  • Lord Mahavira Publisher's Note
    LORD MAHAVIRA [A study in Historical Perspective] BY BOOL CHAND, M.A. Ph.D (Lond.) P. V. Research Institute Series: 39 Editor: Dr. Sagarmal Jain With an introduction by Prof. Sagarmal Jain P.V. RESEARCH INSTITUTE Varanasi-5 Published by P.V. Research Institute I.T.I. Road Varanasi-5 Phone:66762 2nd Edition 1987 Price Rs.40-00 Printed by Vivek Printers Post Box No.4, B.H.U. Varanasi-5 PUBLISHER’S NOTE 1 Create PDF with PDF4U. If you wish to remove this line, please click here to purchase the full version The book ‘Lord Mahavira’, by Dr. Bool Chand was first published in 1948 by Jaina Cultural Research Society which has been merged into P.V. Research Institute. The book was not only an authentic piece of work done in a historical perspective but also a popular one, hence it became unavailable for sale soon. Since long it was so much in demand that we decided in favor of brining its second Edition. Except some minor changes here and there, the book remains the same. Yet a precise but valuable introduction, depicting the relevance of the teachings of Lord Mahavira in modern world has been added by Dr. Sagarmal Jain, the Director, P.V. Research Institute. As Dr. Jain has pointed out therein, the basic problems of present society i.e. mental tensions, violence and the conflicts of ideologies and faith, can be solved through three basic tenets of non-attachment, non-violence and non-absolutism propounded by Lord Mahavira and peace and harmony can certainly be established in the world.

  • Gommaṭa Rāya’ – Article on Shravanabelagola’S Gommateshwara Statue by Dr S
    ‘GOMMAṬA RĀYA’ – ARTICLE ON SHRAVANABELAGOLA’S GOMMATESHWARA STATUE BY DR S. SRIKANTA SASTRI “Gommaṭa Rāya” by Dr S. Srikanta Sastri The ancient sacred place of the Jainas in South India, sometimes called Jaina Badari, was the Kaṭavapra or Kalbappu giri, later called Sravana Belagola or Sramana Belagola and Sukla Tirtha in the Jaina scriptures. Even as early as the Mauryan age its fame had spread in Northern India and tradition asserts that the great emperor Chandragupta Maurya and his preceptor Bhadrabahu Srutakevali came and resided here for twelve years. Chandragupta is said to have passed away here and a cave at Sravanabelagola is named after him. Regarding the historicity of this episode, Fleet and others were skeptical. That the tradition is at least as old as the 7th century A. D. is proved by the Sravanabelagola inscriptions and literary works. Therefore there is nothing inherently improbable in the tradition and much stronger evidence must be produced before we can endorse Fleet’s opinion that it was Ekangadhara Bhadrabahu and Guptigupta of about the first century A. D. who were associated with Sravanabelagola. Through the succeeding early centuries of the Christian Era, Kaṭavapra was the sacred Tirtha attracting Jaina Sadhus of different Sakhas and different parts of India. The inscriptions of about 700 A. D. mention the names of several saints who ended their days here. The surnames Kirti, Sena, Deva, Nandi which distinguish the four sakhas of Mula Samgha, Konda Kundanvaya were of already prevalent from the beginning of the seventh century. Among the places mentioned in these early inscriptions are Ulikkal, DR S.

Its rich artistic legacy permeates through time, into modern decor, never deviating from the basics. Each motif or intricate pattern, draws its inspiration from a myth or folklore, or from the general ethos itself. Covered by the dense forests, soaring mountains, sparkling waterfalls, murmuring springs, gurgling rivers, secluded dales, deep valleys, captivating beaches and sprawling lake, Odisha is a kaleidoscope of past splendor and present glory. Being the meeting place of Aryan and Dravidian cultures, with is delightful assimilations, from the fascinating lifestyle of the tribes, Odisha retains in its distinct identity, in the form of sculptural art, folk art and performing art. The architectural wonders of Odisha must be seen in the Jain caves, which speak about the fine artistry of Odisha’s craftsmen, in the bygone era. The Odias displayed their remarkable creative power, in the Jain sculptural art. While they built their caves like giants, they sculptured the caves like master artists. The theme of these sculptures was so varied, for the artist and his imagination so deep that, as if, he was writing an epic on the surface of the stone. KEYWORDS: Art, Architecture, Sculpture, Prolific INTRODUCTION Odisha has a rich and unique heritage of art traditions, beginning from the sophisticated ornate temple architecture, and sculpture to folk arts, in different forms.

No doubt, Dr. Venkatesha TS UGC-POST Doctoral Fellow this religion took its birth in North India. However, within a couple of centuries of its birth, Department of Studies and this religionis said to have entered into Karnataka. Jaina tradition ascribes III C.B.C. as the Research in History and date of entry of this religion to south India, and in particular to Karnataka. After this period Archaeology Tumkur Jainism grew from strength to strength and heralded a glorious era, never to be witnessed in University, Tumkur-572103 any part of India, to become a religion next only to Brahmanism in popularity and number. Though Jainism was spread over different parts of south India within the first few centuries of the Christian era, its nucleus as well as the stronghold was southern Karnataka. In fact, it is the general opinion that the history of Jainism in south India is predominantly the history of that religion in Karnataka. Such was the prominence that this religion enjoyed throughout the first millennium A.D. Liberal royal patronage extended by the Kadambas, the Gangas, the Chalukyas of Badami, the Rashtrakutas, the Nolambas, the Kalyana Chalukyas, the Hoysalas, the Vijayanagar rulers and their successors, resulted in the uninterrupted growth of this religion in southern Karnataka.

