Synopsis

Life is nature. Human life is nature’s creations. From time immemorial man is comprehending the whole nature and meaning of universe. As he starts seeking to know it, it starts unfolding more of itself. Some great ascetics have been able to know its latent power but their own experience does not reach others as the words have their limitations. Expression has limited power. It works as stepping stone only.
“The Science of Life” is a book based on teachings of ascetics, who follow with mathematical accuracy their own science of eating, culture of restraints and penance, commandments of karma, precepts of non-violence, art of detachment and vision of life. It is neither a religious book nor does it teach religion. The recluses do not believe in conversion and absolute religious independence and freedom to man without any interference by any God, his Prophet or his deputy or beloved is great so the responsibility is coextensive with it. It is a scientific explanation of the nature and meaning of life and a guide as to how we should behave to draw this real nature and meaning into our own life.
It is important to understand that Jainism as a discipline or process rather than as a belief system. Mahavira is one of the known great ascetics, a highly spiritual genius of all time and the most versatile thinker we know of in ancient India. Mahavira taught the scientific explanation of nature and meaning of life and a guide as to how we should behave, how to draw the real nature and meaning into our own life. Mahavira did not teach doctrine about enlightenment, but rather taught people how to realise enlightenment themselves. His teachings have come to us in a very fine tradition of Guru and disciple. The way of life prescribed by him is fulfilling and science has found the words of ancient wisdom very valid even in this highly advanced technical age. The book brings forth many little known facts of his teachings and explains their benefits for health and well-being of humanity.
