Book Synopsis Ascetics and Kings in a Jain Ritual Culture by : Lawrence A. Babb
Book excerpt: Jainism is aside from Buddhism, the only surviving example of India`s ancient non-Vedic religious traditions celebrated for its systematic practice of non-violence and for the rigor of the asceticism it promotes. It sheds light on a little known religious tradition and demonstrates that divine absence.
