Jainism English 2008

In an integrated and comprehensive framework, the two volumesof Jainism: The WorldOf Conquerors deal in depth with different dimensions of one of the mostancient surviving religions of the world. The volumes open up a world of inner andouter space not to be overwhelmed by greed, malice, domination, violence andstruggle but waiting to be conquered by peaceful revolution through principledliving and respect for ideals of compassion, non-violence and equanimity. Dr.Nathubhai Shah's essay is a magnum opus encompassing a vast range ofperspectives on Jainism. The discussions on its sacred literature and modernideas on Jain phillosophy, Jain logic, science, art, architecture, temples andpilgrimages, are backed by appendices, bibliography, glossary and an inclusiveindex. The language betrays a simplicity, brevity and clarity that makes thevolumes accessible to the lay reader despite its scholastic content.
