Crossing the terrain marked by footprints of wandering monks, we pass the tree under which a prince experienced the true nature of self. It leads us to a whole new way of understanding the life we lead and the world we live in. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe eminent among those who choose this path bring new insights and understanding to the arts and sciences in ancient India. Further, one comes across a unique way of worshipping in ornate temples and equally unique object of worship in the grand idols. Our journey ends among a community, a very small part of the country’s population that keeps the flame of a religion burning brightly as ever. The religion of the Jains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe First steps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough the Ages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Jaina World system\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Jina’s Way to Self- Realisation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Jaina Way of Life\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFierce Jaina asceticism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Jaina Scholars\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJainism in the Melting Pot of\u003cbr\u003e   Indian Religions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"M S Abhinandan \/ Indialog Publications \/ Paperback","offer_id":40776497103017,"sku":"22335","price":14.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/22335_8d254129-824e-4ed3-8c97-b46938929e69.jpg?v=1625498307"},{"product_id":"30361-a-concise-history-of-islam","title":"A Concise History of Islam","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Hasanuddin Ahmed\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Goodword Books\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2008\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 470\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 9788178985879\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe history of Islam is not merely the history of its rulers. It is not merely the history of wars, of conquest and defeats. Islamic culture and society down the ages has also been fashioned through invaluable contributions from its lay faithful. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuslim scholars laid the foundation stone for the corpus of the modern world's knowledge. Muslim scientists made invaluable contributions to science. Muslim astronomers calculated the earth's dimensions to an astounding degree of accuracy—at a time when the rest of the world thought our planet was flat. And Muslim spiritualists attracted people from across the globe to their religion with their zeal, courage of conviction and clarity of thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book attempts to throw light on these, the lesser known but equally invaluable contributions that have moulded the Islam of today. It chronicles the rise of the people of Islam and recounts their position at the zenith of human civilisation for over eight hundred years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author tells the history of Islam through succinct but vivid biographical sketches of innumerable Islamic jurists, astronomers, scientists, litterateurs and men of wisdom down ages from the seventh to the 15th century
