Essence of World Religions
third edition we have continually updated various faiths based on feedback. By profession I am an Electrical Engineer, Jain by faith, and I teach Jainism and comparative religion to Jain youths and adults of North America during my spare time. Hence there is a possibility that I may not have compiled the description of other religions properly. Please pardon us for any mistake, oversight, understatement, or overstatement in the material. We request you to use the material objectively and provide positive suggestions so that we can easily incorporate them in future revisions. I am very thankful to Sudhir and Anita Shah of Connecticut for their help in the print layout, formatting, cover design, and other valuable suggestions. Without their help I could not have published it before the Parliament of World Religions Conference of July 2004. I am thankful to my daughter Shweta Shah, a close friend Samuel E. Wallace, Rekha Banker, Shanti Mohnot, and many others who edited various aspects of the book. Sam also provided valuable suggestions on the Western religions. Thank You. Pravin K.
