Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : To the general public Jainism is little more than a mere name, and even students of the Religions of India have often failed to give it the attention it well may claim. True, out of India's 315 millions less than one million and a quarter (1,248,162) to-day profess the Jaina faith, and the last twenty years have witnessed a steady decrease in the number of its adherents; but, its numerical weakness notwithstanding, Jainism can make its own distinct appeal for a more informed acquaintance with its special tenets. In that sixth century before Christ which in so many countries witnessed an earnest aspiration after higher truths and nobler lives, the country of Bihar was strangely agitated by the teachings of not a few bold reformers, men then styled heretics. Mahavira, Buddha, Gosala, Jamali, all founded sects of their own, and others there were who vied with these either in propounding rival heresies or in establishing separate monastic organizations. Yet of all these ancient Orders one only has survived in India down to the present day, and that one is the Jainism founded whether by Mahavira himself or by his reputed master Parsvanatha. About The Author : Sinclair Stevenson ( 1875-1957). She sometime scholar of Somerville Colllege, Oxford. These notes on Jainism have been compiled mainly from information supplied to me by Gujarati speaking Jaina, so it has seemed advisable to use the Gujarati forms of their technical terms.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : The subject-matter of the book is distributed in three parts. The first deals with the epochs in a Brahman's life: birth, investiture with the sacred thread, betrothal, marriage, and death, together with the beliefs, practices, and ceremonies connected with the main periods of his career, such as rites performed in infancy, the importance of a son, funeral offerings, the punishments in future existences of sins committed in this life, the widow's lot, and other matters. The second part is concerned with times and seasons in so far as they are connected with the ritual of the Brahman's day, of the days of the week, the month, and the year ; and with occasional rites and observances associated with the building of houses, the digging of wells, and with pilgrimages, sacred hills and rivers. The last part describes the worship of the two great gods Visnu and Siva, together with the ceremonies performed in their temples. It also treats of the practices of ascetics. The book, concluding with a comparison of the outlook of Hinduism and Christianity, discusses the appeal which the latter makes to the increasing number of thinking men among the Twice-born as a substitute for a system which no longer satisfies their religious cravings.

First edition of the collection of Frances Stevenson's diaries. Octavo, original navy blue cloth, illustrated with photographs. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the verso of the half title page, "For dear Bob and Wanda with love and every good wish for the future from Frances Lloyd-George - August 1971." Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Craig Dodd. This book of personal diaries is a monument to David Lloyd George's existence in love and politics, collected from the pen of the woman who was his devoted mistress, confidential secretary, and second wife. Through the careful archiving of information, from her assistance on Lloyd George's speeches to her accompaniment on his foreign missions, Frances Stevenson created this uniquely valuable record that has changed the historical landscape for the United Kingdom's most elusive twentieth-century statesman.
