________________ ARHAT VACANA Kundakunda Jnanapitha, Indore Vol. 11, No. 4, Octber 99, 49-60 GOSALA MOVEMENT IN INDIA A NONVIOLENT PERSPECTIVE FOR THE FUTURE ABHAY PRAKASH JAIN The richness of culture of a country is measured by the treatment it offers to her sub-humans. Gosalas & Panjarapoles are the symbol of India's cultural Heritage not only because it renders protection to cows which are the Summum Bonum (4) for India's life and free energy supplier even to the poorest's hut but protection to all animals proving "Hd Hag" - All life is Alike. Gosala movement is synonimus to the protection of cows and cattle wealth of our country. It can be delineated into three phases: 1. Vedic Period. 2. India in Bondage or Pre-Independence Period and 3. Post-Independence Period. Gosala Movement tracks back to about five thousand years in India. It's origion is traced in vedic period for protection, preservation and development of exclusively cow and her progeny. Let it got great support from Sanatani, Vaisnava and Hindus, especially devotees of Lord Krishna (g) an Incarnation of Lord Vishnu, the protector of Universe who exemplified the work of protection and development of cow as a means for material and spiritual uplift. According to vedic concepts cows are considered sacrament and constitute material and spiritual asset to the country. At that period of time possession of herds of cows was a yard stick for measuring economic esteem or prosperity of individual and the nation. Since cows were considered as Kamdhenu (giver of all desires), they were offered as gift to Gurukulas (Educational Institutes with Boarding and Lodging of Students, Conducted by learned personages), Asrams. Rsis (Ascetics) and Gosalas. Regarded as indispensable for spiritual and material welfare of humanity, cow species is considered 'Aghnya' one which must never be killed. Our entire culture is Go-Samskriti culture based on Cow. Gosala movement In India, therefore, represents our ancient culture to reciprocate man's greatfulness to the invaluable services rendered by cow and her progeny to mankind without any distinction of caste, creed, religion or nationality. Gosalas have been India's age old institutions to preserve, protect & develope the cow-family. Under the influence of Jaina culture for Jiva-daya (Reverence for Life) and financial assistance, majority of Gosalas expanded into Pinjarapoles to protect all animals but cow-progeny predominant. Cow and her progeny have kept our Agro-economy alive by contributing milk, draft, organic manure, N-14, Chetak Puri, Gwalior-474 009

________________ energy, fuel and similar invaluable services to the mankind and our nation. Cow, being the backbone of rural life and economy, care was taken for their well being and uplift. Grazing areas and grass lands (Gocara Bhumi) were kept reserved in abundance everywhere. People used to donate their lands to Gosatas or even established Gosatas on any auspicious occassion or to keep alive the memory of a departed family member and this was considered as a most respectful deed in the society. Gosalas were institutions where young and old cows and progeny were maintained life long. Each family used to keep cows and call for supply of milk and milk products to the family and male calf reared for draught and cultivation on fields. When no longer required they passed on to Gosalas for care. Donations in form of land, money, grass and feed were contributed to keep Gosatas alive. Killing or say even injuring cow and progeny was treated as no less a crime than culpable homicide. With the change of time, growth of cities and towns, and anti Hindu foreign regimes in India, the entire socio-cultural and socioeconomic pattern of life was revolutionalised on the materialistic considerations. Even then, the cows and her progeny retained her inevitable status in the Agro-economy of our nation. Even, during Alien domination, cow and her progeny was protected by Princely states, to the extent that the princes rushed with their nuptial Garments on, to rescue the cows and Gosalas. During Muslim regime and particularly Mugal period right from Humanyun to Shahajahan and Shah Alam there was complete ban on the slaughter of cow. Unfortunately, typical policy seems to be pursued even after independence. The Solemn assurances by our great national leaders to the people, during freedom struggle, that on the dawn of independence cow - slaughter will be banned by a stroke of penwas not honoured though Mahatma Gandhi, father of nation had established Krishi Goseva, Sangh (glo a tors) for this purpose and Vinoba Bhave was deeply involved in Gosatas (Cow progeny protection) work. An expert committee appointed by Govt. of India on 16.11.1947 to study the questions of slaughter of cow, unanimously recommended ban on cow - slaughter, but the advise was floutted. This started great discontent and to pacify the agitation Article - 48 was half-heartedly introduced as directive principle. 'ARTICLE - 48 "The state shall endeavour to organise agriculture and animal husbandary on modern and scientific lines and shall, in particular take steps for preserving and improving the breeds, and prohibiting the slaughter of cows and calves & other milch and draught cattle". When states of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan & Uttar Pradesh and Arhat Vacana, Oct. 99

