We have gained our knowledge on "Bhed-Gnaan" mostly from the four well-known people of the twentieth century that have understood and put into practise the Essence of Jainism. These four people are:-
We are extremely grateful to these four gnaanis for showing us that true understanding and implementation of that understanding is within everyone's reach.
SITE PRINCIPLES
In this site we will attempt to present the original Jain texts faithfully WITHOUT creating any new literature.
All the literature we reproduce will be:-
that written by those house-holders (such as Shreemad Rajchandra) who had become gnaanis by understanding their own nature (called Samyakt Darshan) and then written texts to assist others to achieve the same understanding
transcripts of gnaani's lectures
Introductory texts, to help gain a basic grounding in Jainism, written by others whose literary skills have been commended by gnaanis (such as those written by authors in Gurudev Kanji Swami's presence) will also be presented here. These texts will be confined to presenting the basics of Jainism only. If you find a conflict ALWAYS rely on the the Gnaani's message.
If we should fail to live up to these principles, please let us know, without hesitation, on rajesh.shah@totalise.co.uk.
