Jainism like all other religions was a patriarchal religion. However it adopted a liberal attitude towards women in certain respects. But did it practice what it preached. The book addresses the issue by taking the case of Jainas of Gujarat. This epigraphical study is an attempt to understand Jaina women's world view as far as possible from their own sources namely women's inscriptions belonging to second millennium. It also attempts to locate modifications taking place in the patriarchal ideals during the period of study. All those interested in women's issues epigraphy and Jainism will find this book interesting and useful. 188 pp.…

Vardhaman Mahavira, the last Tirthankara of the Jainas was the contemporary of Gautama Buddha. The sects organised by the two leaders flourished for centuries together, before and after the Christian era. Although there were differences in the conduct of their monks in as much as the Jaina saints remained naked and the Buddhist monks wore cloths, there were closer resemblances between the two. "This book on Jaino-Buddhist religion places stress on the common factors on the religious life of the Jaina and Buddhists. On comparing the literature of both, the writer has come to the conclusion that coming in close association each sect has either borrowed from the other or both have derived material from common source. The work is an analytical account of Jainism and Buddhism. It is full of references. The author has exploited all the relevant material in discussing the subject. He has tried to show similarities between old Jainism and old Buddhism and prove that both were one and same at their base; that the old Buddhism was nothing but old Jainism and that Gautama Buddha must have preached the same philosophy that was preached by old Jainism. He has shown that the nature of Nirvana and its path as found in Buddhist Pali books are not different from the nature of Nirvana and its path as given in old Jaina 304 pp.…

Contents Introduction 1 Nirvana Moksa or liberation 2 Existence of the soul 3 The path of Nirvana or liberation 4 Karmas and their fruits 5 Ahimsa 6 Why Jainism and Buddhism are the same Although the Jains acknowledge one philosophy there have now been two divisions among them Digambar and Svetambar similarly the Buddhist order was established separate from the Jain order on allowing clothes to monks by Goutama Buddha even at the time of Lord Mahavira ie bfore Mahavira began to preach in his age of 42 when he became arhat and omniscient At the time of Mahavira there appears to have existed some rivalry between them which is proved from some Buddhist sutras which do not speak favourably of some Jain views; although this unfavourable description will be found to be incorrect when Jain literature is consulted properly and compared with the Buddhist sayings I give below the names of some of the sutras in which Mahavira has been spoken of as Nigantha Nataputta These are the instances of rivalry which existed between the Jains and the Buddhists at least at the time when the Buddhist literature was compiled in the first century AD in Ceylon jacket 203 pp.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The present work is substantially based on the findings of my research on the topic: Concept of Sīla in Buddhism and Jainism: A Comparative Study. Buddhism and Jainism are considered as the contemporary religions. Both the religions appreciate policy of non-violence. Sīla is an essential practice for the salvation in both the religions. Difference between these two religions in this regard is Jainism is extreme in practice while Buddhism insist on the Middle Way. The first chapter of the work introduces the background of the main theme of the research and the second discusses the concept of sīla in Buddhism. The concept of sīla in Jainism is explained in the third and sīla as a pre-condition to enlightenment is the subject matter the fourth chapter. Attention has been paid to the concept of nibbāna and kaivalya regarding this. The conclusion arrived at on the basis of foregoing analysis which forms the last chapter. It is my considered opinion that I have made a satisfactory contribution to the field through this book. …
