Publisher's Note
The advancement of Science & Technology has given us all the amenities and comforts of life, but unfortunately, it has shaken our mutual faith, moral and religious value. We have more knowledge and faith in atomic structure and power than the values needed for meaningful and peaceful life. Similarly, fanaticism and religious intolerance has damaged the whole social structure as well as human values.
In this age of transition, the preachings of Lord Mahavira has become more relevant. Particularly, when the whole world is celebrating Bhagavan Mahaviru's 2600 Birth Anniversary, basic principles of Lord Mahavira viz. non-violence, nonpossessiveness and non-absolutism can be observed as the solution of the world problem. These three tenets of collectively observed cun certainty establish peace and harmony in the world.
The present title "Peace, Religious Harmony and Solution of world problems from Jaina Perspective" authored by Dr. Sagarmal Jain elaborately discusses the concept of peace, nonviolence, religious harmony alongwith world problem and its remedy.
We are thankful to Dr. Jain who very kindly entrusted this work to Vidyapeeths for publication.
Our thanks are also due to Dr. S.P. Pandey and Dr. Vijay Kumur; Lecturers at Parshwanath Vidyapeeth who extended their all help in bringing out this title.
We hope that this book will be able to define the concept of peace, religious tolerance and harmony in its new context and give solution to the word problems. We are also thankful to Mahavir Press for beautifully printing this book.
