Jainism : The Eternal and Universal path for Enlightenment
general discussion on Jain concepts in light of modern scientific knowledge: Modern Physics (Chapter 7), Cosmology (Chapter 8), Combination Chemistry (Chapter 9) and Biology (Chapter 10).
I have borrowed material from various sources and web sites and do not claim any thing original. Some times the material has been used without verifying their original source and if there is any material which is not authentic, I stand to be excused. Some Hindi words (mentioned in italics) have been retained as they are, since there are no equivalent words in English which can convey the same perception. Translation of some words in to English would have made this book unreadable and difficult to comprehend. Therefore knowledge of both English and Hindi is required to fully appreciate the implied meaning.
I hope that the book will become a bridge in our understanding of Jainism in context of science and provide a philosophical basis, which will be useful for an individual as well as the society and, in howsoever small a measure, make Jainism relevant to the modern way of life.
