Dedicated to my father, DR M.R. Gelra
Jainism has been a guiding light for me throughout my life and I have been searching for new ways to pass on this insightful teaching to future generations that look for logical and scientific explanations.
'Jainism in 13 Chapters' fulfils this aspiration and offers deep knowledge not only in its religion and philosophy but also in its science and mathematics. Dr. M.R. Gelra, the author of this book and also my beloved father, is a prolific writer who has vast knowledge in the complexities and depth of the religion and is a true reflection of the scientific genuis of a Jain scholar. This book provides all the basics of Jainism in bite-sizes and can be related directly into the values and virtues of our everyday lives.
