Book Review (By- Prof. M.L.Jain)
Jain religion with sound scientific foundation is 'Cosmic' in nature. Jain Thirthankars have developed basic concepts of Truth, Relativity and Quantum physices to explain the natural phenomena occurring on the Universal Scale. They also developed the concept of libration or Moksha through the process of biological evolution and Karma Vigyan. All these Scientific principles are being discussed in this book. In my view this is an unique contribution in bringing out salient Features of Jain Science which according to the authors are not different from the discoveries made by great Scientists like Einstein, Neils Bohr, De-Broglie, Peter Higgs and Darwin.
Jain Science has been the subject of research on the national and International scale for quite some time. However these research activities were limited and severely handicapped by the fact that those researches having knowledge of Jain Agams lacked knowledge in Science and science scholars had very little knowledge of Jain Scriptures and canonical literature. The present team of authors is an ideal combination of a Jain Sadhvi
