sketch of Bhagwan Mahavira and a few excerpts from his teachings have also been appended. For further and fuller information, the reader is advised to refer to works like
1. Outlines of Jainism by J. L. Jaini, 2. The Religion of Ahimsa by Prof. A. Chakra
varti, 3. Jainism by Herbert Warren, 4. An Introduction to Jainism by A. B. Lathe, 5. Religion of Tirthankaras by K, P. Jain, 6. Religion and Culture of the Jains by Dr.
Jyoti Prasad Jain ( 3rd ed., 1981, Bhartiya
Jnanapith, New Delhi ). The credit of inspiring the production of this book goes to my friend Shri Jamnalal Jain, a reputed Sarvodaya thinker and writer who has been good to undertake its publication also. I am really very grateful to him.
I hope, the book will arouse the curiosity of its readers to know more about Jainism and take sincere and active interest in its wholesome teachings.
