stored information. The mechanism of the various aspects (nature (Prakrti), duration (Sthiti), fruition (Anubhāga), etc.) of bonding and of the various types of transference of Karma particles is not understood. However, the phenomena of bonding and transference of Karma, which involve storage and modification of information, seem to be similar to the working of the memory of computer, the modifications of the information retained by us and the techniques of genetic engineering. CONCLUSIONS
It is evident from the above discussion that the Jain theory of Karma conforms to the fundamental concepts of modern science. A detailed scientific study of Karma theory and further researches in the field of biology are expected to reveal many more important similarities between the theory of Karma and scientific knowledge.
I am greatly indebted to my teachers of Jain religion. Pandit Kailash Chandra ji Jain Siddhāntācārya and Pandit Daya Chandra ji Jain Shastri of Ujjain. I also express my deepest gratitude to Pandit Phool Chandra ji Jain Siddhāntācārya for a number of valuable and highly illuminating discussions.

Doctrine of Karma *Almost all religions admit that gain or loss, pleasure and pain is the result of Karmas but Jainism has scientifically indicated how and why Karmic matter is attracted and bounded with soul. How Karmas can be stopped and destroyed ? Bhagavān Mahāvīra Aura Unakā Tattva Darśana, p. 882
*Combination of Karmic matter with Jiva is due to Yoga. Yoga is the action of mind, speech and body. The opportunity for combination is created by Bhāvas or the affective states and such affective states are due to desire, aversion and perverse cognition--Pañcāstikāyas āra, 148.
