Synopsis The theme in this work clearly lays emphasis on the socio-religious philosophy of Lord Mahavira, the founder of Jainism. The nineteen chapters dealing with his writings, preaching and principles are significant as they lay emphasis on fundamental principles of Jainism, teachings of Lord Mahavira, the great scriptures of Jains, right attitudes in life, views for a disciple, ways and means of inner development, purity of thought and life, five types of knowledge, religious principles of Jainism, literature and art of the Jainism and other developmental principles of Jainism. With all these facts we may say that this work would be useful for teachers, scholars, students and all those who are interested in the philosophy of Lord Mahavira in Indian sub-continent and abroad.
