• Professor Parikh's lucidity, clarity, and simplicity of language connect issues of ecology and global interdependence with logic and reasoning as reflected in Jain Dharma. Dr. Parikh puts Jain Dharma among the world religions of this 21" century with its scientific and spiritual approaches for solutions.
Gurudev Chitrabhanu
A sumptuous 224 page exploration of an ancient and relatively little known faith that is surprisingly relevant for the 21st Century.
Ron Csillag, Toronto Star
• I have read many books on Jainism and find that most books have not succeeded in bringing to the subject the high degree of readability, as also the extraordinarily attractive and reader friendly structure that Dr. Parikh has achieved in Jainism and the New Spirituality.
Abhay Firodia, Chairman, Force Motors, Pune, India • My study of Jainism was enhanced profoundly by this marvelously
clear and highly readable book. Dr. Parikh successfully links the core principles of Jainism with the 21st century attempts to rediscover spirituality at a time of unparalleled violence and moral confusion. This fascinating and compelling book will be of great value not only to those who were born outside the Jain tradition but also to the Jains who want clear understanding of Jain Dharma, its theory, practice, and relevance to the modern times.
ProfessorGary Francione, Rutgers University Dr. Parikh needs to be congratulated for this wonderful and concise book on Jainism for both Jains and non-Jains. He must be commended for bringing the essence of new spirituality for the rest of the world.
