Greatness Of Jainism.
H. H. Shri Krishna Rajendra Waidyar Bahadur G.C.S.I., G.B.E., Maharaja of Mysore.
Jainism has cultivated certain aspects of ghat life which have broadened India's religious out-look. It is not merely that Jainism has aimed at carrying Ahinsa to its logical conclusion undeterred by the practicalities of the world, it is not only that Jainism has attempted to perfect the
doctrine of the spiritual conquest of matter in its doctrine of the Jina-What is unique in Jainism among Indian Religions and philosophical systems is that it has sought Emancipation in an upward movement of the spirit towards the realm of Infinitude and Transcendence.
