Publisher's Note
Present title Anekantavāda is a compilation of the papers presented at the National Seminar on Anekāntavāda, organised by Navin Institute of Self-development, Ahmedabad, in 1993. It also contains some of the selected essays on Anekantavāda out of different essays received for the Essay competition on Anekāntavāda organised by the same institution.
We are very thankful to Shri Navinbhai Shah, Managing Trustee, Navin Institute of Self-development, Ahmedabad, who not only entrusted this work to us for publication but also wrote its first introductory part 'Multi-dimensional Reflections on Anekantavāda! He provided us all the facilities required for its publication. His observation about Anekantavāda and its application dealt in Part I, are his own. Some times, in his observation, he looks different to the traditional meaning of Anekāntavāda but even he has beautifully discussed its application part.
While editing the papers/essays, keeping in view the size of the book, some of the essays have been omitted and some cut short without disturbing their main theme. Its Gujarati and Marathi part is being published from Navin Institute of Self-development.
We are very thankful to both the editors of the volume - Dr. Sagarmal Jain, Director Emeritus and Dr. Shriprakash Pandey, Lecturer in Jainology at Vidyāpītha, for its thorough editing. Dr. Pandey has not only edited the book but he has seen it through the press also.
We are thankful to Dr. Bhagchandra Jain Bhaskar, Professor
