TULSI-PRANA with firendly eyes). The whole world is the manifestation of the God and hence I pay my humble reverence to it.
In Jaina chronical work we find a detailed description of sthavarka Jiva and sravakacara method of living. Jainacarya stated that our national social and personal life should be planned in such a way so as to minimise the disturbance in the life of their livings.
