(Photo: Ellen Gough, July 2013.). 3 CoJS Newsletter • March 2015 • Issue 10 Letter from the Chair Dear Friends, Another 10-year anniversary knocks at our door. Our Newsletter itself has come off age! It was started after the inauguration of the Centre of Jaina Studies in 2004 after a member of the Jaina community rightly urged us that a medium such as this would be required in this day and age to reach out to the network of interested scholars, the Jaina community and the wider public in an informative and engaging way. The venture was, however, only started reluctantly, with due consideration of our limited resources. It only took off thanks to the enthusiasm of co-editor and Newsletter designer Janet Leigh Foster, who put her characteristic verve and skill behind the project, conceiving the format, and placing a special emphasis on Jaina art. When austerity cuts at SOAS seemed to put a stop on the Newsletter last year, out of the blue, almost miraculously, a five- year sponsorship from the Delhi based Gyan Sagar Foundation materialised. We are grateful for this, and for the continuing support from the Jaina community worldwide, and hope that the Newsletter will continue to flourish and remain of use as a channel for reports on the latest research in Jaina Studies for a global readership. As intended from the outset of the Newsletter, the contributions to this volume are both from scholars based at SOAS, and from all over the world. The present 10-Year Jubilee volume features reports on the Prakrit Dictionary project at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute in Pune, led by its current general editor R.P. Poddar, and on Digambara and Śvetāmbara bhaṇḍāras in India, whose manuscript collections have in great part recently been digitised, in the context of the Government funded National Manuscript Mission. In this way, rare texts are preserved and become increasingly accessible through online reposi- tories. The report by Muzaffar Ahmad on the recent discovery of Jaina caraṇa-pādukās in Chel-Abdal Chakwal re-opens the under-researched question of the Jaina heritage in Pakistan, and the article by J.C. Wright, Honorary President of the CoJS, A Disputed Item in the Citta-Saṃbhūijja (Uttarajjhāyā 13) re-considers Ernst Leumann’s now taken-for-granted theory of the ‘Gesamtlegende’ of Citta and Saṃbhūta in the Jaina and Buddhist canons. Besides the informative conference reports, two other themes are dominant in this volume: The material culture of the Jainas, represented by reports by John E. Cort and Kimberly Masteller on domestic Jain shrines. Ellen Gough, former recipient of the Jain Spirit MA Scholarship at SOAS, now a PhD candidate at Yale University, presents a report on her latest research on Jaina Tantra, the topic of this year’s Annual Jaina Studies Workshop at SOAS. Finally, two events organised by the CoJS during the last academic year deserve to be mentioned: Ashok Aklujkar’s lecture: Why Aśoka (and therefore the Buddha and Mahāvīra) Should Be Older Than We Take Him (/Them) to Be, and the Acharya Tulsi Memorial Lecture, delivered, to great acclaim, by Satish Kumar (www.soas.ac.uk/jainastudies). The latter was the CoJS offering to the Birth Centenary of Ācārya Tulsī (1914-1997), whose extraordinary life is remembered in this volume in Nirmal Baid’s Life of a Legend: Acharya Tulsi. Truly worthy of a celebration! Peter Flügel 4 CoJS Newsletter • March 2015 • Issue 10 The 15th Annual Jaina Lecture 15.00 Whitney M.

    2020-07-06 Dharma Samadhi (1 of 5) Carried by Inspiration Mon, 7/6 8:00AM • 16:13 SUMMARY KEYWORDS gladness, dharma, joy, paper airplane, inspiration, mind, buddha, samadhi, running, inspired, effort, practice, talk, feel, inspiring, dharma practice, hindrances, cooperative, concentration, arise SPEAKERS Gil Fronsdal So if you make the effort to climb up the ladder, up a slide, and then you allow yourself to slide down, you're in a certain way, making your own effort to get to the top, but then you're allowing gravity to slide you, pull you down in a delightful way. And yesterday I watched some kids in a waterslide and just delightfully kind of coming down and smashing into the water. Very nice. If you make a paper airplane, you have to maybe fold the paper just right and know what to do. But then when you throw the paper airplane, it's not just up to you how you throw it. It's also up to the air that holds you up, holds the paper airplane up. And that air is what allows the paper airplane to fly. And if you have a, if you want to grow a garden, maybe you want to grow tomatoes. You have to plant the seed and maybe make a lot of conditions in the soil fertile and keep it watered. But the whole thing depends on having the sun, having light come and we create, we do offer our part to care for the plant. But we also allow for the sun to do its work, and allows the plant to grow.

