AUSPICIOUS MESSAGE
Dr. Mahaveer Raj Gelra is a respectful personality of the Jain Samaj. He is a wonderful example of reconciliation of philosophy and science.
He has not only made an intensive study of Agams, he has also done the praiseworthy effort of authoritatively presenting them in the language of science.
Earlier his books on the above subject have been published. In these the elaborate thinking of Jain philosophy has been weighed in the scales of science and its authenticity has been proved.
By authoring this book in English he has scientifically presented and defined Jain philosophy. It will help the Jain community to easily understand the complexities of Jain philosophy and will reverentially understand the authenticity of Jain philosophy.
A lot has been written on Jain philosophy in the language of deep devotion and philosophy. But writing it by encompassing it within scientific language is the need of the hour. The language of science is easily understood. Shri Gelraji has indeed done a commendable job by writing the present book.
I was introduced to Shri Gelraji by my sister Sadhvi Dr. Vidyut Prabha. It gives a great joy to encounter his scholarship and simplicity.
I wish that this book 'Jainism in 13 chapters' containing his deep scholarship becomes a lighthouse for thousands of people and Shri Gelraji may keep bringing out many books like the present one.
