5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable collection of photographs, December 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Jainism: A Pictorial Guide to the Religion of Non-Violence (Hardcover)

Written by Kurt Titze, a German, this book includes a large number of dramatic photographs taken by the author. He has visited quite of few of the remote Jain pilgrimage sites that most Jains will not have a chance to visit. It contains very well researched description of all the sites covered.

This is quite an unusual book. Strongly recommended for personal Jain libraries, although it is a fairly expensive book.

Interwoven with the articles on Jain pilgrimage centers, the basic principles of Jainism, specially non-violence, are highlighted.

This review is from: Jainism: A Pictorial Guide to the Religion of Non-Violence (Hardcover)

I agree with the author that Mahavira is the eldest son of not only India but of the Universe. Ahimsa - Dyanamic Non-Violence is the only answer for universal brotherhood. the Ahimsa the anekantwad & the aparigrah - the Jain trinity will save the planet & protect it from pollution.
