Nirvana evam samaja is a book written in Hindi on Buddhist ethics and philosophy by Satyanarayan (A research scholar of JNU. New Delhi. ). The Author is a prominent scholar of Indology and buddhism. The book presents the topic very beautifully. It deals with some very important questions..

Q. 1. Is their any social relevance of theory of nirvana ? Q. 2. Does A Nirvritta (person who attained nirvana ) has some goals or is it the the completion of every goal ? Q. 3. Is nirvana useful for laymen ? Q. 4. Can A homely person achieve nirvana or is it for monks only ?
