Report on the thesis 'जैन साधना पद्धति में ध्यान योग' submitted by Jain Sadhvi Priyadarshanaji for the degree of Ph. D. of the University of Poona, Pune.
Sadhvi Priyadarshanaji has submitted the thesis of FTTH hasta H A TH. At the ontset I wish to say that the thesis is an authentic document on Dhyana. The candidate deals with the topic of dhyana in an exhaustive manner. All the aspects of Dhyana have been duly covered, in the beginning the candidate has surveyed the literature on Dhyana. The survey shows her knowledge of sources from where the material can be drawn in the first chapter some non - Jain concepts of Dhyana have been delineated, The importance of Dhyana in Jain Sadhana, the nature of Dhyana, the types of Dhyana, the effects of Dhyana have been discussed at length
The whole thesis has been systematically presented. Candidate's expression in Hindi is lucid. In the end the candidate has explained the technical terms. the explanation is very useful and shows her understanding of the matter.
I, there fore, recommend that the candidate may be awarded the degree of Ph. D. The theme is very much suitable for publication.
