Can we have multiple JVMs on the same machine?

Sure. You can have lots inactive (they're just executable programs, after all), and even lots running at once. I routinely have about 4 running for various server purposes.

Thanks Frank..I am kind of new to this one...so trying to get to
the root level.. What I understand is JVM is specification and
JRE implements it. Could you explain to me in detail how we can have multiple JVMs? Any links/sites which could explain these
basic concepts?
Thank you very much for your time.

JVM is an implementation. In Windows, it is java.exe (and some DLL's, of course).
Every time you open a DOS window, and execute java [a class file] you are running a new instance of a JVM. In one DOS window, you can run a server. In some other DOS windows, you can run other java programs that talk together. Each DOS window will start a new instance of the JVM, so you can have multiple JVMs on one machine.
