Jains Today in the World

 
Pierre Paul Amiel (Author) Sagarmal Jain (Editor) S P Pandey (Translator) Parshwanath Vidyapeeth Series

JAINS TODAY IN THE WORLD” is an exploration by the author of an ancient and relatively little-known faith that is surprisingly relevant for the XXIst century. It is a faith system that emphasizes non-violence, respect for the environment and the power of meditation - all while eschewing material possessions and encouraging the control over the self.

The Jain tradition, which enthroned the philosophy of ecological harmony and non-violence as its lodestar, flourished for centuries side-by-side with other schools of thoughts in ancient India.
