Purpose
This site has been created to achieve two objectives:-- Make true Jain literature accessible.
- Raise awareness of this literature.
Why? Because there is plenty of literature on the web about science and religion. There are lots of sites which offer different views on religions, including purpose, methods and consequences. There are also a number of sites on Jainism. However, we could not find much material to do with the Essence of Jainism which is understanding the difference between:-
- the self and other objects;
- my natural dispositions from unnatural dispositions.
Principles
In this site we will attempt to present the original Jain texts faithfully WITHOUT creating any new literature. All the literature we reproduce will be:-- that written by true monks {such as }
- that written by those house-holders such as Pandit Todarmalji, Shreemad Rajchandra)
Only material written by Gnaani's, or under their watch, is available on AtmaDharma. We have tried not to give personal opinions to ensure that the material is not distorted. Everything on AtmaDharma.com & AtmaDharma.org is free for you to download onto your PC!
If we should fail to live up to these principles, please let us know, without hesitation, on Contact Us.

These Great Souls are:-
Inspiration
The inspiration for this site comes from my loving mother, Laxmiben. My mother's quality of quiet and gentle perseverance for what is right and principled has been a source of inspiration for building AtmaDharma.com whenever we have encountered obstacles and were ready to give up.
Ever since I can remember, my mother was always reading Jain shastras and thinking about the tattvas. She knew that this was the only way out of the misery of sansaar......
When my mother was suffering from cancer and knew she was in her last days in this life, she told her five children that she had packed our inheritance into separate boxes for each of us.
What did each of these boxes contain? .... a set of Jain shastras ... the only inheritance worth giving ... one that would help each of us to make our own way out of the misery of sansaar.
My wife (Jyoti), and I (Rajesh), would like to share our inheritance with you ...
