Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: The humankind is facing some severe problems, that may lead to its virtual extinction globally. One of them is the growth approach, lopsided to capitalistic and materialistic theories of development. The consequences are clearly observed in increasing poverty and hunger on one hand, and gross environmental and ecological imbalance on the other. The scientists all over the world unanimously declared that it is a great threat to existence of all living beings. In spite of unprecedented attainments of modern science and innovative technology, several aspects of human life have undergone tremendous deterioration which they (science & technology) have failed to inhibit and alleviate. On the other hand, the scientific spiritual technology has been proved to pave the way for their mitigation, and hence, reconciliation of spiritual technology with modern technology seems to be need of the hour. Spiritual Technology is the practical application of the scientific knowledge and spiritual wisdom available in the ancient scriptures to bring about the ultimate transformation of the human mind so that we can lead holistic lives. With dominant assumption in mind, the present paper endeavours to underline the necessity of adopting Jainism’s spiritual technology for holistic development of mankind. – Reproduced
