Connecting Seekers to Sacred Literature
Jinwani is a proud initiative under JinSwara — a community dedicated to digitalizing Jainism since 2017. While JinSwara builds the broader digital ecosystem for Jain knowledge, Jinwani focuses on one specific gap: making physical Jain books findable. No e-commerce, no middlemen — just a direct connection between a reader and the publisher who holds that book.
Our Mission
Preserving the word. Bridging the distance.
Jain literature carries centuries of wisdom — from the Agamas to Prathmanuyog, from Karananuog to Dravyanuyog. Yet for a reader in a small town, or a seeker abroad, locating a specific physical book has always been a challenge. Publishers exist across India, but there was no single place to find them all.
Jinwani was born from a simple belief: the sacred words of the Jinas deserve to be found. We are a free, ad-free, non-commercial platform — and we promise to keep it that way, forever.
Our Goals
What we are building toward
Index physical Jain books across Hindi, English, Sanskrit, Prakrit, and regional languages — all four Anuyogs, Agamas, devotional literature, and children's pathshala content.
Onboard every major Jain publisher in India so no book goes undiscoverable.
Enable direct reader-to-publisher connections — no cart, no payment gateway, no platform fees.
Build a trusted reference for Jain literature that current and future generations can rely on.
Remain permanently free and ad-free for readers and publishers alike.
