January, 2011
Volume : 126 Issue No. : 126 Month : January, 2011 My soul characterised by knowledge and faith is alone eternal. All other phases of my existence to which I am attached are external occurrences that are transitory. Mahavira (Niyamasara, 99) TEMPLES SEVERAL HINDU AND JAIN TEMPLES FACE DEMOLITION IN THE MANGALORE AREA Mangalore, The Supreme Court has stated that 1,201 Hindu and 17 Jain places of worship are currently under threat of being demolished because they are considered to be religious institutions that are located in public places and apparently fall under a list of unauthorized religious construction. Mohan Gowda, Hindu Jana Jagruti Vedike spokesperson stated that the government has decided to go ahead with demolishing this large number of religious structures. The verdict of the Supreme Court clearly states that all religious structures that are built after December 7, 2009 must be demolished and most of these religious structures are Hindu temples across Mangalore. With regards to those places of worship built before December 7, 2009–they will be examined case by case before a decision is made for whether they will become regularized structures, relocated or demolished. A very short notice has been given with no opportunity for appeal and the state government in its affidavit to the Supreme Court has agreed to clear all illegal religious structures by the end of this month. Gowda further stated that although the Supreme Court has allowed for temples that are over 30 years old to be regularized, the Karnataka government is simply seeking to demolish because the process of regularizing will be time consuming and not worth their time. -

Ltd. Udaipur ii Dedicated to My son Raju Whose departure proved a turning point in my life That changed the course from Professionalism to spiritualism iii Publisher’s Note Sacred books written or compiled by Jain Acharyas are the rich source of knowledge. These texts and the commentaries written by later Acharyas are now being studied by monks and scholars in various contexts. These sources provide us guidelines and directions for meaningful living, searching the purpose of life and knowing the nature and its interactions with the living beings. The religious texts are studied from the following points of views: 1. Spiritual. The texts were primarily composed for giving the human beings the knowledge for making spiritual progress ultimately leading to the state of permanent bliss. 2. History. The texts provide historical information about the ancient period. 3. Culture and art. The texts contain information on culture and art of those times. 4. Science. The texts contain a treasure of knowledge about the realities of nature and its interaction with the life of living beings. This branch of knowledge earlier studied as philosophy is now known as science. -
THE WORLD of CONQUERORS the History, Literature, Religion and Culture of the Jains
SUBJECT: THE WORLD OF CONQUERORS The history, literature, religion and culture of the Jains A thesis submitted to The Intercultural Open University Opeinde, The Netherlands By Dr Natubhai Shah For the doctoral degree In Jain Religion DEDICATION AS A MARK OF RESPECT AND DEVOTION TO AACAARYA VIJAY VALLABHSURISVARJI WHOSE VISION FOR THE JAIN COMMUNITY FOR EMPIRICAL AND SPIRITUAL EDUCATION HAS TRANSFORMED THOUSANDS OF YOUNG JAINS AS SUCCESSFUL CITIZENS OF THE WORLD 2 ABSTRACT ainism is the oldest extant religion in Eurasia but it is the least known in J the West. Although its teachings are as relevant in our own day as they were in the days of Mahavira who revived it more than two and half millennia ago, why this should be is almost certainly due to its small number of adherents in India: four millions plus (Jain leaders estimate twelve million and claim that it was much larger in earlier centuries of Common Era) out of a total population of nearly a billion. Jainism possesses a unique all-embracing precept from which all else flows: ahimsaa. Ahimsaa means ‘non-violence and reverence for all life’ a precept that forms the core of Jain theology; for Jains, both ascetic and lay, and it is the fundamental belief that governs their behaviour. This is supplemented by aparigraha (non-attachment to worldly possessions) and anenkaantavaada (multiplicity of views) This dissertation aims to analyse the role of Jain beliefs from their evolution in the mists of antiquity, through their reformulation by Mahavira, the last of the twenty four luminaries of Jainism in the sixth century BCE, and their historical influence on Jains and beyond up to our own times. -
Demographic Trends in Jaina Monasticism
12 DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS IN JAINA MONASTICISM Peter Flügel The study of Jainism as a living religion is still hampered by a lack of reliable sociological and demographic information both on the Jain laity and Jain mendicants.1 Most empirical studies to date have been thematically oriented or were of an exploratory nature. They were based on the methods advanced by the classical anthropological village studies or on small surveys of a non- representative nature.2 In both cases, the units of investigation were defined in terms of observer categories3 which were often created ad hoc in the field due to the advantages of snowball sampling under conditions of limited resources. In a paper read at the American Oriental Society Meeting in 1978, at a time when comprehensive field studies had yet to be conducted, the late Kendall Folkert (1993: 156) suggested avoiding the inevitable abstractions of ‘general accounts of the Jains’ by concentrating on ‘the smaller divisions within the tradition’ which ‘have actually been the basic units of the tradition’. What Folkert had in mind was to study the individual ‘schools, sects or orders’ (gaccha) of the Jain mendicant tradition,4 rather than ‘Jain religious culture’ in general.5 Certainly, not all Jains coalesce around monastic groups, but the majority does so in one way or another. The investigation of categories which are recognised by the Jains themselves promises indeed to yield testable results of greater accuracy and relevance for the Jain community itself. However, the research programme envisaged -

A FIFTEENTH-CENTURY DIGAMBAR JAIN MYSTIC and HIS FOLLOWERS* Taraj Taraj Svami and the Taraj Svami Panth
11 A FIFTEENTH-CENTURY DIGAMBAR JAIN MYSTIC AND HIS FOLLOWERS* Taraj Taraj Svami and the Taraj Svami Panth John E. Cort For many years, scholarship on the Jains paid too little attention to the historical, social and geographical contexts within which “Jainism” has always been embedded. At best one might find a general discussion of the philosophical differences between the broad groupings of Fvetambar and Digambar. These two “sects,” however, have never been unified social groups, and one looked in vain for substantial discussion of the actual sectarian divisions that defined Jain society.1 In recent years there has been a sea change in this situation, as detailed studies have been published on sectarian groups among the Fvetambars such as the Kharatara Gaccha, Tapa Gaccha, Añcala (Acala) Gaccha, Kadua Gaccha, Lokka Gaccha, Sthanakavasis, and Terapanthis. But to date there has been little attention to the sectarian divisions among the Digambars. There are two areas in which such studies are needed. One involves a clearer understanding of the cultural and ritual differences between the northern Digambar communities of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and northern Maharashtra on the one hand, and the southern Digambar communities of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and southern Maharashtra on the other.2 The other area involves a clearer understanding of the history, and differences of ideology, ritual, and social organization among the three older sectarian divisions in northern and central India, the Bis Panth, Tera Panth, and Taraj Svami Panth, as well as the twentieth and twenty-first century followers of Kanji Svami and Frimad Rajcandra.3 In this chapter I essay a beginning at addressing a part of the second lacuna, with an outline of some of the features of the Taraj Svami Panth (also called the Taraj Panth and Taraj Samaj) of Bundelkhand in central India. -
