The collection is comprised of over 300 volumes on the canonical literature of the three Indian faiths: Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The books are written primarily in Sanskrit, Pali and Prakrit, with a small number of secondary works in Hindi and English. This is an important and valuable addition to the Cal Poly Pomona Library, and in support to the campus’ newly established Ahimsa Center.
The Collection was donated in memory of Professor and Mrs. Jaini’s daughter, Asha Jaini. Each volume from the collection bears an inscribed bookplate in memory of Asha. Professor Jaini visited the Cal Poly Pomona campus during the opening of the Ahimsa Center in May, 2004, and was presented with a framed plaque in recognition of his gift to the University Library.
