36 About the Book
Present book is written with a basic conviction that Acharya Mahapragya is a Super Intelligent human
whose discourses and wwwritings are based on the
knowledge imparted by Lord Mahavira who was a Super Human Intelligence. Acharya Mahapragya is a living
encyclopaedia of Jain E teachings. In addition,
he holds command on Ancient Indian Philosophy, Modern Psychology and contemporary Scientific Principles. He has incessantly inculcated science into his
literature to make it compreXhensible to even those who
examine the religion critically.
He feels that the rapid strides made by science are irretrievable and it is impossible to reverse this trend. The ills and perils of this hectic growth have now become a full blown predicament and science needs to be amalgamated with the religious thoughts to get rid of its evils. Religion yearns for an eternal soul and science for an undying body, so why not have the best of both - let us endeavour to attain a perpetual soul in conscious mind and healthy body!
