Ris?abha Deva, the Founder of Jainism is an illuminating scholarly exploration into the life and spiritual legacy of the first Tirthankara of Jainism. Written by Champat Rai Jain, this work delves deep into the ancient roots of the Jain tradition, seeking to establish the historical and theological significance of Lord Ris?abha Deva within the broader context of Indian religious history. The text examines the core principles of Jainism, focusing on the path of asceticism, non-violence, and the realization of the soul's true nature as exemplified by its founder.
Through careful analysis of scriptural evidence and philosophical doctrines, the author presents Ris?abha Deva not merely as a mythical figure, but as a pivotal spiritual reformer whose teachings laid the foundation for one of the world's oldest surviving religions. The book covers essential topics such as the nature of the cosmos, the mechanics of karma, and the ultimate goal of liberation (Moksha). By tracing the transition from the primitive ages to the dawn of civilization under Ris?abha Deva's guidance, this work offers profound insights into the evolution of ethical thought and spiritual practice in ancient India. It serves as an essential resource for students of Eastern philosophy and those interested in the foundational figures of world religions.
