Prof. B.R. Dugar, stated the purpose and the utility of the monograph series for understanding Jain philosophy which is indeed true philosophy. Further he said that “keeping in mind the fact that, people of any field can take advantage of this by understanding it in simple language, BMIRC took the initiative to write a monograph on each Jain concept, so that every person can become familiar with the scientism of Jainism”.

Through these monographs, a common person will also be able to understand its essence in simple language and at the same time will be attracted to read the canonical literature in depth and be inspired.
