The Jaina thinkers have contributed a lot in every branch of knowledge from the earliest time to till date but unfortunately it is not well recognized by the scholars of the world, as there were no source books for their ready reference. At present there is an awakening of interest world over in the study of Jaina philosophy, religion, theology, psychology, history, art, culture and sciences. A constant flow of publications on these subjects through research in modern languages is the great need of the day. Keeping in view the same, Parshwanath Vidyapeeth, Vidyapeeth, which has more than 201 research publications of to its credit, is working on a mammoth project of preparation of Encyclopedia of Jaina Studies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"wIMNw1JeRGEz_wIMNw1JeRGEz\" class=\"brz-section brz-css-d-ynf0il brz-css-198mog7\">\n<div class=\"brz-section__content brz-section--boxed brz-css-d-oh3bvl brz-css-wy1t2s\" data-brz-custom-id=\"iS5TvPzkQ91s\">\n<div class=\"brz-container brz-css-d-x9rvyp brz-css-fwqujf\">\n<div class=\"brz-wrapper-clone brz-flex-xs-wrap brz-css-d-x0dcve brz-css-lwv5m8\" data-brz-custom-id=\"vcVKh5KH4Ias\"><a class=\"brz-a brz-btn brz-css-d-1syz9i2 brz-css-1732i4d brz-css-d-13c78oe brz-css-ucj9z9\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\" data-brz-link-type=\"page\" data-brz-custom-id=\"xlZTvGQdpMUk\"><span data-brz-translate-text=\"1\" class=\"brz-span brz-text__editor\">AIM &amp; OBJECTIVE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-d-1wonu5h brz-css-3w2vh5 brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-d-1ehz5mr brz-css-ogw57e\" data-brz-custom-id=\"mNvqKGr93hNC\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p data-generated-css=\"brz-css-jYHj_\" data-uniq-id=\"s0NX2\" class=\"brz-tp-lg-empty brz-ff-ovo brz-ft-google brz-fs-lg-16 brz-fss-lg-px brz-fw-lg-400 brz-ls-lg-0 brz-lh-lg-1_9 brz-vfw-lg-400 brz-fwdth-lg-100 brz-fsft-lg-0 brz-css-vrptg\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">The primary aim in bringing forth this Encyclopedia of Jaina Studies is to present a complete picture of the Jaina religion with its various aspects and dimensions in a manner that will satisfy the curiosity of the layman as well as meet the necessities of the scholars.

An old dilapidated Jaina <em>stupa<\/em> at Mathura, however, provides ample material for the study of <em>stupa<\/em> architecture as well as to understand the historical development of Jain architecture along with religion the history of Jaina. Historically the Jaina stupa of Mathura belongs to 2nd century B.C. to 11th century AD.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-uHDsv\" data-uniq-id=\"x6Mwq\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-mmjJl\">Like the Brahmanical and Buddhists sects the Jainas also have their own caves and cave temples located throughout the country. Historically the study of Jaina caves begins at Rajgir-Sonbhandar (Bihar) during the Mauryan period and ends at Gwalior in the 15th-16th cent. A.D. The best intermediary examples are to be noticed in the Ellora Jaina Caves of 9th-10th century A.D. For such a long period none but the Jainas only undertook this activity. In this volume caves are deal in chronological order but where there are more than one cave, all the caves of that site are discussed at one place in chronological order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-swOdC\" data-uniq-id=\"k89v3\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-lo7Ue\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brz-columns brz-css-d-j7y22h brz-css-djh3id\" data-brz-custom-id=\"aEImXmkh5EvZ\">\n<div class=\"brz-column__items brz-css-d-v5w42e brz-css-13wfnry\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-d-1wonu5h brz-css-z07mhy brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-d-1ehz5mr brz-css-1iaob2r\" data-brz-custom-id=\"a1YA2tHkFLD4\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p data-uniq-id=\"hrgpM\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-aO703\" class=\"brz-tp-lg-empty brz-fsft-lg-0 brz-fwdth-lg-100 brz-vfw-lg-400 brz-lh-lg-1_9 brz-ls-lg-0 brz-fw-lg-400 brz-fss-lg-px brz-fs-lg-22 brz-ft-google brz-ff-ovo brz-css-hUEks\"><strong class=\"brz-cp-color7 brz-bold-true\">(2) Rock-cut Caves and Cave Temples:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-kP4oW\" data-uniq-id=\"wQtu4\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-bLHbc\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">The Jaina caves are located mainly at the following places \u2013 Rajgir, Pabhosa, Udaigiri-Khandagiri (Orissa), Junagarh, Udaigiri (M.P.), Dharasiva, Ellora, Patna, and Ankai Tankai. Bhamer, Badami, Aihole, Vilappakkam, Peccipparai, Sittanavasal, Armamllalai, Tiruparuttikunram and Gwalior. all these caves had been provided to Jaina monks for their residence as well as for their observance of <\/span><em class=\"brz-cp-color7\">Samadhimarana<\/em><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">, But there are some caves which are more important from architecture point of view, they are not simple cave, but possesses cave temples for the worship of those monks and layman, who are living nearby \u2018Jaina caves of Ellora are the best example of Jaina cave temples.