Jainism : Through Science Moreover, I will never forget Prof. Hasmukhbhai F. Shah (Head of Physics Dept., St. Xavier's College, Ahmedabad-9) who inspired me and gave enough co-operation in writing these articles. Whenever the necessity of exposition and clarification of concepts of modern physics and mathematical derivation arose, he explained them to me.
Also, I especially remember Prof. Vasantbhai M. Doshi, who examined the English translation of the articles and rearranged them and Prof. Ayer (St. Xarier's College, A'bad-9) who did proof reading of English section and corrected it
Dr P.C. Vaidya, a great mathematician not only of Gujarat but also of India who is even at the age of 75 years, today engaged in research of maths, accepted without any hesitation to write the preface. Really, a research scholar throughout his life, he examined, 7 years ago, my Gujarati articles 'Limitations of Theory of Special Relativity According to Jainology' and 'Light: Waves or Particles ?'. Eventhough he was not able to read the manuscript, with the help of a reader, he read it and wrote an introduction to this book. His thanks cannot be expressed in words.
I also appreciate Prof. V.B. Gohel (Head of Physics Dept., Guj. Uni. Ahmedabad) for his correction of the Gujarati article 'Light: Waves or Particles ?'.
I offer my blessings to Dr Pradipkumar K. Shah and Smt. Darshanaben P. Shah (now in U.S.A.), who read my articles published in Navneet-Samarpana, a Gujarati magazine, inspired me and wrote the English introduction.
