Of course, this work is extremely difficult and it could not be done by a single person. Yet in this book I venture to represent some scientific principles that had been concluded from oriental Jain canonical scriptures during my study and research.
Since I am a Jain Muni, there are many limitations regarding practical work. I have not tested these principles practically. I arrived at such conclusions on the basis of analysis of natural phenomena and social experiences. So it is necessary for the readers to notice that the research papers presented in this book are only theoretical.
The articles given in the book namely: (1) Limitations of the Theory of Special Relativity According to Jainology, (2) Light: Waves or Particles?, (3) Intensity of Light, (4) New Concepts about Doppler's Effect and (5) New Concepts about Interference of Light, are special research papers for the presentation in the annual meeting of Indian Science Congress Association (Calcutta) at Baroda. But unfortunately, according to the rules of ISCA and since the research papers are only theoretical, they could not be presented. Articles regarding the extra-sensory perception of Shri Ashok Kumar Dutt and their analysis may probably open the doors to new research works.
In certain places repetition of some matter may be found. But every article being an independent article and being published or to be published in different magazines at different times, repetition of that matter was unavoidable.
Direct blessings of my reverehd Gurudeva His Holiness Acharya Shrivijay Suryodayasuriji Maharaj and astral blessings of my 7th ancestral Gurudeva His Holiness Shasan Samrat Acharya Shrivijaya Nemisuriji Maharaj and inspiration and guidance from His Holiness Acharya Shrivijaya Sheelachandrasuriji Maharaj are important factors in my research articles.
A learned scholar and Atmasadhaka (Soul-seeker) Muni Shri Bhuvanachandraji, though being physically far far away from me, he has removed all my frustrations and gave me important suggestions to make this book flawless, free from mistakes and credible in scientific world. I have possibly incorporated them here.
Moreover, I will never forget Prof. H. F. Shah (Head, Dept. of Physics. St.
