Views of Some Eminent Personalities of the World: Western and Eastern Scholars and Indian Leaders
on Jainism:
"In conclusion let me assert my conviction that Jainism is an original system quite distinct and independent from all others: and that therefore it is of great importance for the study of philosophical thought and religious life in ancient India".
Dr. Hermann Jacobi
"Jainism is of a very high order, its important teachings are based upon science. The more the scientific knowledge advances the more the Jaina teachings will be proved".
L.P. Tessitore, Italy "The Jaina Philosophy is a vast subject and is a complete system of thought, having its theories on each subject of discourse, in epistemology, psychology, logic, metaphysics, cosmology, ethics and theology. As a matter of fact volumes may be written on each of the subject so indicated."
H.Bhattācārya MA.,B.L., PhD
"Lofty ideas and high ascetic practices are found in Jainism. It is impossible to know the beginning of Jainism"
Major General Furlong "The Jainas have written great masterpieces only for the benefit of the world".
Dr.Hertal