\u2019&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-evBMr\" data-uniq-id=\"oRXWf\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-kT9HC\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brz-columns brz-css-d-j7y22h brz-css-p0q6b7\" data-brz-custom-id=\"uBJtQ4GxZeV3\">\n<div class=\"brz-column__items brz-css-d-v5w42e brz-css-ifvqia\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-d-1wonu5h brz-css-1gmj1g2 brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-d-1ehz5mr brz-css-orrr4\" data-brz-custom-id=\"y4EFQqK5ChAG\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p data-uniq-id=\"dxGy_\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-f07tb\" class=\"brz-tp-lg-empty brz-fsft-lg-0 brz-fwdth-lg-100 brz-vfw-lg-400 brz-lh-lg-1_9 brz-ls-lg-0 brz-fw-lg-400 brz-fss-lg-px brz-fs-lg-23 brz-ft-google brz-ff-ovo brz-css-p33kG\"><strong class=\"brz-cp-color7 brz-bold-true\">(3) Structural Jaina Temples:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-n4j7n\" data-uniq-id=\"k_9JF\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-e4TC1\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">Compared to Jaina caves, the Jaina temples are very large in number and they are in various stages of preservations. Architecturally the Jaina temples are not very different from Hindu temples. So far as the their temple architecture is concerned from artistic point of view some of them are very important such as Osia Delwada, Abu, Ranakapur etc. The earliest remains of Jaina temple was found at Lohanipur, a subarbe of the modern Patna. On the basic its plinth it was a very small temple only 9\u2033x9\u2033, which was made up of bricks. These remains belong to Mauryan period i. e.3 rd century B.C. After that remains of oldest Jaina temples belongs to Gupta period i.e. 4-5th century A.D. at Nacana in Madhya Pradesh. The oldest standing, Jaina temples are of Ghanerava and Osia in Marawada, which belongs to tenth century and are of \u00ecvet\u00c2mbara tradition. The oldest Jaina temples of Digambara tradition are found at Devagarha in Madhya Pradesh. They are thirty one in number and belong to between 9th to 12th century A.D. So far as architectural importance is concerned, the temples of Ghanerava and Osia are much better from the temples of Devagarha, but in same sense Maladevi temple is also better from architectural point of views and it is believed that this temples belongs to 9th century and one of the best example of Pratihar period. Twelfth century and onwards, we find the architecturally best Jaina temples of the world at Delwada near Udaipur, Delwada, Mount Abu, Ranakpur, Palitana, and Taranga. But we must aware about the fact that in eastern India we also find the various remain of Jaina temples of 9th, 10th and 11th century in Eastern U.P, Bihar, Jharakhand, Bengal and Orissa. So far as the Southern India is concerned, though the existing Jaina temples of early period are less in number, but we find ample remains of Jaina temples in Maharashtra, Andhra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Here it is to be noted that several temples ancient and middle age are destroyed or converted in Hindu and Muslim monuments.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-hHF0T\" data-uniq-id=\"i_7Be\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-xOoya\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brz-columns brz-css-d-j7y22h brz-css-r01w6n\" data-brz-custom-id=\"f6wdqizI454z\">\n<div class=\"brz-column__items brz-css-d-v5w42e brz-css-1q0zp5c\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-d-1wonu5h brz-css-w4khce brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-d-1ehz5mr brz-css-1nqjkl6\" data-brz-custom-id=\"eShKPadHZDcO\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p data-uniq-id=\"i7tpO\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-cPq8F\" class=\"brz-tp-lg-empty brz-fsft-lg-0 brz-fwdth-lg-100 brz-vfw-lg-400 brz-lh-lg-1_9 brz-ls-lg-0 brz-fw-lg-400 brz-fss-lg-px brz-fs-lg-21 brz-ft-google brz-ff-ovo brz-css-rZBeH\"><strong class=\"brz-cp-color7 brz-bold-true\">(4) Pillar Kirtistambha (Pillars of Glory)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-qB_1o\" data-uniq-id=\"jpmaO\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-w2ryG\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">There has been a popular practice of building pillars, i.e. <\/span><em class=\"brz-cp-color7\">Mana-stambha<\/em><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\"> in front of the Jaina temples since at least 9th century A.D., the earliest examples of which are found with the Jaina temples at Deogarh.

