    Transmitting Jainism through U.S. Pāṭhaśāla Temple Education, Part 2: Navigating Non-Jain Contexts, Cultivating Jain-Specific Practices and Social Connections, Analyzing Truth Claims, and Future Directions Brianne Donaldson Abstract In this second of two articles, I offer a summary description of results from a 2017 nationwide survey of Jain students and teachers involved in pāṭha-śāla (hereafter “pathshala”) temple education in the United States. In these two essays, I provide a descriptive overview of the considerable data derived from this 178-question survey, noting trends and themes that emerge therein, in order to provide a broad orientation before narrowing my scope in subsequent analyses. In Part 2, I explore the remaining survey responses related to the following research questions: (1) How does pathshala help students/teachers navigate their social roles and identities?; (2) How does pathshala help students/teachers deal with tensions between Jainism and modernity?; (3) What is the content of pathshala?, and (4) How influential is pathshala for U.S. Jains? Key words: Jainism, pathshala, Jain education, pedagogy, Jain diaspora, minority, Jains in the United States, intermarriage, pluralism, future of Jainism, second- and third-generation Jains, Young Jains of America, Jain orthodoxy and neo-orthodoxy, Jainism and science, Jain social engagement Transnational Asia: an online interdisciplinary journal Volume 2, Issue 1 https://transnationalasia.rice.edu https://doi.org/10.25613/3etc-mnox 2 Introduction In this paper, the second of two related articles, I offer a summary description of results from a 2017 nationwide survey of Jain students and teachers involved in pāṭha-śāla (hereafter “pathshala”) temple education in the United States.

  • A Brief Summary of Life and Mission of Shri Virchand Raghavji Gandhi (August 25, 1864 to August 7, 1901)
    A Brief Summary of Life and Mission of Shri Virchand Raghavji Gandhi (August 25, 1864 to August 7, 1901) It was the memorable day of September 11, 1893. The Columbus Hall of Art Institute of Chicago was overflowing with more than 3000 delegates of different nations and religions. It was the opening day of the Parliament of World Religions Conference, the first such conference ever organized in the history of mankind. The aim of the conference was to impart to the world, the knowledge of different religions, and to promote a feeling of fraternity between followers of diverse religious persuasions, and also to pave the way for world peace. The conference lasted for 17 days. Two young men among them, with their Indian costumes and turbans drew, special attention of the public - one was the world famous Swami Vivekananda, who represented Hinduism and the other was Shri Virchand Raghavji Gandhi who represented Jainism. They made such an impact at the Parliament of Religions with their impressive speeches and personality that both of them were requested to prolong their stay in the USA and continued to give speeches at different cities after the conference was over. Shri Virchand Gandhi, a young man of twenty-nine, impressed the delegates not only by his eloquence, but also by the sheer weight of his scholarship. The impartiality of outlook and the oratorical skill of this man fascinated the delegates at the conference. An American newspaper wrote, "of all eastern scholars, it was this youth whose lecture on Jain faith and conduct was listened to with the interest engaging the greatest attention." Shri Virchand R.

  • Anekāntavāda and Dialogic Identity Construction
    religions Article Anekantav¯ ada¯ and Dialogic Identity Construction Melanie Barbato Seminar für Religionswissenschaft und Interkulturelle Theologie, University of Münster, 48143 Münster, Germany; [email protected] Received: 1 November 2019; Accepted: 14 November 2019; Published: 20 November 2019 Abstract: While strong religious identity is often associated with violence, Jainism, one of the world’s oldest practiced religions, is often regarded as one of the most peaceful religions and has nevertheless persisted through history. In this article, I am arguing that one of the reasons for this persistence is the community’s strategy of dialogic identity construction. The teaching of anekantav¯ ada¯ allows Jainas to both engage with other views constructively and to maintain a coherent sense of self. The article presents an overview of this mechanism in different contexts from the debates of classical Indian philosophy to contemporary associations of anekantav¯ ada¯ with science. Central to the argument is the observation that anekantav¯ ada¯ is in all these contexts used to stabilize Jaina identity, and that anekantav¯ ada¯ should therefore not be interpreted as a form of relativism. Keywords: Jainism; anekantav¯ ada¯ ; identity; Indian philosophy; Indian logic 1. Introduction: Religious Identity and the Dialogic Uses of Anekantav¯ ada¯ Within the debate on the role of religion in public life, strong religious identity is often and controversially discussed within the context of violent extremism.1 Strong religion, as in the title of a book by Gabriel A. Almond, R. Scott Appleby and Emmanuel Sivan (Almond et al. 2003), is sometimes just another word for fundamentalism, with all its “negative connotations” (Ter Haar 2003, p.

