The ancentral origin of Sri Prakashchand Tarachand Jain can be traced back to Raja Vrushabhsen Rathod, a Kshatriya, who hailed from 'Sambharlek' province which lies between Jaipur and Ajmeer, Rajasthan. Raja Vrushabasen Rathod was blessed by Acharya Dhaneshwar Sureeshwarji in the Samvat 731, with initiation into the wisdom of Jainism and made him a 'Shravaka'. In thesame family, as I know Shri Prakashchand Tarachand Jain, was born as the illustrious son of Sri Tarachandji and Smt. Sugadhibai, in Surpur, of Yadgiri district.

This book of Sri Jain, Unique Powerful Rudraksha and Talismic Yantras' is highly useful to aspirants. The Appendix Gurukrupa, chart showing the usage of Rudraksha and Gems' and Queries and answers' provided in the end portion of the book have enhanced the value of the book further more. This prestigious son of Sri Tarachand Jain, who has rendered valuable service to the society, in various fields, has always preferred to remain aloof from propaganda and popularity.

The life and works of Sri prakashchand Tarachand Jain are indeed ideal and worthy of emulation.

Shri Prakashachand Jain offered to me the manuscript of his book. Unique Powerful Rudraksa and miraculous yantra with request to write a preface. Shri Prakashchanda, despite being a merachant by profession is much inclined to and interested in literature and research. He is an expert water diviner also. He has earned great reputation silently serving the people, by devoting every Sunday himself to water – divining activity and indicating the ground water sources with certainty.

Though not great in size this book of his is result of his deep study of various and many authentic treatises. He has taken pains to vividly present minute details regarding the origin, sizes, shapes, Varieties, of Rudraksha, wearing it, method of selecting different types of Rudrasksha based on the birth star according to astrology etc. his way of presentation is simple and is easy understanding and will prove useful to common people. This effort of his indeed is Praiseworthy.

Once again, stating that this book of great practical help to all, I express only wish and hope that many works supplementing spiritual sadhana may come out of his pen, in future.
