  • Chapter One an Introduction to Jainism and Theravada
    CHAPTER ONE AN INTRODUCTION TO JAINISM AND THERAVADA BUDDfflSM CHAPTER-I An Introduction to Jainism and Theravada Buddhism 1. 0. History of Jainism "Jainism is a system of faith and worship. It is preached by the Jinas. Jina means a victorious person".' Niganthavada which is mentioned in Buddhist literature is believed to be "Jainism". In those days jinas perhaps claimed themselves that they were niganthas. Therefore Buddhist literature probably uses the term 'nigantha' for Jinas. According to the definition of "Kilesarahita mayanti evamvaditaya laddhanamavasena nigantho" here nigantha (S. nkgrantha) means those who claimed that they are free from all bonds.^ Jainism is one of the oldest religions of the world. It is an independent and most ancient religion of India. It is not correct to say that Jainism was founded by Lord Mahavlra. Even Lord Parsva cannot be regarded as the founder of this great religion. It is equally incorrect to maintain that Jainism is nothing more than a revolt against the Vedic religion. The truth is that Jainism is quite an independent religion. It has its own peculiarities. It is flourishing on this land from times immemorial. Among Brahmanic and i^ramanic trends, Jainism, like Buddhism, represents ^ramanic culture. In Buddhist literatures, we can find so many 'GJ, 1 ^ DNA-l, P. 104 informations about Jainism. The Nigantha Nataputta is none else but Lord Mahavlra.^ 1.1. Rsabhadeva According to tradition, Jainism owes its origin to Rsabha, the first among the twenty-four Tirthankaras. The rest of the Trrthahkaras are said to have revived and revealed this ancient faith from time to time.

  • Vi Current Fundamental Issues 1. Growing Religious
    VI CURRENT FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES 1. GROWING RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS The important problem, which is undermining the strength of the Jaina community for the last so many centuries, is the existence of various religious divisions in the community. Up to the days of Lord Mahavira and even for some centuries later the Jaina Church remained one and undivided though some minor schisms had taken place during and after the time of Lord Mahavira. About the end of the first century A.D. the Jaina Church was finally split up into two rival sects which have vigorously maintained the rivalry to the present day. The two main sects, viz. the Digambara and the Shvetambara, were later kin split up into major and minor sub-sects some of which were revolutionary in the sense that they opposed the established practice of idol worship. Apart from the division of the Jaina Church into sects, and sub-sects, the Jainas were further divided, on a religious basis, into several sections and sub-sections like Sangha, Gana, Gachchha and Shakha. The Jainas did not stop with the creation of a large number of sects, sub-sects, sections and sub-sections in the community, but persistently made and are still making them by various means to perpetuate these divisions. Only a few wend places an common to both be Digambaras and the Shvetambaras, while each sect possesses its own numerous sacred places. Even those few common sacred places have, for all these years, become a constant bone of contention between the two sects as each sect tries to establish its claim of ownership over them by both fair and foul means.

  • Nay Or Jain Nyay 2: Logic of Atheism of Jain Dharm
    Philosophy Study, February 2016, Vol. 6, No. 2, 69-87 doi: 10.17265/2159-5313/2016.02.002 D DAVID PUBLISHING Nay or Jain Nyay 2: Logic of Atheism of Jain Dharm Mahendra Kumar Jain, Agam Jain University of Delaware Ethos and logos of the Jain thought and practice (world view) is based on reality perceived by senses. Atheistic roots of Jain Dharm have nourished growth, maintained viability and vitality, and kept it relevant for over the last five millennia. Unlike Judeo-Christian-Islam or Brahminical faith, it does not rely on omniscient supreme or god. Its atheistic and anti-theistic thrust is generally known, yet its followers do not call themselves Nastik (non-believers). They emphasize action-consequence relations as guide for successful behaviors with ethical conduct. The basis of their arguments follows from the Jain logic (Saptbhangi Syad Nay) of evidence based inference with multiple orthogonal affirmed assertions (Jain 2011). It conserves information by acknowledging the remaining doubt in an inference. It does not assume binary complementation to force closure for deduction with incomplete knowledge which leads to self-reference and loss of information. This approach offers a rational and practical alternative to conundrum of western atheism even though its arguments are logical and consistent with available evidence. It also obviates need to extract religious morality from social mores. Objective truth and knowledge of established generalizations is necessary but not sufficient for subjective searches to shape desires and for what the future ought to be. Keywords: Atheism, Mahaveer (Mahavira), Jainism, Jains, Omniscience, Nay, Jain Nyay, Nyaya, Tirthankar, Arhat, Arihant, conflict resolution, nonviolence, truthfulness, Buddha (Buddh), nothingness (Shoonyata), limitations of binary logic, logic of inference, Saptbhangi Syad Nay 1.

