Jaina Tattvavidya

by Bhartiya Jnanapith

The light of the unique jewels of knowledge from the vast ocean of Tirthankara’s illuminating teachings, as embodied in the Jaina scriptural texts Prathmanuyoga, Karananuyoga, Charananuyoga and Dravyanuyoga, was crystallized by Maghanandiyogindra in the form of two hundred Sanskrit aphorisms. The grasp of the learned Jaina scholar and monk Muni Pramanasagar ji of the essence of these eternally significant aphorisms is indeed comprehensive.

The present volume Jaina Tattva-vidya is an eloquent testimony of this. It reflects the author’s intense scholarship, profound knowledge, creative thinking and above all his sadhana in the nirgrantha tradition of Jaina asceticism. Incorporation of the universal aspects of Jaina philosophical doctrines has given this work the dimensions of a virtual encyclopaedia of the Jaina religion.
Inclusion of numerous drawings, maps, tables and appendixes has further enhanced its authenticity and usefulness.
