Dr. S. Rani Jain, an erudite scholar and practitioner of Jainism, has written two chapters of this book. One is on “Yoga and meditation.” This chapter gives the theory as well as her personal practice of yoga and meditation. Her chapter on “Art and archeology” gives information about her views on the Indus Valley civilization; she uses the expression “Indus civilization” because the culture was indeed extant in the South of India as well as other parts of the country. She also claims that she can decipher the script of this civilization within the framework of Jainism.
Prakrit Bharati Academy is indebted to both Dr. Rudi Jansma and Dr. Sneh Rani Jain for this excellent exposition of Jainism, particularly for the western audience.
