Description

This work is the English ttranslation of Muni Nyayavijayaji, an ideal Jain Monk's original Gujarati work 'Jaina Darsana' which has run into twelve editons. No one has ever explained the Jaina concepts of nine 'reals', six substance causations, spiritual attitude, spiritualness, non-violence, austerity, God, Karma, non-abslutism, relativity of 'commandements', as interestingly and lucidly as Nyayavijayaji has done.
