THESE notes on Jain ism have been compiled mainly from information supplied to me by Gujarati speaking Jaina, so it has seemed advisable to use the Gujarati forms of their technical terms. It would be impossible to issue this little book without expressing my indebtedness to the Rev. G. P. Taylor, D. D., Principal of the Fleming Stevenson Divinity College, Ahmedabad, who placed all the resources of his valuable library at my disposal, and also to the various Jaina friends who so courteously bore with my interminable questionings. I am specially grateful to a learned Jaina gentleman who read through all the MS. with me, and thereby saved me, I hope, from some of the numerous pitfalls which beset the pathway of anyone who ventures to explore an alien faith.

SHIVANANDANAGAR—249 192 Distt. Tehri-Garhwal, Uttaranchal, Himalayas, India. OM Dedicated to all selfless, motiveless, disinterested workers of the world who are struggling hard to get knowledge of the Self by purifying their minds, by getting Chitta Suddhi through Nishkama Karma Yoga OM PUBLISHERS’ NOTE The nectar-like teachings of His Holiness Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati, the incomparable saint of the Himalayas, famous in song and legend, are too well-known to the intelligent public as well as to the earnest aspirant of knowledge Divine. Their aim and object is nothing but emancipation from the wheel of births and deaths through absorption of the Jiva with the supreme Soul. Now, this emancipation can be had only through right knowledge. It is an undisputed fact that it is almost a Herculean task for the man in the street, blinded as he is by worldly desires of diverse kinds, to forge his way to realisation of God. Not only is it his short-sightedness that stands in the way but innumerable other difficulties and obstacles hamper the progress onward towards the goal. He is utterly helpless until someone who has successfully trodden the path, comes to his aid or rescue, takes him by the hand, leads him safely through the inextricable traps and pitfalls of worldly temptation and desires, and finally brings him to his destination which is the crowning glory of the be-all and end-all of life, where all suffering ceases and all quest comes to an end.

(ïIve»qaXvirk«tm!) lakshmI sahasram Stbk> 6 àyÆ (yÆ) Stbk> stabakam 6 prayatna (yatna) stabakam INTRODUCTION BY SRI. V. SADAGOPAN: This stabakam is entitled Yatna (Prayatna) stabakam. Yatnam means an effort, an endeavour to accomplish some thing. We have to strive, if we have some desired goals. Things won’t fall in one's lap without any Yatnam/Prayatnam. If the desired fruit is not achieved, there is no dosham (blemish): “yatna krte na sidhyati ko atra dosha:?”. One has to persevere however with diligence on what one has deliberately chosen. Yatnam also means effort like the word yatanam. Both words are derived from the root “yat” meaning to attempt or to endeavour. The words of wisdom taught to us are: All with a big family should strive to assemble wealth, when they are at an age enjoying perfect health (sarva: kalye vayasi yatate labdum arthAn kuDumbhI). This reminds us of VarAha carama Slokam, when the Lord advises us to think of Him, when one's body is strong and mind is clear instead of waiting for the time, when one is unconscious like a log or 1 stone during the last moments of one's life.

    Politics and Religion: The Need for an Overlapping Consensus (an exemplar from the Hindu tradition) A.D.J. Desai Submitted for the degree of PhD. 1 ABSTRACT Politics and Religion: The Need for an Overlapping Consensus (an exemplar from the Hindu Tradition) This Thesis examines the consensus Hinduism in India shares with the ideology of liberal pluralism, and applies these reflections to religious education in the English context. The Rawlsian theory of justice models the political structure of a liberal plural society. Insights from communitarianism, relativism and Alasdair Maclntyre, are critically assessed and used to enlarge this model. Further, Carol Gilligan and Tom Kitwood emphasise that moral citizens in a plural society need, and must provide, a caring and open environment. The overlapping consensus across liberal pluralism and the Hindu tradition is assessed at the (i) theological and (ii) empirical levels. (i) Vedantic concepts are formulated to highlight a potentially strong consensus across Vedantic and liberal viewpoints. The presentation of God as a caring and egalitarian mother is emphasised. (ii) A landscape survey (sample size 550) was conducted to help focus the case-study investigations. Case-studies of four Indian young Hindus studied attitudes towards pluralism through discussions on Ayodhya 1992. The minute sample size of the case- study meant that this data could not, in itself, justify inductive generalisation. Nevertheless, the case-studies did highlight some important and disconcerting voices, and did not contradict the conclusions from the larger landscape survey. The data warns that contemporary sentiment may be incongruent with the potentially strong consensus across liberal pluralism and Vedantic theology.

    JAIN PART2 Page 1 of 123 A Treatise On Jainism By - Shri Jayatilal S. Sanghvi (Title page, Forward, Preface, and Contents are mistakenly not computerized. It will be added later on.) CHAPTER I THE JAIN RELIGION The religion which enjoins adoration and worship of Jinas or the religion which is propounded by Jinas is knows as the Jain religion. Jina means one who has conquered the internal enemies and impurities of the soul like attachment (raga) and hatred (dwesha). He is known as Parmatma (the great soul), Sarvajna (omniscient), and Savadarshee (omnipotent). Such Jinas have been in existence from times immemorial. No beginning can be traced for them, and the Jain Religion has also no beginning. It is a very ancient religion. It teaches us to become Jina and those who follow it are called Jains. According to Jain conception the period of time consists of two cycles, ascending (utsarpinee) and descending (avasarpini). In each of these two cycles, twenty-four Tirthankaras (Jinas) came into existence. They are called Tirthankaras because they are to become the propounders of the sacred order of religion. The last Tirthankar was Lord Mahavir. Some say that Lord Mahavir was the founder of Jainism, but this is incorrect. Twenty-three Tirthankaras existed before Lord Mahavir flourished. In their times Jainism also flourished and before that also Jainism existed. By their extraordinary perception and knowledge, Tirthankaras who come from time to time, bring the fundamental principles into light again. They preach them, propound them, and also spread them. The souls of Tirthankaras, from the very moment of their births, are gifted with superb knowledge and are very highly meritorious.
