JAN 9 1986 EDITORIAL PREFACE THE writers of this series of volumes on the variant forms of religious life in India are governed in their work by two impelling motives. I. They endeavour to work in the sincere and sympathetic spirit of science. They desire to understand the perplexingly involved developments of thought and life in India and dis passionately to estimate their value. They recognize the futility of any such attempt to understand and evaluate, unless it is grounded in a thorough historical study of the phenomena investigated. In recognizing this fact they do no more than share what is common ground among all modern students of religion of any repute.

  • International Journal of Jaina Studies (Online) Vol
    International Journal of Jaina Studies (Online) Vol. 8, No. 1 (2012) 1-47 SHADES OF ENLIGHTENMENT A JAIN TANTRIC DIAGRAM AND THE COLOURS OF THE TĪRTHAṄKARAS Ellen Gough 1 Scholarship in recent years has convincingly established that Śaiva-Śākta traditions dominated much of the South Asian medieval landscape, significantly transforming the religious beliefs and practices on the subcontinent. The work of Alexis Sanderson, in particular, has provided a wealth of data to document this Śaiva influence, with his recent monograph, “The Śaiva Age: The Rise and Dominance of Śaivism During the Early Medieval Period,” arguing that from the fifth to thirteenth centuries, all major religious traditions in India were either “absorbed by” Śaivism or “came to remodel themselves along Śaiva lines” (Sanderson 2009: 252). This remodeling meant the widespread acceptance of tantric practices such as the use of esoteric mantra s and elaborate ritual diagrams ( maṇḍala, yantra, cakra, etc.). Jainism was certainly among the traditions influenced by these developments, yet little research has been done on Jains’ appropriation of Śaiva-Śākta tantric practices. There have been some preliminary studies of Jain mantra s and maṇḍala s, 2 and scholars have examined aspects of medieval Jain- Śaiva interactions in philosophical, narrative, and ritual texts, 3 but much more research 1 An earlier version of this paper was presented at the University of Toronto Graduate Student Conference on South Asian Religions in 2011. I thank the conference participants for their helpful feedback. I also thank Phyllis Granoff for comments on several earlier drafts of the paper. 2 While there are more studies of Jain mantraśāstra in Indian languages, I focus here on scholarship in European languages.

  • On the Indian Sect of the Jainas. Translated from the German. Edited
    UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO LIBRARY WILLIAM H. DONNER COLLECTION purchased from a gift by THE DONNER CANADIAN FOUNDATION 3Q- ON THE INDIAN SECT OF THE JAINAS BY JOHANN GEORG BUHLER C.I.E., LLD., PH.D. Member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Vienna. TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN. EDITED with an OUTLINE of JAINA MYTHOLOGY BY JAs. BURGESS, C.I.E., LL.D., F.R.S.E. LONDON : LUZAC & Co., PUBLISHERS TO THE INDIA OFFICE 46, Great Russell Street 1903. PRINTED BY E. J. BRILL, LEYDEN (Holland). PREFACE. The late Dr. Georg Biihler s essay Ueber die Indische Secte der Jaina, read at the anniversary meeting of the Imperial Academy of Sciences of Vienna on the 26 th May 1887, has been for some time out of print in the separate form. Its value as a succinct account of the Sravaka sect, by a scholar conversant with them and their religious literature is well known to European scholars; but to nearly all educated natives of India works pu blished in German and other continental languages are practically sealed books, and thus the fresh information which they are well able to contribute is not elicited. It is hoped that the translation of this small work may meet with their acceptance and that of Europeans in India and elsewhere to whom the original is either unknown or who do not find a foreign language so easy to read as their own. The translation has been prepared under my supervision, and with a few short footnotes. Professor Biihler s long note on the authenticity of the Jaina PREFACE.

