________________ Book Cover I dedicate this volume to Jain religion, one of the oldest in the world, can provide a new vision to the present-day world. Its precepts and principles have contemporary relevance in a world torn by violence, strifes, intolerance, greed and fratricital wars. At the same time the values it epitomizes can lead people to live a joyous and harmonious life. The present volume by eminent Jain thinker and litterateur Dr. Kumarpal Desai is the epitome of his profound thinking and deep reading of Jain philosophy. Late Shri Shantilal Shah (Editor - Gujarat Samachar) Your inspiration ignited my creativity; Your love and warmth filled my heart; I received new insights into aspects of journalism and religion. Kumarpal Desai
