Lanham, Maryland: Scarecrow Press, 2004. 287 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H) - glazed pictorial boards. Map. "(P)rovides information on the two main sectarian traditions of Jainism, the Svetambaras and Digambaras, from their early history to the present. It also includes information on various reform movements within these two traditions, such as the Sthanakavasi, Svetambara Terapanthis, Digambara Terapanthis, and the followers of Taran Svami, Srimad Rajancandra, and Kanji Svami. The dictionary section contains more than 450 individual entries, with technical terms, mendicant lineages, mendicant and lay practices and vows, biographies of influential mendicant leaders and scholars in the mendicant and lay communities, as well as entries on various Tirthankaras, ancillary deities, and pilgrimage sites. An introduction describes the basic teachings of Jainism, the history of the mendicant community in India, and the growth of the lay community in India and during the Diaspora. Along with a chronology, there is a listing of the normative scriptural texts in the Svetambara and Digambara traditions; an appendix with information on the twenty-four Tirthankaras, the Jain festival calendar, the fourteen stages of spiritual progress (gunasthanas), and the vows of restraint for a layperson (pratimas); and an extensive bibliography of scholarly works and texts in translation, arranged by subject. This comprehensive dictionary will be a valuable reference for anyone interested in South Asian religions or the study of nonviolence and conflict resolution." . Hard Cover.
