DESCRIPTION
The divine always had an attraction for and invoked a feeling of wonderment in men of all times and places. All what man aspires for and fails to understand he attributes to divinity. Thus divinity has been described in as many ways as man could think of. As the concept divinity is largely based on individual transcendental experiences and is beyond normal human perception it is almost impossible to envelope it in words. But man has continued to do so since time immemorial. What we know as religions and philosophies are the outcome of the long history of pondering and contemplation and debates over what is divine and divinity. Dr. Kothari Ajay Kumar Pukharaj chose to discuss the concept of divinity in Jainism in his doctoral thesis. It is a commendable effort and all the more interesting because before discussing the concept of divinity in Jainism the author explores the same in other popular religions and provides a sort of comparative study.
