is no birth or death henceforth. In short, it attains divinity. Thus Jainism does not deny the existence of Godhead but it does deny the Godhead in which there is, the quality of creating, sustaining, destroying and ruling other things by punishment and rewards.
The Concept of Divinity with special reference to Jainism is an excellent work of Dr. Ajay Kumar Kothari, who was my sincere and obedient student of M. A. Degree Course in Jainology during the period 1990 - 1992. At present. he is serving under me as a Guest Lecturer in a scholarly manner. I shower all my hearty blessings upon him. Mangalam Bhavatu.
Tearnestly believe that this publication will inspire the intellectuals and readers in the attainment of Divinity all the Jiva attain the Divinity.
