, I began taking keen interest in Indian religions. I hear the voice of my conscience telling me that of all the religions, the one shown by Shri Mahavir Swami is the best. I had heard that Jain religion is a religion which alone is capable of alleviating the suffering of all living beings. My belief in it became stronger and I arrived in India to study Jain philosophy. I was convinced that Mahavirswami's religion was not merely confined to scriptures or to its principles, but it manifested itself in its rituals and thought and action too. It shows the right path to those who seek mental peace and satisfaction. The essence of Jain religion is to cause minimum suffering to others and to think of others' welfare to the maximum possible extent. I believe that the chief article of faith of this religions is to give up personal comforts and happiness and to think of others and this in itself is the hallmark of its superiority over other religions. This is what made me embrace Jain religion.
