ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I acknowledge thanks to my son Praveen and daughter-in-law Sunita Jain, Singapore, for inspiring and sponsoring the project of writing a book on Jainism, simple in language, in the light of modern science. I did so, while writing the book on 'Jainism in 13 chapters' and I hope it will be of great use to the new generations. The main features of Jainism are incorporated in short, details are avoided. My grand-daughter, Priyanka and her husband Dev Ashish Singhvi and Prof. K.C. Sogani have not only read chapters of this book but have given good suggestions which are incorporated in this book. I express my deep sense of gratitude to Prof. R.P. Bhatnagar, in spite of his old and ailing age, looked very minutely the language and grammar of each chapter of this book. My note on acknowledgements remains incomplete if I do not bow my head to Acharay Mahashraman ji for his blessings. I was fortunate in getting blessings of Acharay Tulsi ji and Acharay Mahapragya ji for my earlier publications. Acharya Maniprabhsagarsuri ji has also sent affectionate blessings. He has always encouraged me for writing on Jainism. I bow my head to all the great Acharyas. I cannot forget my wife Mrs. Gulab Gelra for the constant inspiration. With no reservations, I express my gratitude to all the scholars who have published papers on, completely the new subject of Jainism and science. My knowledge rests on them. My thanks are also due to my grand-daughter Sweta Jain, who helped me in setting the script in the form of print lay-out and designing the cover page. I acknowledge thanks to the 'CreateSpace' for publication of this book in a very short time and setting the book for UK & USA circulation through Amazon.
