COFFEE TABLE BOOK (THE WAR WITHIN)
Jain Diksha – A War Within
A Visual Chronicle of Renunciation, Resolve & Inner Liberation
Concept Overview
This evocative coffee table book delves into the transformative process of Diksha in Jainism—from the philosophical roots of renunciation to the lived experiences of those who walk away from the world. It explores the unseen emotional terrain, echoing silent battles, tender attachments, and the courage to let go. Framed not as retreat, but as transcendence, the book offers a layered portrayal of the Dikshatri’s journey—marked by faith, discipline, and internal awakening.​