Hamid Ansari met Jain Spiritual leader, founder of Sukhi Parivar Foundation Gani Rajendra Vijay and Sahitya Manishee Acharya Shrimad Vijay Virendra surijee at Vice President House to discuss about present scenario and tribal problems. While discussing on above topic Gani Rajendra Vijay told that if anybody wants to move ahead in field of spiritual practice then he has to overcome the outer world attraction. Vice President welcomed Sahitya Manishi Acharya Shrimad Vijay Virendra Suriji and Sukhi Parivar Movement founder Gani Rajendra Vijay at Vice President House, who reached Delhi by padyatra from Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh. Gani Rajendra Vijay also said that the human values are rapidly declining despite the implementation of education system, reforms and innovative practices. Sahitya Manishi Acharya Shrimad Vijay Virendra Suriji said that Sukhi Parivar Abhiyan is a revolutionary process for maturity of thoughts, change in behaviors and all round development of the personality. It purifies the heart and the consciousness. It gives practical training of the fundamental elements of Indian ethics, culture and helps in emotional development. While responding to the ideas expressed by Gani Rajendra vijay, Vice President M. Hamid Ansari said "Today our nation needs more moral education and teaching of non violence. We want peace and harmony because there is no alternative to it.

  • Indian Leaders on Tibet.Pmd
    C. Rajagopalachari, the last Governor-General of India, on Tibet Brutal Colonialism in Tibet IT is difficult to find suitable words to express the sympathy that I feel in respect of this movement - of what I may call in a different sense - a movement for the liberation of Tibet. The issue of Tibet is not a question of legalistic exploration as to the sovereignty of Tibet but a question of human rights which must be decided on the plane of justice and humanity and not on the basis of any legal puzzle. Sovereignty and Suzerainty are terms which have varied from time to time in respect of their content. Whatever legal jargon might have been used from time to time, in respect of the relation between Tibet and China, in particular, and the outer world, in general, no one can doubt the fact that Tibetan people have a right to rule themselves. His Holiness the Dalai Lama in his message had made things quite clear and pointed out how even on a legalistic plane there can be no doubt about the rights of the Tibetan people to rule themselves irrespective of any belonging to other nationalities. This invasion of Tibet which terminated in His Holiness taking refuge in Indian territory is brutal colonialism. There can, therefore, be no second thoughts in the matter. All Indian people wants Tibet to be released from the grip of China. 1 Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of Indian Republic, on Tibet (Excerpts from his last public speech, Gandhi Maidan, Patna, 24 October, 1962.) FREEDOM is the most sacred boon.

Department of Anthropology & Sociology The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date 14 October 1980 The main purpose of the thesis is to examine Jain worship and the role of the Jains1 Tirthankara images in worship. The thesis argues that the worshipper emulates the Tirthankara image which embodies Jain values and that these values define and, in part, dictate proper behavior. In becoming like the image, the worshipper's actions ex• press the common concerns of the Jains and follow a pattern that is prized because it is believed to be especially Jain. The basic orientation or line of thought is that culture is a system of symbols. These symbols are implicit agreements among the community's members, agreements which entail values and which permit the Jains to meaningfully interpret their experiences and guide their actions.
