M S Abhinandan, 38,
is a Jain by birth an engineer by education and
copywriter by profession.
A Journey through Jainism begins at
a point in time wrapped in legends. Crossing the
terrain marked by footprints of wandering monks,
we pass the tree under which a prince
experienced the true nature of self. It leads us
to a whole new way of understanding the life we
lead and the world we live in. The eminent among
those who choose this path bring new insights
and understanding to the arts and sciences in
ancient India. Further, one comes across a
unique way of worshipping in ornate temples and
equally unique object of worship in the grand
idols. Our journey ends among a community, a
very small part of the country’s population,
that keeps the flame of a religion burning
brightly as ever. The religion of the Jains.
