Description

Explore the complex relationship between wealth and spirituality in Riches and Renunciation: Religion, Economy, and Society among the Jains. Published by Oxford University Press as part of the Oxford Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology, this work examines the Jain community in Jaipur, India. While the Jain religion focuses on the ascetic example of renouncers and their path toward ending worldly life, the community itself is both flourishing and prosperous. This book investigates how the pursuit of worldly happiness and the practices of a thriving business community coexist with the traditions of renunciation and asceticism. It provides a detailed study of how Jain families balance their economic success with their religious dedication to an austere regime.
