Ascetics and Kings in a Jain Ritual Culture
Lawrence A. Babb
Ascetics and Kings in a Jain Ritual Culture - 1st ed. - Delhi Motilal Banarsidass Publishers 1998 - 244
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.