  • History of Jainism
    A HISTORY OF THE JAINS ASHIM KUMAR ROY 1984 First Published 1984 GITANJALI PUBLISHING HOUSE 2/12 Vikram Vihar Lajpat Nagar IV, New Delhi-110024 Ashim Kumar Roy GITANJALI PUBLISHING HOUSE NEW DELHI PRINTED BY RISE PRESS PRINTERS DESIGNERS PUBLISHERS 902/290 SHALAMAR INDUSTRIAL AREA P O NEW SUBZI MANDI DELHI 110033 INTRODUCTION In the sixth century BC Buddhism had just been founded. The Vedic religion was almost getting extinct and Hinduism as we know it today was at a nebulous stage. Jainism at that time was not only a mature and living religion but also one claiming a hoary antiquity. All its tenets had fully developed by that time and these tenets have remained almost unchanged all these 2500 years. Jainism is thus the oldest living religion of India. But age alone is not what gives importance to Jainism. This religion is important because it has greatly influenced practically all-religious thinking of India. If, as is thought by many, the spirit of Indian religious life was 'life and world negating' it might be said that it was mainly due to the influence of Jainism and similar other religions of that time on Indian thought. It also shows the triumph of the Jain spirit over the 'life and world affirming' attitude of the Vedic people who failed to divert the main stream of Indian religious thinking from pessimism to an optimistic and joyous path. The aversion to the killing of animals, the belief that all ascetics are holy people (and conversely that a person in order to be holy should be an ascetic), the theory of the transmigration of the soul, and that 'getting born in this world is itself a punishment' all these are parts of Hindu thinking.

  • Jainism in Haryana: an Archaeological Perspective
    Jainism in Haryana: An Archaeological Perspective Vivek Dangi1 1. Department of History, All India Jat Heroes Memorial College, Rohtak, Haryana – 124 001, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 26 July 2017; Revised: 11 September 2017; Accepted: 04 November 2017 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 5 (2017): 300‐330 Abstract: The origin of Jainism is much earlier than Buddhism and most of the scholars agree that its antiquity goes back to Vedic times. Evidences of its existence are found in most of all the Indian states and Haryana was also an important centre of Jainism during hoary past. A large number of Jaina sculptures and other antiquities are occasionally found as chance discoveries from various archaeological sites in Haryana. The Jaina literature also refers to many important Jaina sites such as Agroha, Hansi, Rohtak etc. and many more place are yet to identify which are mentioned in ancient Jaina literature but so far as no attempt has been made to study the Jaina remains in Haryana in holistic perspective. Author of this paper have explored most of the known Jaina sites and provide a systematic documentation of recorded findings. Keywords: Tirthankara, Jaina, Haryana, Sculpture, Parsvanatha, Adinatha, Temple Introduction India has long been known as a very spiritual and religious part of the world. Religions are an integral part of all Indian traditions. Indian religions constitute a field of study that is of great importance to study of human culture overall. Religion in Haryana is a very complex phenomenon requiring careful study. However few studies thus far have been conducted on this aspect of Haryana culture.

  • Palitanaa the Jain Pilgrimage Center
    PALITANAA THE JAIN PILGRIMAGE CENTER THE MARVEL OF JAINISM AND THE RELIGIOUS ART he Palitana temples of Jainism are located on Mount Shatrunjaya, by the city of Palitana, in Bhavnagar district, Gujarat, India. The city of the same name, known previously as Padliptapur, has been nicknamed "City of Temples". Along with Sammet Shikhar, earlier in Bihar state, now of Jharkhand, the two sites are considered the holiest of all pilgrimage places by the Jain community. As the temple-city was built to be an abode for the divine, no one is allowed to stay overnight, including the priests. Every Jain believes that a visit to this group of temples is essential once in a life time to achieve nirvana or salvation.[3] The Jain's sacred site of Shatrunjay contains hundreds of Palitana temples. There are approximately 863 marble-carved temples on the hills. It is said that 23 Tirthankara (a human being who helps in achieving liberation and enlightenment), except Neminath (a liberated soul which has destroyed all of its karma), sanctified the hill temples by their visits. The main temple is dedicated to the Rishabha, the first Tirthankara; it is the holiest shrine for the Svetambara Murtipujaka Jain sect who are worshipers of images of gods. The Digambara sect of Jainism has only one temple here. The summit is situated at an elevation of 7,288 feet (2,221 m). Reaching it involves climbing over 3,750 stone steps. However, during the monsoon season the temples are closed for devotees. It takes approximately two hours to make the 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) climb.
