About the Book:
This book expands the scope of inquiry into Jaina practices of voluntary termination of life, which are associated with terms such as Santara, Sallekhana, Samadhi, Sanyasana, Aradhana, Bhaktapratyakhyana, Panchapada, Prayopagamana, and Ingini. It offers a comprehensive study of both the philosophical underpinnings and the practical aspects of death, drawing from a diverse range of texts written in Prakrit, Sanskrit, and Kannada, as well as a wealth of historical records spanning from the third century BCE to the nineteenth century CE. This volume provides invaluable insights into Jaina religious practices and their views on death, offering a deep understanding of the traditions and beliefs surrounding the end of life in the Jaina community.