  • Socio-Economic Conditions of Jains in Karnataka: a Study of Divergence Between Digambar and Svethambar Jains
    SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF JAINS IN KARNATAKA: A STUDY OF DIVERGENCE BETWEEN DIGAMBAR AND SVETHAMBAR JAINS Dr R G Desai* Edited by Dr Abdul Aziz Chair Professor Chair on Religious Minorities Centre for Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy National Law School of India University (NLSIU) Bengaluru 1 Introduction: Jainism is an original and ancient Indian religion which goes back to the pre-Aryan period of primitive currents of religious and metaphysical speculation. The images, seals and other finds amongst the discoveries at Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro disclose splendid representative specimen like the images of Risabha, the bull, the first Tirthankara with his emblem, the swastika which is the emblem of Suparsva, the 7th Tirthankara and a seal containing a script deciphered as Jinesvara. Jainism does not recognize the authority of the Vedas, and its fundamental principles are different by nature from those in each of the systems of the Vedic school. The Rigveda and Yajurveda refer to Risabha, Suparsva and Neminatha, the first, the seventh and twenty-second Tirthankaras respectively. It is a Pre-Vedic religion which flourished in India even before the advent of Aryans to India. Inscriptions: It is an established fact of history that many rulers in ancient Bihar and the territories around were either patrons or followers of Jainism. Chetaka, the ruler of Lichhavi, was a Jain and he gave his sister to Siddhartha. Mahavira was born of this wedlock. Some of the members of the Nanda dynasty were Jains. So was Chandragupta Maurya who later followed Acharya Bhadrabahu to the south. The Kalinga territory was occupied by Jains since the time of Parsva.

  • The Jain Digamber Sampraday
    The Jain Digamber Sampraday The history of Digamber sect for the first six centuries is very hazy. The Digambers unlike Shwetambers did not write detailed historical accounts of their sect, and what has been written seems to have been created around the 6th century AD (based on the inscription found in Shravana Belgola). According to Digamber tradition, the breakup of joint sangh began with Vishaka, who was a disciple of Bhadraprabhu. Many believe that it was in the 2nd century AD that Acharya Kundakunda set the Digamber tradition on a firm footing. Today most Digamber traditions revere Acharya Kundakunda more than Vishaka and Bhadraprabhu, who are otherwise above in the lineage of saints. Digamber Sampraday, in recent centuries, has been divided into the following sub-sects: Majot sub-sects: 1. Bispanth 2. Digamber Terapanth 3. Taranapanth or Samaiyapanth Other sub-sects: a. Gumanapanth b. Totapanth c. Kanji-Panth 1. Bispanth, according to some, is the original group of Digamber sect and has the highest following among all Digamber Jains. Bispanth has a large following in Karnatka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan and Gujarat. The followers of Bispanth support the Dharma-gurus, that is, religious authorities known as Bhattarak who are also the heads of Jain Maths (monasteries). The Bisapanth, in their temples, worship the idols of Tirthankaras. They also worship the idols of Ksetrapala, Padmavati and other deities. 2. Digamber Terapanth arose in North India in the year 1664 AD as a revolt against the domination and conduct of the Bhattarakas. As a result, in this sub-sects, the institution of Bhattarakas lost respect in North India.

  • Jainism a Pictorial Guide to the Religion of Non-Violence
    Flügel, Peter (1999) Review of Jainism - A Pictorial Guide to the Religion of Non-Violence by Kurt Titze (Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass, 1998). Here&Now4U . pp. 1-3 Dr. Peter Flügel on Jainism A Pictorial Guide to the Religion of Non-Violence by Kurt Titze with contributions by Klaus Bruhn Jyoti Prasad Jain Noel Q. King Vilas A. Sangave Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass, 1998. 267 pages, maps, pictures, appendices, indexes, RS 2500. ISBN: 81-208-1534-3. Kurt Titze, the author of this informative and beautifully produced volume on Jainism, is a free-lance writer, with a great admiration and sympathy for the Jain doctrine of radical non-violence, which inspired him to undertake personal visits to most of the Jain sacred sites in India over a period spanning more than three decades. The book is written from the perspective of a pilgrim, i.e. not as a academic piece of research, but as an attractive guide to be used by tourists, scholars, and devotees. By way of an imaginary journey through the subcontinent it introduces the reader to the serene beauty of the religious sites of the Jains which, in contrast to the majority of the places of worship in Hinduism, are often built in isolated mountain or desert locations, away from the buzzing life of the Indian cities (thus contributing to the peaceful atmosphere and the mystique of world renunciation surrounding them). A map at the beginning of each section offers initial orientation. The photographs taken on most sites by the author himself are accompanied by explanatory texts, which also provide useful travel information, anecdotes, personal impressions, and occasional notes on important ritual occasions.
