An Ahimsa Crisis: You Decide 11 Publishers Note Though modern civilization is characterized by a concern for fellow human beings, the foremost problem of our age is growing violence, both in thought and action. Fast evolving fields of communication and transportation have turned the world into a village. A child in Europe may have sympathy and extend help to one of his ilk in Africa.

At this distance it takes about three full days for astronauts to travel from the Earth’s surface to land on the moon. Because it is Earth’s closest neighbor, we have been able to gain more knowledge about it than any other body in the Solar System besides the Earth. The moon is also the brightest object in the night sky. Today, astronomers know that the moon is slowly moving away from the Earth. But at the rate it is traveling, about 1.5 inches per year, it will be lighting up our night sky for a long time.

  • Moksa in Jainism -With Special Reference to Haribhadra Suri
    ( 14 ) Journal of Indian and Buddhist Studies Vol. 54, No.3, March 2006 Moksa in Jainism -with special reference to Haribhadra Suri - Yasunori HARADA 0. Introduction In ancient India, how people could eliminate the suffering of samsara and obtain liberation (moksa) was a serious issue. This was also the case for the Jains. They developed an original theory of karma since the time of Mahavira. Umasvati (ca. 5- 6c) systematized a theory of liberation in his work, the TAAS. Within that text he describes the Jaina view of the world and karma. In the 10th chapter he explains in particular the Jaina theory of liberation. Haribhadra Suri (ca. 8c), a Jaina Svetambara monk and scholar, also discusses a theory of liberation in the 5th chapter of the Anekantavadapravesa.l)However, instead of developingUmasvati's theory of libera- tion, he criticizes the Buddhist view of momentariness (ksanikatva),in particular that of Dharmakirti (ca. 600-660AD). The present article examines the AVP, especially concerning the way in which Haribhadra Suri refutes the ksanikatva theory. In ad- dition, it compares Haribhadra Suri with his predecessor, the Digambara scholar Samantabhadra(ca. 600 AD),who takes the same view, i. e. the anekantavada. Thus this paper will shed new light on an aspect of the Jaina theory of liberation in the post-Agamic "logico-epistemological"tradition that has not as yet been studied in detail. 1. The Liberation Theory of Umasvati First, I would like to confirm the theoretical role of liberation in the TAAS. Umasvati enumerates 7 tattvas: jiva, ajiva, asrava, bandha, samvara, nirjara and moksa.2)This world, according to the TAAS, consists of jivas and ajivas.

  • Dairy Food Consumption, Production and Policy in Japan
    Japanese Consumer Demand for Dairy Products Isabelle Schluep Campo (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich) John C. Beghin* (Iowa State University) Contributed paper prepared for presentation at the International Association of Agricultural Economists Conference, Gold Coast, Australia, August 12-18, 2006 Abstract: We econometrically estimate consumer demand for dairy products in Japan using time series data for 1960-2003. We identify economic, cultural, and demographic forces that have been influencing dairy consumption patterns. We use the Almost Ideal (AI) Demand System by Deaton and Muellbauer and its variant, the Semiflexible Almost Ideal (SAI) Demand System developed by Moschini to impose concavity locally by reducing the rank of the Hessian of the expenditure function. We estimate three specifications: a full system comprising of four dairy products (fluid milk, powder milk, cheese, and butter), and an all other- goods aggregate; a subsystem for food made of four dairy goods and an all-other-food aggregate; and a sub-system of the four dairy products. The minimum distance estimator is used to estimate the demand system. We find that expenditure responses are positive, except for butter demand; own-price responses are large in absolute value; and non-price factors are important determinants of Japanese dairy consumption.

  • Paper No. 13 FOOD ADDITIVES Module No. 31 Dairy Ingredients in Food Applications
    Paper No. 13 FOOD ADDITIVES Module No. 31 Dairy ingredients in food applications - I (Baking, Confectionery, Sauces) Introduction Milk is considered to be an adequate source of valuable macronutrients (fat, protein, lactose), vitamins and micronutrients (minerals), making it a ‘wholesome food’. It can serve as an excellent carrier product for extra nutrient, and if enriched or fortified it can satisfy the nutritional needs of the population. Non-dairy ingredients find a critical role in synergy of the chemical constituents of dairy foods to enhance their sensory, nutritional profile, at the same time influencing the cost of the resultant product. Dramatic increases in the cost of milk have sent prices of milk ingredients skyrocketing – threatening the profitability of dairy and other food products. Driven by consumer’s lifestyle, their demographics, socio-economic, cultural background and their environment, a whole range of new product formulations have evolved to suit the palate of the varied consumers. The consumer is shifting towards ‘light’ foods with low calories and adopting ‘functional foods’ that is going to improve their health and well-being too. In fact, blending functional ingredients into dairy based foods helps increased sale of dairy foods (Berry, 2002). Hence, there is a need to merge non-dairy ingredients with dairy based ingredients and products to attain the above mentioned objectives with attendant savings in cost, enhanced appearance, taste, texture and even functionality. The role played by dairy ingredients in baked goods, confectionery foods and sauces are discussed in depth in this module. I. Dairy ingredients in Baking industry Milk solids in baked goods Milk, butter, buttermilk, yoghurt, kefir, whey, quarg and dried milk protein or SMP have been tried out as one of the valued ingredient in various types of bread, and whole milk, butter and fresh cheese in fine bakery goods.

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.

  • Jain Tattvas and Philosophy of Karma - by Pravin K
    Read part 1 here Jain Tattvas and Philosophy of Karma - By Pravin K. Shah Asrava (Cause of the influx of karma) Asrava is the cause, which leads to the influx of good and evil karma which leads to the bondage of the soul. Asrava may be described as an attraction in the soul toward sense objects. The following are causes of Asrava or influx of good and evil karma: Mithyatva - Ignorance Avirati - Lack of self-restraint Pramada* - Unawareness or unmindfulness Kasaya - Passions like anger, conceit, deceit, and lust Yoga - Activities of mind, speech, and body *Some Jain literature mention only four causes of Asrava. They include Pramad in the category of Kasaya. Bandha (Bondage of karma) Bandha is the attachment of karmic matter (karma pudgala) to the soul. The soul has had this karmic matter bondage from eternity because of its own ignorance. This karmic body is known as the karmana body or causal body or karma. The karmic matter is a particular type of matter which is attracted to the soul because of soul's ignorance, lack of self-restraint, passions, unmindfulness, activities of body, mind, and speech. The soul, which is covered by karmic matter, continues acquiring new karma from the universe and exhausting old karma into the universe through the above-mentioned actions at every moment. Because of this continual process of acquiring and exhausting karma particles, the soul has to pass through the cycles of births and deaths and experiencing pleasure and pain. So under normal circumstances, the soul can not attain freedom from karma and hence liberation.
