About the Book
The Jains of India have long been deeply preoccupied with the concept of death, and their philosophy surrounding it is integral to their understanding of life itself. This book delves into the Jain view of death, emphasizing its spiritual significance and the community's caution against taking life lightly. While the Jains revere death as a natural part of existence, they strongly oppose suicide, seeing it as an emotional and violent act (raga and himsa) that is a spiritual crime.
The book discusses how suicide is viewed as an act of cowardice, committed by those who are immature or ignorant of the true path of spiritual growth. Through this exploration, it offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between life, death, and Jain philosophy, making it a significant contribution to the study of Jain religion and ethics.
