1-15 a SHORT HISTORY of JAINA LAW1 Peter Flügel the Nine
International Journal of Jaina Studies (Online) Vol. 3, No. 4 (2007) 1-15 A SHORT HISTORY OF JAINA LAW1 Peter Flügel The nineteenth century English neologism ‘Jaina law’ is a product of colonial legal intervention in India from 1772 onwards. 'Jaina law' suggests uniformity where in reality there is a plurality of scriptures, ethical and legal codes, and customs of sect, caste, family and region. The contested semantics of the term reflect alternative attempts by the agents of the modern Indian legal system and by Jain reformers to restate traditional Jain concepts. Four interpretations of the modern term 'Jaina law' can be distinguished: (i) 'Jaina law' in the widest sense signifies the doctrine and practice of jaina dharma, or Jaina ‘religion’. (ii) In a more specific sense it points to the totality of conventions (vyavahāra) and law codes (vyavasthā) in Jaina monastic and lay traditions.2 Sanskrit vyavasthā and its Arabic and Urdu equivalent qānūn both designate a specific code of law or legal opinion/decision, whereas Sanskrit dharma can mean religion, morality, custom and law. (iii) The modern Indian legal system is primarily concerned with the 'personal law' of the Jaina laity. In Anglo-Indian case law, the term 'Jaina law' was used both as a designation for 'Jain scriptures' (śāstra) on personal law, and for the unwritten 'customary laws' of the Jains, that is the social norms of Jain castes (jāti) and clans (gotra). (iv) In 1955/6 Jaina personal law was submerged under the statutory 'Hindu Code', and is now only indirectly recognised by the legal system in the form of residual Jain 'customs' to be proved in court. -

Right to Religious Die in India's Jain Concept Sallekhana
Vol-5 Issue-3 2019 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 Right to religious Die in India’s Jain concept sallekhana Dr. Kumari Bharti Jamshedpur Women’s College, Jamshedpur,India Department of Philosophy Abstract The article examines salekhana. The Jain religious ritual of fasting to death from the Indian legal and ethical perspectives. The concept of sallekhana is an important contribution of the Jains to biosocial ethics Jainism is the world’s most ancient religious and jain monks lead a life of extreme austerity and renunciation. Santhara also known as sallekhana is a controversial practice in which a jain gives up food and water with intention of preparing for death. Sallekhana is facing death by an ascetic or a layman voluntarily when he is nearing his end and when normal life is not possible due to old age incurable disease etc. In 2015, Rajasthan High court banned the practice calling it suicide on 24 August 2015, members of the Jain community held a peaceful natiouid protest against the ban on santhara. Protest were held in various state like Rajasthan Gujrat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharasthra, Delhi etc. Silent marches were carried out in various cities. On 31 August 2015 Supreme Court of India stayed the decision of Rajasthan High Court and lifted the ban on sallekhana. The object of the present. Paper is to give a brief outline of the Jaina concept of sallekhana and evaluate it in the light of contemporary discussion. Some has criticized this vow. Externally critics might identity it with suicide or euthanasia. But one must not be misguided by external procedure of its observance. -
The Jaina Cult of Relic Stūpas
The Jaina Cult of Relic Stūpas Peter Flügel1 (SOAS) Abstract This article gives an overview of recent findings on the thriving cult of bone relic stūpas in contemporary Jaina culture. Although Jaina doctrine rejects the worship of material objects, fieldwork in India on the hitherto unstudied current Jaina mortuary rituals furnished clear evidence for the ubiquity of bone relic stūpas and relic venera- tion across the Jaina sectarian spectrum. The article discusses a representative case and assesses the significance of the overall findings for the history of religions. It also offers a new theoretical explanation of the power of relics. Keywords Jaina relic stūpas, mortuary rituals, Vallabha Samudāya, cultural unconscious, theory of generalized symbolic media, relics as social forms 1) I am indebted to Ācārya Vijaya Virendra Sūri, Muni Rajendra Vijaya, Sādhvī Suvratā Śrī, Rāj Kumār Jain, Tejpāl Jain, Vinod N. Dalal, Kīrti Prasād Jain, N. P. Jain, S. Sheth, M. P. Sheth and other members and supporters of the Vallabha Samudāya for their generous help during field research in India, and to Janet Leigh Foster for enhancing the quality of the photos of images selected from the photo albums of the Vallabha Smāraka which were taken with permission. Without the support of Ācārya Mahāprajña, Ācārya Śivmuni, Pravartaka Umeśmuni, Salāhakāra Dineś Muni, Upap- ravartaka Gautama Muni, Sādhvī Ārcanā, Mūḍabidarī Bhatṭ ārakạ Cārukīrti, Sohanlāl Sañcetī, and other Jains in India, my research on Jaina relic stūpas would not have been possible. I would like to thank all of them. I also wish to express my gratitude to Bansidhar Bhatt, Willem B. -
The Birth of Jainism Mahavira the Path-Maker
JAINISM - RESPECT FOR ALL LIFE: By Myrtle Langley For a religion of only 3 million people, almost all of whom live in India, Jainism has wielded an influence out of all proportion to its size and its distribution. This influence has been felt most keenly in the modern world through Mahatma Gandhi. Although not himself a Jain, he grew up among Jains and embraced their most distinctive doctrine; non-violence to living beings (Ahimsa). But the influence of Jainism has also been felt in the Jain contribution to India’s banking and commercial life. As Buddhists are followers of the Buddha (the enlightened one), so Jains are the followers of the Jina (the conqueror), a title applied to Vardhamana, last of the great Jain teachers. It is applied also to those men and women who, having conquered their passions and emotions, have achieved liberation and attained perfection. And so the very name Jainism indicates the predominantly ethical character of this religion. THE BIRTH OF JAINISM The period from the seventh to the fifth centuries BC was a turning point in the intellectual and spiritual development of the whole world: it produced, among others, the early Greek philosophers, the great Hebrew prophets, Confucius in China and Zoroaster in Persia. For north India, the sixth century BC was a time of particular social, political and intellectual ferment. The older and more familiar tribal structure of society was disintegrating. In its place were appearing a few great regional kingdoms and a number of smaller tribal groupings known, as republics. These kept some of the characteristics of tribal structure but had little political power, being dependent on the largest of the kingdoms. -
