Jain Theism
Jainism, in our final conclusion is theism. There are thinkers and philosophers who have expressed this or such theism as ‘modified theism (Prof. W. K. Wright) or, 'towards theism' (Dr. Rādhākrishanan) or a 'variety of theism' (Dr. J. A. Yagnik), I myself feel, Jainism being theism, it may not be proper at this stage to call it a variety of theism though the scope to prove Jain theism a variety is open to any enthusiastic scholar,. In my final summing up I would like to say that if one thinks in continuation to this work, one can say Jainism has all the characteristics of theism and Jainism is theism. If Jainismi would have been theism as Christianity and Islam are, one would naturally question the scope of this thesis. Jainism, as a matter of fact has theism which is latent or hidden. What is required is to bring it out, and I hope, I have sincerely tried to do the same.