Known as Western Indian style of painting, the Jaina paintings mainly include the illustrated manuscripts earlier as palm leaf manuscripts and subsequently as paper manuscripts. Their centers were spread over mainly in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Despite the efforts of the Jaina monks to transcribe their religious texts no Jaina manuscript written earlier than the 10th cent. A.D. is known to us. Possibly it was due to non-availability of <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Grantha Bhandara<\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"> (monastic libraries) where these could be safely stored. The <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Bhandaras <\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">as rich repositories of manuscripts developed in the history of Jainism only around 8th \u2013 10th century A.D. The wooden patas or patalis, used as book covers, contain the scenes from the lives of Jaina Tirthankaras as well as figures of birds and animals and decorative motif of the meandering creepers, dancers and musicians. The Jaina author Uddyotana Suri in his <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Kuvalayamalakaha,<\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"> a Prakrit work composed in AD. 778-79 at Jalor in Rajasthan refers to a <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">samsara-cakra-pata<\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">, evidently a painting prepared on cloth depicting the futilities and miseries of human life as opposed to the joys of heaven. So also Jinasena I in his <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Adipurana<\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"> (830 AD.) mentions a Jaina Shrine, while Jatasimhanandi (7th cent. AD.) <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Varangacharita<\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"> refers to a Jaina temple, displayed with <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">pattakas, <\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">depicting the lives of the Tirthankaras, Jaina monks and Chakravartins. The cloth patas of later date proves a long unbroken heretic tradition of producing such paintings on cloth.The earliest illustrated Shvetambara Jaina manuscripts on palm-leaf of <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Ogha Niryukti<\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"> and <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Dashavaikalika-Tika<\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"> belong to 11th cent. A.D. In the 12th-13th cent. AD Jaina palm-leaf illustration style was fully developed with the excessive marinerism. The illustrated <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Jnata-Dharmakatha Sutra, Dashavaikalika-laghu-vritti <\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">and <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Neminatha-carita<\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"> in the Shantinatha temple <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Bhandaras <\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">at Cambay are some such examples. These manuscripts show the figures of Sarasvat\u00cd, Ambika, monks with laymen as well as the scenes from the life of Neminatha. In 13th century A.D. the number of illustrations in the Jaina manuscript increased. An illustrated palm leaf Ms. of the <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Oghaniryukti <\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">in the Jaina Bhandara- at Chhavi, near Baroda, has a large number of illustrations of Vidyadevis. In late 13th cent. A.D. the illustrators began to give expression to the subject matter of the text in a narrative form. The single deity is replaced by the scenes from the lives of the (Tirthankaras) which mainly concern Rishabhanatha, Neminatha, Parshvanatha and Mahavira. Though the paper had come in use in Gujarat as early as the 12th cent. A.D. for preparing manuscript texts, it was not used for manuscript illustrations till about mid of 14th cent. A.D. It was adopted round about 14th cent. A.D. in imitation of the palm leaves. The palm leaf continued up to 14th and even 15th cent. A.D. for manuscripts. It may generally be said that the late 14th and early 15th cent. Illustrated paper manuscripts are of good quality. The main centers for the production of the Jaina manuscripts were in Gujarat (Patan, Ahmedabad, etc.) and various places in Rajasthan and Delhi. The <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Kalpasutra, Kalakacharyakatha <\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">and the <\/span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Mahapurana<\/em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"> were the most popular of all the themes in medieval Jaina manuscript paintings. A good number of illustrated Jaina manuscript paintings are preserved in the India Office Library, London.