Jaina Studies is a relatively new and rapidly expanding field of inquiry for scholars of Indian religion and philosophy. In Jainism, "yoga" carries many meanings, and this book explores the definitions, nuances and applications of the term in relation to Jainism from early times to the present. This book makes an important contribution to the fields of Yoga Studies, Religious Studies, Philosophy, and South Asian Studies.
