Description
Where Jain Dharma Comes Alive — One Activity at a Time
Picture a quiet Sunday morning: your child sitting with this book, tracing the Jain symbol, matching the 24 Tirthankars to their names, then running to show you what they learned about ahimsa. That is what Jain Activity Book – Fun with Jainism is designed for — not just reading about Jain Dharma, but living it, page by page.
Book 1 of the Shrutgyan Jain Activity Series is a beautifully illustrated workbook that introduces children ages 5–10 to the core of Jain belief and practice. The content is grounded in the acharyas’ teachings and presented in language a modern child actually understands — making it equally at home on a Pathshala desk or a bedside table.
