Volume : 48 Issue No. : 48 Month : July, 2004
Volume : 48 Issue No. : 48 Month : July, 2004 "A true monk is one who is not proud of his own lineage, beauty, gains and scriptural knowledge. Thus discarding all pride, he remains deeply immersed in the spiritual contemplation." JAIN SAINTS ACHARYA MAHAPRAGYA'S MESSAGE TO DR. MANMOHAN SINGh- THE NEW PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA One cannot think of a healthy individual and healthy society in the absence of healthy economic order. We consider your elevation as the Prime Minister of India an indication of a bright future for the country. You are capable of transforming the economic order of this country in such a way that the people living below the poverty line may fulfil their basic needs and may stay away from the line of affluence. In the course of our long Ahimsa Yatra the heart-rending spectacle of starving tribals that we saw in villages cannot even be imagined by those who live in towns and cities. Unless the ever-increasing gulf between the economic system and morality is bridged, economic prosperity may be beneficial for some people but not for all. I firmly believe that the transfer of power into the hands of a worthy person like you will pave the way for the creation of a healthy society. It is a fact that paucity of money is the cause of increasing violence in society, but it is also a fact that the impact of economic affluence is no less responsible for this spurt of violence. The greatest solution of the problem of the present lies in an economic system as well as in a social order which might be free from both poverty and plenty. -
Paper: Geoc-201(Social and Cultural Geography) Topics: Major Religious Group: World and India; Nature of Agricultural and Urban - Industrial Society
SUBJECT: GEOGRAPHY SEMESTER: UG 2nd (H) PAPER: GEOC-201(SOCIAL AND CULTURAL GEOGRAPHY) TOPICS: MAJOR RELIGIOUS GROUP: WORLD AND INDIA; NATURE OF AGRICULTURAL AND URBAN - INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY MAJOR RELIGIOUS GROUPS OF INDIA Religion in India is characterised by a diversity of religious beliefs and practices. India is officially a secular state and has no state religion. The Indian subcontinent is the birthplace of four of the world's major religions; namely Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. According to the 2011 census, 79.8% of the population of India practices Hinduism, 14.2% adheres to Islam, 2.3% adheres to Christianity, 1.7% adheres to Sikhism, and 0.7% adheres to Buddhism. Zoroastrianism, Sanamahism and Judaism also have an ancient history in India, and each has several thousands of Indian adherents. Throughout India's history, religion has been an important part of the country's culture. Religious diversity and religious tolerance are both established in the country by the law and custom; the Constitution of India has declared the right to freedom of religion to be a fundamental right. Today, India is home to around 94% of the global population of Hindus. Most Hindu shrines and temples are located in India, as are the birthplaces of most Hindu saints. Prayagraj (formerly known as Allahabad) hosts the world's largest religious pilgrimage, Prayag Kumbh Mela, where Hindus from across the world come together to bath in the confluence of three sacred rivers of India: the Ganga, the Yamuna, and the Saraswati. The Indian diaspora in the West has popularized many aspects of Hindu philosophy such as yoga, meditation, Ayurvedic medicine, divination, karma, and reincarnation.The influence of Indian religions has been significant all over the world. -

(2011) 1-22 Temples and Patrons the Nineteenth
International Journal of Jaina Studies (Online) Vol. 7, No. 2 (2011) 1-22 TEMPLES AND PATRONS THE NINETEENTH-CENTURY TEMPLE OF MOTĪŚĀH AT ŚATRUÑJAYA1 Hawon Ku Introduction Śatruñjaya, renowned for its Jain temples, is located next to the town of Pālitāṇā, Gujarat (Plate 1). Currently there are more than a hundred and fifty freestanding temples and countless shrines on the hill, which rises six hundred meters from the surrounding plains. While Śatruñjaya is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Śvetāmbara Jains, James Burgess’ survey of 1869, which covers the history of Jainism, Śatruñjaya and its architecture, still remains the most comprehensive study of the site.2 The lack of studies of the site can be explained by several reasons, including the recentness of many temples at the site. Multiple legends date temples at Śatruñjaya to the age of the Tīrthaṅkaras.3 However, only during the modern period did the site acquire its current form. The majority of surviving temples at Śatruñjaya were either renovated or newly built during 1 This paper was presented under the title “Reconstruction of Jain Identity: The Nineteenth-century Reconstructions at Śatrunjaya, Gujarat” at the Jaina Studies Workshop at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London in March 2004. Since submitting this paper for publication in an edited volume, an article discussing similar issues has been published in Korean. 2 Apart from Burgess’ book one exception is Kañchansāgarsūri’s account of Śatruñjaya, which was originally published in Gujarati and translated into English in 1978. In his introduction, Kañchansāgarsūri 1982: 5 mentions that Burgess’ work “inspired” him to write this book, and that “if a foreigner could do it [that is, publish a book on Śatruñjaya] before 100 years, he really deserves a lot of appreciation”. -
