  • Recently Noticed Inscription from Lohagadwadi Ancient Asia (Fort Lohagad), District Pune, Maharashtra, India
    Pradhan, S, et al. 2020. Recently Noticed Inscription from Lohagadwadi Ancient Asia (Fort Lohagad), District Pune, Maharashtra, India. Ancient Asia, 11: 1, pp. 1–7. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/aa.187 RESEARCH PAPER Recently Noticed Inscription from Lohagadwadi (Fort Lohagad), District Pune, Maharashtra, India Shrikant Pradhan*, Abhinav Kurkute† and Vivek Kale‡ In 1969 an early Jaina inscription was discovered from Pale cave, Taluka Mawal, District Pune, Maharashtra, by H.D. Sankalia and Shobhana Gokhale, Pune (1971: 67–69). It was an important discovery of an early Jaina inscription in western India. While studying the Pale inscription, both the authors had cited that “There must be many more such inscriptions, which need to be discovered.” Recently an inscription is noticed in one of the small rock-cut excavations group in fort Lohogad, Lohagadwadi by a group of trekking and exploration enthusiasts. While observing this inscription, it proposes some early characteristics of Brāhmī script. It is significant to mention that the Lohagadwadi inscription starts with ‘Namo arahaṁtānaṁ’ and the donor’s name Idarakhita. Interestingly, the inscription shows close affinity to the Pale cave inscription and proposes to be an important early inscription of Jainism in Maharashtra by the same donor mentioned in the Pale inscription. Probably, a small cave complex of Lohagadwadi, as primarily described in this article, dates back to the early rock-cut activity of Jainism in Maharashtra. Introduction eastern precipice, though both are located a little distance The well-known medieval fort of Lohagad is located from the above-mentioned excavations. Earlier, Burgess approximately 25 km south of Pale Cave.

  • Socio-Economic Conditions of Jains in Karnataka: a Study of Divergence Between Digambar and Svethambar Jains
    SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF JAINS IN KARNATAKA: A STUDY OF DIVERGENCE BETWEEN DIGAMBAR AND SVETHAMBAR JAINS Dr R G Desai* Edited by Dr Abdul Aziz Chair Professor Chair on Religious Minorities Centre for Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy National Law School of India University (NLSIU) Bengaluru 1 Introduction: Jainism is an original and ancient Indian religion which goes back to the pre-Aryan period of primitive currents of religious and metaphysical speculation. The images, seals and other finds amongst the discoveries at Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro disclose splendid representative specimen like the images of Risabha, the bull, the first Tirthankara with his emblem, the swastika which is the emblem of Suparsva, the 7th Tirthankara and a seal containing a script deciphered as Jinesvara. Jainism does not recognize the authority of the Vedas, and its fundamental principles are different by nature from those in each of the systems of the Vedic school. The Rigveda and Yajurveda refer to Risabha, Suparsva and Neminatha, the first, the seventh and twenty-second Tirthankaras respectively. It is a Pre-Vedic religion which flourished in India even before the advent of Aryans to India. Inscriptions: It is an established fact of history that many rulers in ancient Bihar and the territories around were either patrons or followers of Jainism. Chetaka, the ruler of Lichhavi, was a Jain and he gave his sister to Siddhartha. Mahavira was born of this wedlock. Some of the members of the Nanda dynasty were Jains. So was Chandragupta Maurya who later followed Acharya Bhadrabahu to the south. The Kalinga territory was occupied by Jains since the time of Parsva.

  • Jainism in Medieval India (1300-1800) Prologue
    JAINISM IN MEDIEVAL INDIA (1300-1800) PROLOGUE - English Translation by S.M. Pahedia It is essential to weigh the contemporary social and political background while considering the conditions and thriving of Jainism in mediaeval India. During this period, Indian society was traditionally divided into Hindu and Jain religion. Buddhism had well-nigh disappeared from Indian scenario. The Indian socio-cultural infrastructure faced sufficient change owing to the influence of Islam that infiltrated into India through the medium of the Arab, the Turk, the Mughal and the Afghan attacks. Though the new entrants too were by and large divided into Sunni, Shiya and Sufi sects, they were all bound firmly to Islam. Ofcourse, Islam brought in new life-values and life-styles in Indian life owing to which the inevitability for reconsidering the shape of social structure and traditional-philosophico facets was felt, perhaps very badly. And this very condition caused rise of some new sects like Bhakti, Saint and Sikh invigorated primarily by the Vedantist, Ramanuja, Madhav, Nimbark, Ramanand Chaitanya, Vallabha etc. With this cultural background, centuries old Digambara and Shavetambara amnay (tradition) was telling its own separate tale. Fore more than one reason, these branches were further divided into sects, sub-sects, ganas , gachchas , anvayas , sanghas & C. as time rolled by. Same way, Bhattaraka, Chaityavasi, Taranpanth, Sthanakvasi practices came into view introducing their own religious formalities, life-fashions, code of conduct, and to some extent the philosophical views. Such being the condition, Jainism of medioeval India witnessed its wide extension. At the same time, it met with certain difficulty also.