  • III RELIGIOUS SPLITS 1. RISE of SECTIONS in JAINISM from The
    III RELIGIOUS SPLITS 1. RISE OF SECTIONS IN JAINISM From the history of Jaina religion upto Mahavira it appears that sects and sub-sects had not arisen till that time. But later on we find that various schisms arose in Jaina religion as a result of which Jainism was divided into several sects and sub-sects. There were various reasons which contributed to the splitting of Jainism in small sects and sub- sects. 1. Increase in the extent of Jainism In the first place it may be mentioned that during the lifetime of Mahavira the spread of Jainism was limited, but after the Nirvana of Mahavira. his successors and followers succeeded to a large extent in popularising the religion throughout the length and breadth of India, so that it did not fail to enlist for a long period the support of kings as well as commoners. As the number of adherents to the Jaina religion fast increased and as they were scattered practically in all parts of the country, the Acharyas, that is, the religious leaders, and the religious pontiffs must have found it very difficult to look after and organise their followers. Naturally, different conditions, customs, manners and ways of life prevailing in different parts of the country in different periods of time might have influenced in giving rise to various religious practices which might have ultimately resulted in creating factions among the followers of Jainism. 2. Interpretation of Jaina Canons Secondly, the religious doctrines, principles and tenets of Jainism of they were enunciated and taught by Mahavira were not committed to writing during the lifetime of Mahavira or immediately after his Nirvana.

  • The Emperor's Humbler Clothes
    SYLVIA HOUGHTELING THE EMPEROR’S HUMBLER CLOTHES Textures of Courtly Dress in Seventeenth- century South Asia Abstract This study reconstructs the humbler components of South Asian courtly ensembles worn by the greatest Mughal emperors, which included relatively inexpensive tie-dyed cloths made in Rajasthan and finely spun cotton muslins from Bengal. Court biographies, popular lexicons, and the letters sent from the Mughal court to its Rajput allies reveal that the fabrics used for dress in early modern South Asia were valued for sensory qualities, such as softness, saturation of color, and coolness on the skin, that went beyond the cost of the materials or the sophistication of the technology used to produce them. This project transports the study of dress in early modern South Asia beyond its current focus on the material wealth of imperial costumes to recover the sensory experience of wearing airy cotton and velvety wool, as well as the sophisticated intellectual, poetic, and political messages that could be carried in the fabric of a courtly coat. In his 1641 autobiography, the Jain merchant Banarasidas described the ways in which the tex- ture of life changed in the north Indian city of Jaunpur following news of the death of Emperor Akbar in 1605. “The people, bereft of their emperor, felt orphaned and hopeless,” he wrote.1 The wealthy feared that chaos would descend; they buried their jewelry and sealed their doors.

Vardhamana Mahavira - Life Vardhamana Mahavira was born in 599 BCE in a village near Vaishali (Capital of Videha). He is considered to be a contemporary of the Buddha. His father was the head of a famous Kshatriya clan and his mother, a Lichchhavi princess. They were connected with the royal family of Magadha; high connections made it easy for Mahavira to approach princes and nobles in the course of his mission. In the beginning, Mahavira led the life of a householder but in search of the truth, he abandoned the world at the age of 30 and became an ascetic. He wandered for 12 years practising severe austerities, fasting and meditation. At the age of 42, he attained perfect/infinite knowledge (kevalajnana), on the banks of the Rijupalika river. He propagated his religion for 30 years. Through kevalajnana, he conquered misery and happiness. Because of this conquest, he is known as 'Mahavira' or The Great Hero or 'Jina' i.e, the conqueror and his followers as 'Jainas'.
