Think of Pravachanasara, Samayasara and Niyamasara as three petals of the same flower—each unfolding a different shade of Jain wisdom. Pravachanasara zeroes in on the very essence of right perception and knowledge, laying out how the pure soul shines once all karmic veils are stripped away. It’s like a backstage pass to ultimate reality, pointing directly at that inner light.

Samayasara strikes a more introspective chord. Reminding readers that the soul’s inherent purity is forever intact, it explores how passion and ignorance obscure that brilliance. Bit by bit, it shows how true insight springs not from outside rituals but from recognizing the self’s truth. In today’s hustle—where mindfulness apps flood the market—this text still hits the nail on the head, insisting self-awareness never goes out of style.

Then there’s Niyamasara, which gets practical. It lays down both internal restraints (like controlling anger or greed) and external disciplines (fasts, meditation postures) that pave the way for spiritual growth. While Pravachanasara paints the big picture and Samayasara draws the soul’s blueprint, Niyamasara hands over the tool kit.

Together, these works set the stage for a balanced journey. Pravachanasara supplies the “what” and “why,” Samayasara reminds of the “who” (the ever-pure soul), and Niyamasara delivers the “how.” When modern Jain study groups dive into Kundakunda’s trio, it’s often in one conference session after another—most recently at the 2025 Jain Youth Summit—where scholars and young practitioners compare their notes on applying eternal teachings to life in a digital age.

Ultimately, these texts aren’t competing voices but a chorus. Each one enriches the others: Pravachanasara’s lofty views are grounded by Niyamasara’s practical steps, and Samayasara’s soul-centered lens keeps the focus on the real prize. Taken together, they’re anything but dry doctrine—more like a timeless roadmap showing how to clear the fog, turn inward and let the light of true knowledge shine.
