Misinterpretations of Jain Karma Philosophy | Pravin Shah Jain Education College/JNF Jain karma philosophy is inherently spiritual in nature; however, this aspect of Jain thought is misconstrued in a dogmatic fashion.

This presentation reviews the practical aspect of Karma philosophy and will provide proper role and purpose of Karma philosophy in our efforts to do good work.
