CANADIAN STUDIES IN JAINISM Bhuvanendra Kumar
IN JAINISM
Dr. Bhuvi
This anthology is *CANADIAN STUDIES
a rich collection of Jain papers which originated in Canada, and each one throws light on different aspects of Jain religion from early to medieval and recent times. It consists of three sections - aspects of Early Jainism, Medieval History of Jaina India and Recent Jain Tradition. Canadian Studies in Jainism is a welcome and significant book accessible for the study of an often unknowing Jain tradition, and it might spur further discussion about this religion, which claims its pre-Aryan origin in ancient
India and its renaissance in sixth B.C.E. under Lord Mahavira, before Buddhism. Indeed, the book has a place in the study of world religions.
