Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Modern Jainism: With Special Reference to the Svetambara, Digambara and Sthanakavasi Sects These notes on Jainism have been compiled mainly from information supplied to me by Gujarati speaking J aina, so it has seemed advisable to use the Gujarati forms of their technical terms. It would be impossible to issue this little book Without expressing my indebtedness to the Rev. G. Taylor, D. D., Principal of the Fleming Stevenson Divinity College, Ahmedabad, who placed all the resources of his valuable library at my disposal, and also to the various J aina friends who so courteously bore with my interminable questionings. I am specially grateful to a learned Jaina gentleman who read through all the ms. With me, and thereby saved me, I hope, from some of the numerous pitfalls which beset the pathway of anyone who ventures to explore an alien faith.

Download or read book The Scientific Foundations of Jainism written by K.V. Mardia and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Scientific Foundations of Jainism, Professor Mardia attempts to elucidate the point that Jainism is a science with religion. After a very brief introduction to Jainism, the author introduces the four Axioms and discusses their theoretical and applied aspects and their plausibility in a modern context. It gives Jaina logic together with present trends in scientific thinking and indicates how Jainism and modern science are related. "Written by a modern thinker and a scientist with an international reputation in research and the dissemination of scientific knowledge. The Scientific Foundation of Jainism is a valuable guide in understanding Jainism. Mardia refers to the Jain claim that one can see the whole truth of Jain science when one attains kevalajnana or infinite knowledge! His efforts to reveal to us the truth of Jain science in an understandable way provide testimony to the vast amount of knowledge he must have acquired through the diligent study of the literature on Jainism. The book includes a bibliography, glossary and an index. Wherever possible, a sharper scientific pictorial representation has been given, and very few original terms are used in the text so that the flow of the arguments is not hampered. Paul Marett in the Foreword says "Prof. Mardia's book divides naturally into three parts. First, he explains the basic ideas of the soul, karma, living beings and non-living matter, and brings these together in the Jain explanation of life and death and the universe. Next, he moves from the general to the particular, to the practice of self-conquest and the path of the individual soul towards purification. Thirdly, in two chapters that demand, and reward, close reading, he places Jain logic in its rightful position as a valid and acceptable system, and draws together the most fundamental and up-to-date aspects of modern physics with the scientific theories of the Jain writers."
