"Matter and energy were known by Jains to have been interchangeable long before Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity."

- Is it just me, or is this statement somehow biased? --82.139.47.117 10:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Even though the statement is true to a large extent, I understand your concern. Statements like this shouldn't be worded in such a way as to promote Jainism, and should be cited. --Qmwne 2 3 5 23:21, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganisation plan

As this article is in a mess and does not provide accurate version of the Jain cosmology and Jain geography, I suggest a following re-org plan

Jain conception of Universe
1. The Concept of reality – the constituents of the Universe
2. Jain Geography (This should be a different article also)
Time Cycle
1. Description of Aras
2. Time scales and units of measurements
63 Salakhapurusa or Illustrious persons

Images and charts

Jain universe
Maps of Jain geography
Time Cycle
Units of measurement in time

Comments are invited--Anish (talk) 06:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jain "geography"?

Is "geography" really the best word? It might be, if they use the same word in the jain texts, but my knowledge lacks here... "Geography" usually refers to the physical Earth or extendedly to physical planets. Maybe instead "universe", "multiverse"? ... said: Rursus (bork²) 09:18, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

this article is very word to word, non logical interpretation and messy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dejotou (talk • contribs) 01:04, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think the appropriate term in this context is cosmology but I'm no english mothertongue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.252.112.106 (talk) 13:19, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
