SVARUPA SAMBODHANA: VISION OF THE SELF

Dear friends,
Jaya Jinendra

SVARUPA SAMBODHANA: VISION OF THE SELF (Sanskrit - English)
Original Text in Sanskrit
By Acarya Akalanka
Translation and Introduction in English by D K Goyal
2005     225 x 140 mm     118 pp
81 7027 244 0     Hardcover     Rs. 200

Acarya Akalanka needs no introduction to the scholar of Nyayashastra. His contribution to Jain Nyaya is so vast, that Jain Nyaya is often referred to as Akalanka Nyaya.

Essentially, this book is to help the reader understand and cleanse the soul's disposition or psychic state in order to attain liberation.

Typical of Akalanka, this is a compact work in classical Sanskrit comprising of 25 shlokas, it systematically examines the scientific basis for and special attributes of the self; and the ways and means of realizing the true nature of the self.

A marvellous work! Compulsory reading for all those interested in freeing themselves from the cycle of rebirths.
