Starting 1st January l 12:39 pm IST Subtitles available in Spanish and French Know More "Realise One's True Self and Serve Others Selflessly" JAINISM SAYS… How can we ensure that there is no gap between the purpose of Jainism and the way we practice it in our day-to-day life? And how can we bridge this gap if it occurs? This is a very insightful and useful question. The question itself challenges us to reflect on “being” vs. “doing” and be mindful of who we are becoming in process of all the “doing”. This kind of consciousness helps us in being aware of our internal bhaav (thoughts and intentions) and enables us to incorporate spirituality in all aspects of life. Any activity which takes us closer to realizing our own true self is a religious activity and realizing our own true self is our religion. When we understand the purpose of the religion, the core principles of the religion, and then practice religion through our activities, rituals, and traditions, then there is no gap. And we also end up attaining the spiritual benefits from the religion. However, the gap occurs when religion is practiced without proper understanding or reflection. We will first look at the purpose of Jainism, core principles, and then talk about the gap. Read the whole article here.

  • Concept of God in Jainism
    Concept of God in Jainism Jainism believes that the universe and all its substances or entities are eternal. It has no beginning or end with respect to time. The universe runs on its own accord by its own cosmic laws. All the substances change or modify their forms continuously. Nothing can be destroyed or created in the universe. There is no need for someone to create or manage the affairs of the universe. Hence Jainism does not believe in God as a creator, survivor, and destroyer of the universe. However, Jainism does believe in God, not as a creator, but as a perfect being. When a person destroys all his karmas, he becomes a liberated soul. He resides in a perfect blissful state in Moksha. He possesses infinite knowledge, infinite vision, infinite power, and infinite bliss. This living being is a God of the Jain religion. Every living being has the potential to become God. Hence Jains do not have one God, but Jain Gods are innumerable and their number is continuously increasing as more living beings attain liberation. Jains believe that since the beginning of time every living being (soul) because of its ignorance, is attached with karma. The main purpose of the religion is to remove this karma through self-knowledge and become a liberated soul. There are many types of karma. However, they are broadly classified into the following eight categories: 1. Mohniya karma It generates delusion in the soul in regard to its own true nature, and makes it identify itself with other external substances. 2.

  • 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.

  • A Study on Religion
    A Study on Religion Religious studies is the academic field of multi-disciplinary, secular study of religious beliefs, behaviors, and institutions. It describes, compares, interprets, and explains religion, emphasizing systematic, historically based, and cross-cultural perspectives. While theology attempts to understand the nature of transcendent or supernatural forces (such as deities), religious studies tries to study religious behavior and belief from outside any particular religious viewpoint. Religious studies draws upon multiple disciplines and their methodologies including anthropology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, and history of religion. Religious studies originated in the nineteenth century, when scholarly and historical analysis of the Bible had flourished, and Hindu and Buddhist texts were first being translated into European languages. Early influential scholars included Friedrich Max Müller, in England, and Cornelius P. Tiele, in the Netherlands. Today religious studies is practiced by scholars worldwide. In its early years, it was known as Comparative Religion or the Science of Religion and, in the USA, there are those who today also know the field as the History of religion (associated with methodological traditions traced to the University of Chicago in general, and in particular Mircea Eliade, from the late 1950s through to the late 1980s). The field is known as Religionswissenschaft in Germany and Sciences de la religion in the French-speaking world. The term "religion" originated from the Latin noun "religio", that was nominalized from one of three verbs: "relegere" (to turn to constantly/observe conscientiously); "religare" (to bind oneself [back]); and "reeligare" (to choose again).[1] Because of these three different meanings, an etymological analysis alone does not resolve the ambiguity of defining religion, since each verb points to a different understanding of what religion is.[2] During the Medieval Period, the term "religious" was used as a noun to describe someone who had joined a monastic order (a "religious").