  • Colonization of Dharma
    Quest Journals Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Science Volume 6 ~ Issue 5 (2018) pp.: 13-15 ISSN(Online) : 2321-9467 www.questjournals.org Research Paper Colonization of Dharma Dr Chaitanya Visiting Asst. Prof. Bhagwant Unv., Raj. Corresponding Author: Dr Chaitanya ABSTRACT: Even after independence from the British, Indian psyche is still ruled and governed by the theory of ‘White Supremacy’, causing greater harm to Indian culture and philosophy; considering it inferior to the British one. One of such colonial legacies is our perception of the word ‘Dharma’ as ‘Religion’. This misconstruction has greatly subverted the true concept and framework of ‘Dharma’. ‘Dharma’ means the universal or ultimate law that holds one and innumerable universes, and their all animate and inanimate objects together in harmony. It is the eternal law of universe, inherent in the very nature of things. Law of gravitation is Dharma as it holds not only different plenary systems of this universe but also innumerable universes outside of this universe. Religion is simply a particular system of faith and worship that is based on the belief in the existence of a particular God or gods. Religion is founded by someone; Dharma cannot be founded as every man is born with many Dharmas of body and mind. Religion has a life span; Dharma is eternal, sanatan. Our failure to comprehend this essential difference between the two concepts has led not only to an irreparable loss of our rare spiritual identity and a vast cultural heritage but has also created a socio- political chaos. Present research paper is an attempt to analyze the difference and interlinking of ‘Dharma’ and ‘Religion’.

The eighth-century Indian tantric master Padmasambhava, famed siddha (!བ་ཐོབ།) of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, has been the subject of decades of Western scholarship seeking to understand his place in the matrix of Tibetan history, culture, religion, and literature. This thesis contributes to that body of work by thematizing Padmasambhava’s gender as a key component in the development of his early myth in two formative narratives: Nyangrel Nyima Öser’s Copper Island Biography of Padmasambhava and Orgyen Lingpa’s The Testament of Padmasambhava. I draw upon Raewyn Connell’s concept of hegemonic masculinity to trace Padmasambhava’s gendered positionality in these early texts vis-à-vis his interactions and contestations with kings.

  • The Jaina Cult of Relic Stūpas
    The Jaina Cult of Relic Stūpas Peter Flügel1 (SOAS) Abstract This article gives an overview of recent findings on the thriving cult of bone relic stūpas in contemporary Jaina culture. Although Jaina doctrine rejects the worship of material objects, fieldwork in India on the hitherto unstudied current Jaina mortuary rituals furnished clear evidence for the ubiquity of bone relic stūpas and relic venera- tion across the Jaina sectarian spectrum. The article discusses a representative case and assesses the significance of the overall findings for the history of religions. It also offers a new theoretical explanation of the power of relics. Keywords Jaina relic stūpas, mortuary rituals, Vallabha Samudāya, cultural unconscious, theory of generalized symbolic media, relics as social forms 1) I am indebted to Ācārya Vijaya Virendra Sūri, Muni Rajendra Vijaya, Sādhvī Suvratā Śrī, Rāj Kumār Jain, Tejpāl Jain, Vinod N. Dalal, Kīrti Prasād Jain, N. P. Jain, S. Sheth, M. P. Sheth and other members and supporters of the Vallabha Samudāya for their generous help during field research in India, and to Janet Leigh Foster for enhancing the quality of the photos of images selected from the photo albums of the Vallabha Smāraka which were taken with permission. Without the support of Ācārya Mahāprajña, Ācārya Śivmuni, Pravartaka Umeśmuni, Salāhakāra Dineś Muni, Upap- ravartaka Gautama Muni, Sādhvī Ārcanā, Mūḍabidarī Bhatṭ ārakạ Cārukīrti, Sohanlāl Sañcetī, and other Jains in India, my research on Jaina relic stūpas would not have been possible. I would like to thank all of them. I also wish to express my gratitude to Bansidhar Bhatt, Willem B.
