________________ Easily comprehensible and logical presentation There is a tradition in Jainism of writing commentary on epic scriptural texts for explaining and interpreting the sutras in contemporary context. Commentary on Samayasāra, one of the brilliant expositions on soul, has been written by many scholars but no one has attempted it in scientific context. Dr Paras Mal Agrawal has splendidly fulfilled this need and has tried to explain the Gathas in an easily comprehensible simple scientific manner for appreciation of their deep meaning. The question-answer style of addressing the doubts is very impressive and helps in understanding the intricacies of the intended meaning. I have closely known Dr Agrawal for the last many years in various capacities, as a scholar, as a fellow worker and as an ardent householder, and admire his deep understanding of Jain philosophy. The richness of his profound knowledge is reflected in this commendable commentary, which I am sure, will greatly benefit the readers interested in knowing about science of soul and those seeking peace and happiness in life through spiritual path. Dr. Narayan Lal Kachhara Ex-Principal, Motilal Nehru Regional Engineering College, Allahabad Author of Scientific Exploration of Jainology Hats off! Touched by the wonderful work I wish to congratulate Prof. Agrawal for the tremendous and most precious work he has done. Samayasāra contains four hundred and fifteen verses. The deep sense of these verses is not easy to understand. In this work, Dr. Agrawal has tried to explain the meaning in simple English with a minimum number of technical words. Thus the book will be very much helpful and valuable to the English knowing lay persons. Many of my doubts have also become clear after I had a thorough reading of the manuscript. I extend my heartiest greetings for the work he has done. Dr. L. C. Jain Ex. Professor of Physics Author of Jain Yoga Darpan, Jabalpur MP
