Medical science has thorough knowledge of all parts of body, their function, position, utility etc. They are also aware of many diseases or disorders which occur in the body and are curing them successfully. But this short article clearly indicates that they have to travel a long distance to reach the enormous knowledge of Jain acharyas. Jain scriptures' spirituality is totally beyond the reach of science, while materialistic views are just partially accepted or proven by them. These scriptures of olden times can be more helpful for them in discovering many new facts for the welfare of mankind. Thus science must utilize this store house of knowledge
as its guide. References:_1. Bhagwati Aradhana, Vijayodaya commentary, pg. 4-5. 2. Jainendra Siddhant Kosha, Part 3, pg. 204. 3.Bhagwati Aradhana, gatha 998, pg. 542. 4. Ibid, gatha 1006, pg. 544. 5.
