It is worth to mention here that Parshwanath Vidyapeeth, from
the year 2018 is running a P G Diploma Course in Yoga & Meditation. This course
is recognized by Kaivalyadham Institute of Yoga, Lonavla (Pune). In first batch
more than 20 students have taken admission. The Faculties to teach Yoga are
well experienced and noted in their fields. There is not a single centre of
Yoga recognized by Kaivalyadham Institute other than Parshwanath Vidyapeeth. It
is emerging centre of excellence in Yoga.
There is enormous literature in Prakrit language. Majority
of the Prakrit works still remains inaccessible to the scholars of Jainology as
well as to those working in other disciplines because of non-availability of
Prakrit texts with their translations in other languages. For comparative and
comprehensive study of Indian tradition, history, culture, literature,
language, poetics etc. knowledge of Prakrit is essential.
Keeping in view the importance of the subject Parshwanath Vidyapeeth organised a 21 Day National Workshop on Teaching & Learning in Prakrit Language from 17th May to 06th June, 2019. This is the 10th workshop on Prakrit in this series. Parshwanath Vidyapeeth is committed to impart knowledge of Prakrit to the students and scholars interested in Indological.
