TUNES OF INSPIRATION
Many scientific principles lie hidden in ancient Jain philosophical treatises. In modern times, it is very necessary to represent these principles with the help of modern mathematics and scientific instruments before the world.
Of course, this work is extremely difficult and it could not be done by a single person. Yet, in this book I venture to represent some scientific principles that had been concluded from oriental Jain canonical scriptures during my study and research.
Since I am a Jain Muni, there are many limitations regarding practical work. I have not tested these principles practically. I arrived at such conclusions on the basis of analysis of natural phenomena and social experiences. So it is necessary for the readers to notice that the research papers presented in this book are only theoretical.
The articles given in English section namely (1) Limitations of Theory of Special Relativity According to Jainology (2) Light: Waves or Particles? (3) Intensity of Light (4) New Concepts About Doppler's Effect and (5) New Concepts About Interference of Light, are special research papers for the presentation in the annual meeting of Indian Science Congress Association (Calcutta). But unfortunately, according to the rules of ISCA, they could not be presented. In Gujarati section articles of Shri Ashok Kumar Datta and their analysis may probably open the doors to new research works.
In certain places especially in Gujarati and Hindi sections repetition of some matter may be found. But every article being an independent article and being published or to be published in different magazines at different times, repetition of that matter was unvoilable.
Direct blessings of my revered Gurudev His Holiness Acharya Shrivijay Suryodayasuriji Maharaj and astral blessings of my 7th ancestral Gurudev His Holiness Shasansamrat Acharya Shrivijay Nemisuriji Maharaj and inspiration and guidance from His Holiness Pamnyas Shri Sheelchandravijayji Maharaj are important factors in my research articles.
