Volume : 66 Issue No. : 66 Month : January, 2006 AHIMSA FOUNDATION WISHES A VERY HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2006 TO ALL THE ALL PATRONS & READERS TEMPLES PRESIDENT KALAM DECLARES OPEN FIRST MAHAMASTHAKABHISHEKA CEREMONY The hills of Vindhyagiri and Chandragiri in the town of Shravanabelagola resounded with chants of"Bhagawan Bahubali ki jai" as President A. P. J. Abdul Kalam on Sunday, 22nd January 2006 declared open the first Mahamastakabhisheka of the millennium and reiterated the relevance of the Jain tenets of non-violence in a strife-ridden world. Mr. Kalam said the practice of truth, ahimsa and vairagya that are the tenets of Jainism was relevant in modern times and the message of peace and non-violence as enunciated by Bahubali should be taken to all parts of the country. Addressing a vast gathering of Jain munis, nuns, acharyas and devotees who have assembled here from all parts of the world, the President said the spiritual congregation symbolised the continuity of a great tradition, which started in the 3rd century B.C. by Chandragupta Maurya, who settled here with 12,000 sages and munis performing austerities. It is a beautiful sight of people of multiple faiths and affiliations gathering to celebrate a great cultural event. The most sacred meaning of life consists of helping the establishment of peace and harmony on earth. This can only be achieved through the practice of truth, ahimsa and vairagya by all of us," the President said. The Mahamastakabhisheka is held once in 12 years and Sunday's inauguration marked the launching of the events and rituals that will lead up to the grand event of the anointment of the 57-foot statue that will be held Jainsamaj Matrimonial from February 8 to 19. -

Finally, my dream came true and after six years of my effort and with the help of some Jain community members in India, finally I have put together this document. It took me this long because I had to struggle to get lots of information and talked to many scholars, Sadhus in India to get information, particularly about Dev Devies, particularly 16 Vidya Devies, as this information is not available in original Jain scriptures. Dev Devies came about seventh century in the era of Sri Yasovijay Maharaj Saheb. He was the big sadhak of Sri Saraswati Devi. With the help of her sadhana, he convinced many Brahamins about Jain religion and philosophy. I would like to thank Dr. -
Indian Archaeology 1958-59 a Review
INDIAN ARCHAEOLOGY 1958-59 —A REVIEW EDITED BY A. GHOSH Director General of Archaeology in India DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA NEW DELHI 1959 Price Rs. 1000 or 16shillings COPYRIGHT DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA PRINTED AT THE CORONATION PRINTING WORKS, DELHI ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This sixth number of the annual Review tries to embody, like its predecessors, information on all archaeological activities in the country during the previous year. The varied sources of information are obvious in most cases: where they are not, they have, as far as possible, been suitably acknowledged. From the ready and unconditional response that I have all along been receiving to my request for material, it is obvious that it is realized at all quarters that the Review has been performing its intended function of publishing, within the least possible time, the essential archaeological news of the country. At the same time, as it incorporates news obtained from diverse sources, the assumption of responsibility by me, as the editor, for the accuracy of the news, much less of the interpretation thereof, is precluded. My sincerest thanks are due to all—officers of the Union Department of Archaeology and of the State Governments, heads of other organizations concerned with archaeology and individuals devoting themselves to archaeological pursuits— who have furnished me with material that is included in the Review and to those colleagues of mine in the Department who have assisted me in editing it and seeing it through the press.

Jainism in Medieval India (1300-1800) Prologue
JAINISM IN MEDIEVAL INDIA (1300-1800) PROLOGUE - English Translation by S.M. Pahedia It is essential to weigh the contemporary social and political background while considering the conditions and thriving of Jainism in mediaeval India. During this period, Indian society was traditionally divided into Hindu and Jain religion. Buddhism had well-nigh disappeared from Indian scenario. The Indian socio-cultural infrastructure faced sufficient change owing to the influence of Islam that infiltrated into India through the medium of the Arab, the Turk, the Mughal and the Afghan attacks. Though the new entrants too were by and large divided into Sunni, Shiya and Sufi sects, they were all bound firmly to Islam. Ofcourse, Islam brought in new life-values and life-styles in Indian life owing to which the inevitability for reconsidering the shape of social structure and traditional-philosophico facets was felt, perhaps very badly. And this very condition caused rise of some new sects like Bhakti, Saint and Sikh invigorated primarily by the Vedantist, Ramanuja, Madhav, Nimbark, Ramanand Chaitanya, Vallabha etc. With this cultural background, centuries old Digambara and Shavetambara amnay (tradition) was telling its own separate tale. Fore more than one reason, these branches were further divided into sects, sub-sects, ganas , gachchas , anvayas , sanghas & C. as time rolled by. Same way, Bhattaraka, Chaityavasi, Taranpanth, Sthanakvasi practices came into view introducing their own religious formalities, life-fashions, code of conduct, and to some extent the philosophical views. Such being the condition, Jainism of medioeval India witnessed its wide extension. At the same time, it met with certain difficulty also. -

The Tantra -$Uddha of Bhattaraka-Sri-Vedottama a Translation and Commentary
THE TANTRA -$UDDHA OF BHATTARAKA-SRI-VEDOTTAMA A TRANSLATION AND COMMENTARY By David John Fern B.A., The University of Calgary, 1977 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Department of Asian Studies We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 1989 © David John Fern, 1989 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. 1 further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of f-JSlftf^ QTooieJ The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date A^<<- ^ ^9 DE-6 (2/88) Tantra-tfuddha Abstract This thesis is a translation of and commentary on the Tantra-iuddha (Purity of the System), a 14th century (circa) Sanskrit philosophical monograph defending the religious validity of the Pancaratra school. The work is attributed to a Sri Bhattaraka-sn-vedottama. Set in the framework of a debate between two Mimamsaka disputants the text follows the "objection- response" (purva-paksa - uttara-paksa) format so characteristic of the genre. I have divided the work into three more or less cohesive sections. In the first the author is faced with the problem of justifying the validity of his school and its smrti in the absence of confirmation by a §ruti. -
