Hardcover. Zustand: New. Ancient history of India reveals that there were two parallel traditions in India, viz. Vedic and Sramanic. The Sramana Tradition includes Jainism, Buddhism and others such as the Ajivikas and Ajtianas. Jain religious tradition is one of the oldest living religions of India. Historicity of 24th Tirthalikara Mahavira in sixth century BCE is well established. The Jain records mention the name of 23 tirtharikaras before Mahavira. Among them Parvanatha was the 23rd and Neminatha was the 22nd. Pargvanatha is now acknowledged as a historical figure by a number of scholars. The existence of Pargva's Order in Mahavira's time is recorded as a discussion between the followers of Pargva (caturyama) and those of Mahavira (pancayama) in the Uttara-adhyayanasiitra. Keeping this fact in mind, International School for Jain Studies (ISJS) in association with the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (BORT) organized a two-day International Seminar on "Traces of Sramana Tradition (with special reference to Jainism): Prior to 650 BCE" on 5-6 October 2019 in Pune. This book contains 13 selected papers presented in this seminar exploring the available archaeological, cultural, social and literary evidences to substantiate the existence of Jain tradition before 650 BCE. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Jainism regards life to be eternal. Recognizing that the soul can never die, but merely takes a new body, a careful tradition welcoming death through intentional fasting developed more than two thousand years ago. A legal challenge Rajasthan was put forward in 2013, suggesting that this practice is harmful and coercive and targets women in particular. For a short while SallekhanÀ, which means the "thinning of existence," was declared illegal. In response to this controversy, three conferences were convened by the International School for Jain Studies to explore the legal, religious, and medical aspects of this practice. Experts discussed the long history of the practice, attested to in epigraphs throughout India; the ways in which fasting to death has become an acceptable practice in the Western world; and contemporary instances of its observance in India. This volume presents an interdisciplinary approach to thinking about the end of life, from biomedical, historical, religious, and legal perspectives. …

Jain narrative as well as canonical literature indicates that the first tirthankara of Jains, Lord Adinath, was the founder of work and knowledge-based culture in India. He taught people how to live as communities and adhere to certain prearranged rules of coexistence and cooperation. He prescribed six different skills to be acquired by his subjects for worldly activities like (i) Asi (swordsmanship for protection), (ii) Masi (writing skills), (iii) Krishi (agriculture), (iv) Vidya (knowledge), (v) Vanijya (trade and commerce) and (vi) Shilp (crafts). These skills not only help in creating worldly wealth but also assist individuals and communities to live happily with overall prosperity. Following the path shown by Lord Adinath and subsequent tirthankaras. The Jain society from ancient times has been engaged in business activities with ahimsa (non-violence) as their guiding principle. Owing to this principle of ahimsa, we do find trends of the Jain community being engaged in commerce and trade. The historical trajectory of mercantile characteristics among the Jains continued till date and since India's Independence, many renowned Jains have contributed to the development of India. This book documents the conceptual foundation of Jain tenets with reference to the Western approach toward business ethics; it also covers biographies of successful Jain entrepreneurs in the past and present. Apart from the details on the conceptual framework of Jain Business Ethics and Jain Business Engagements through the ages, it also contains various essays on Jain Values and Entrepreneurship. This book is an academic attempt to examine the Jain religion as an Eastern case study, which will be of interest to readers, who are looking for an alternative perspective in light of contemporary worries about global business and economic systems.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Anekantavada, the Jain doctrine of non-absolutism, asserts that reality is multifaceted and cannot be fully comprehended from a single standpoint. While its theoretical foundations have been extensively explored, its practical applications remain an area of growing scholarly interest. Jainism, through its principle of non-absolutism (anekantavada), offers a rigorous epistemological framework for engaging with reality in all its complexity.This edited volume systematically examines the doctrine's relevance across disciplines, including philosophy, health sciences, education, physics, political theory, sociology, business, and media studies. In health and medicine, it provides a comprehensive approach to understanding wellness, vaccine hesitancy, and the spiritual dimensions of diet and fasting. In education, it promotes linguistic diversity and flexible teaching methodologies that accommodate multiple perspectives.In physics and mathematics, it aligns with quantum theories and data science, advancing non-absolutist scientific inquiry. Within democracy and law, it fosters pluralistic governance and a broader approach to judicial decision-making. In sociology, it addresses political polarization and strengthens social cohesion. In business and mass media, it challenges rigid economic models and promotes diverse, inclusive narratives.By engaging with contemporary challenges, the contributors present anekantavada as a significant methodological tool rather than a mere doctrinal principle. With contributions from leading scholars and the benefit of an extensive peer-review process, this book serves as a vital resource for researchers, educators, policy-makers, and general readers seeking to understand how non-absolutism can inform and reshape contemporary discourse. It invites further exploration of anekantavada as an essential tool for comprehending complexity in an interconnected world.…
