TREASURES OF JAINISM
Authors' note
Mr Virchand Gandhi participated in the Parliament of World Religions as the representative of Jains. There is no exaggeration to declare that he was the first Jain scholar who introduced this religion of non violence to the world. Though atheistic, yet most spiritual the principles of Jainism are not so simple to explain to the non Jains especially to those from West, who are taught total dependence on God right from birth. It is not possible to give all the details he spoke and wrote on Jainism but we have tried to give essence of his lucid and scholarly work on various aspects of Jainism.