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"y1f3OdngZSvP_y1f3OdngZSvP\" class=\"brz-section brz-css-d-ynf0il brz-css-1wpr8dr\">\n<div class=\"brz-section__content brz-section--boxed brz-css-d-oh3bvl brz-css-gd23p0\" data-brz-custom-id=\"efsKnlk0l_vp\">\n<div class=\"brz-container brz-css-d-x9rvyp brz-css-1kaskua\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-d-1wonu5h brz-css-1dohte0 brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-d-1ehz5mr brz-css-w3e7ze\" data-brz-custom-id=\"vlfWyxM53zdm\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-empty brz-ff-ovo brz-ft-google brz-fss-lg-px brz-fw-lg-400 brz-ls-lg-0 brz-lh-lg-1_9 brz-vfw-lg-400 brz-fwdth-lg-100 brz-fsft-lg-0 brz-fs-lg-25 brz-css-lqw_U\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-kkl8R\" data-uniq-id=\"n_uxD\"><strong class=\"brz-bold-true\">Fine Arts and Performing Arts<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-d-1wonu5h brz-css-eqtr2d brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-d-1ehz5mr brz-css-1251u4e\" data-brz-custom-id=\"gG53lWnOO_YN\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-iY4D8\" data-uniq-id=\"eAWgE\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-sEnYg\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Jainas have also made significant contributions to Fine Arts and Performing Arts, like music, dance and drama.

The fundamental problems, no doubt, remained the same from which they were attacked varied with the viewer as well as the age. It would therefore not be surprising if the answers to the problem are found to be radically divergent. Answers given by theology, for instance, are based mostly on dogmatic belief that we have knowledge, where in, in fact, we have ignorance. Science on the other hand cannot answer many questions of great interest raised by inquisitive human mind. \u2018Philosophy is intermediate between theology and science\u2019 says Sir Bertrand Russell \u2018and it is philosophy to study such problems in order that we do not become insensitive to many things of great value. (History of Western Philosophy, p. 13).At the same time unlike the West, Science has never been able to completely subjugate the religious sensitivities. In India at least, mystery, ambiguity and transcendence remain as important as rationality, logic, and sensible perception. Science in spite of its spectacular achievements did never become a new religion as it in effect did in the West.Western scholars often remark that the Indian philosophies and religions are not dynamic but static.&nbsp;But this remark is not tenable when we study any Indian philosophy or religious tradition from historical point of view. We notice a sequence of changes and developments in their thoughts and practices. This is true with regard to Jainism as well as other schools of Indian philosophy. Systematization of Jaina philosophy is comparatively a recent event though it had its moorings in the canonical literature i.e. agamas. According to Jaina belief, the doctrines of philosophy promulgated was first by Bhagavan Rishabhadeva, the First Tirthankara which was developed by Bhagavan Mahavira. The same doctrines were preached by a succession of 23 Tirthankaras before Mahavira. Though the basic tenets of Jaina Philosophy such as non-violence, self-control etc. in thought and practice, remained the same throughout the ages yet their explanations&nbsp;and their applications were modified in conformity with time and circumstances by Jaina Tirthankaras and acharyas. Even in the early times, every successive Tirthankara made reforms and changes in the religious practices and ethical code of conduct of monks and nuns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-dLsb7\" data-uniq-id=\"veFDh\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-oNebA\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Jaina scholars divide the history of Philosophical development in the three ages which are as under:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"brz-bcp-color7 brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-mkXNp\" data-uniq-id=\"rJ8P2\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-nRcAL\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">The Agama Age (c. 5th&nbsp;cent.
