Dear friends
Jaya Jinendra
Comics are a great way to retell our ancient classics! Jain literature is studded with gems of classic storytelling aligned with teleological purpose. Jain Acaryas have written on various subjects such as mythology, history, folktale and legends in Prakrit, Sanskrit, Apabhramsha, Kanadi, Hindi, Dhundhari, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil and in many dialects.
Jain Comics blend commentary, dialogue and illustration to convey to the masses and those who are not masters of Prakrit, Sanskrit and Apabhramsha, the doctrine of Jainism, stories as told in the Agamas, biographies of the 63 great men, Trisasthishalakapurusa and other legends, folktales and fables in beautifully illustrated comic book format.
A unique feature of these comics is that back cover of each comic book features a beautiful painting explaining a certain aspect of the Jain Doctrine.
These comic books serve the dual purpose of educating as well as entertaining the reader.
These comics are available in English and also in Hindi. They are a doorway to the wonderful world of Jain literature.
