The religious tradition of the Jainas, unique in many respects,
presents a fascinating array of doctrinal and social structures
that stem from the anti-vedic movements of ancient times. Drawing
extensively on primary sources, Professor Jaini provides a
comprehensive introduction to the Jaina experience. Beginning with
the Life of Mahavira the author elucidates the essentials of Jaina
cosmology and philosophy as well as of the "path of purification"
through which the soul may escape from its Karmic defilements and
attain eternal salvation. This path constitutes the integral
element within the broader frame-work of Jaina literature, lay
ritual and the socio-historical factors, which enabled Jainism to
survive and prosper to the present day. In particular, the author
has examined the cardinal doctrine of ahimsa (non-harming), both in
its impact upon Jaina religious consciousness and as a standard in
applying its sacred principles to the conduct of every day life.
