From one birth to another

About this book

"Disguised within deft storytelling, Jaina literature seeks to impart messages of restraint and rectitude -- to caution us against the attractions of the senses and convince us of a deeper reality. Readers are familiarized with the pleasures of vices, only to make them realize in the course of the story that these don't bring ultimate fulfilment. Memorable as the stories in From One Birth to Another are, they also serve as a guide to the moral landscape of our lives."--Page 4 of cover