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Gujarat enacted laws to ban slaughter of cow and her progeny in accordance with Article - 48, Highest Judicature of the country declared these Acts as Ultra Vires, interpreting the Act against the intention, as declared in the constituent assembly. This has resulted in unlimited slaughter of cow and progent and mounting meat export by construction of mechanised slaughter houses sponsered by Government aid and creating shortage of milk and milk product and acute shortage of draught power. It was in 1946 that the Indian Council of Agricultural Research in the wing of Animal Husbandary of the Agricultural Ministry, recommended a plan to encourage Gosalas and Pinjarupoles, being the fountain head of milk and draught power and recommended a plan to constitute statewise federation of Gosatas and pinjarapoles. There were about 3600 Major Gosatas and Pinjarapoles in the country and the plan was recommended to co-ordinate and streamline the activities for preservation and development of cow and cattle which were the primary source for milk and draught power in the country. A Go-samvardhana council is constituted with the minister of Agriculture as Chairman and Animal Husbandary Commissioner as a member secretary and prominent Gosata workers from N.G.O'S members to be nominated every three years, with power to allot small doles as Grants to Gosalas & pinjarupoles. But this is just an eyewash and a drop in ocean to solve the basic problem of cow protection and development of progeny since the slaughter of best milking cows & progeny continues unabetedly resulting in colossal decline of the cattle wealth in the country which will be seen from the following figures quoted in a publication issue by the Animal Welfare Board of India on the report, Prepared by Central Leather Institute of Madras. 400 AVAILABILITY OF CATTLE PER 1000 PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY YEAR : CATTLE 1951 430 1961 1981 278 1991 202 2001 116 (expected) 2011 020 (expected) ROLE OF AGRICULTURE Agriculture in India has two fold purposes - (1) Feeding the growing populations of the country till eternity and supplying raw materials for basic necessaries of life, (2) Providing livelihood and subsistence to the crores of rural population constituing the largest self-exployed sector. These two functions of agriculture are mutually complimentary and inalienable from each other, importance Arhat Vacana, Oct. 99

________________ and urgency of none can be either ignored or minimised. Cattle farming in India's agriculture is it's very heart. Agroiculture, cattle farming and subsidiary industries have to be brought into their own to embrace the nation in peace, prosperity and stability. Gosatas movement plays a very vital role in this direction. Ironically, these are the truisms & axioms that do not go straight into the heart, only because they are so simple and manifast & mechanisation in agriculture is being rapidly introduced. But as Jaiprakash Narayan observed, "Those people who advocate for mechanised and the so-called scientific methods of farming in India, live in an unreal world, which has nothing to do with the realities of the country." PILLARS OF STRENGTH India is predominently an agricultural country. However much we rush to be an Industrially developed nation, it should not be forgotten that out of total fourty crore acres of our cultivable land, as much as 60% is cultivated by animal - power 12% by manpower and 28% by machine power. Animal power is used in cultivation, transport, water drawings in fields and similar work. Machanised farming is a distant dream. Majority of our farmers hold only one to two acres of land which can be cultivated only by animal driven ploughs. Still however, if total mechanised farming is planned, it will require atleast sixty three lacs tractors against the existing about five lacs tractors. Thirty crore tone of steel will be needed to produce all these tractors and that too without spare parts required for replacement. Our total production of steel, today, is not above even five crore tons. Total funds required to replace animal power by machine power (Tractors) will be many fold more than Rs. 93,000/- crores. MECHANISED FARMING : AN IMPOSSIBILITY IN INDIA 62% of India's rural population possess less than half an acre and 70% of the farmers possess land less than two hectores. They cannnot afford to have tractors & allied implements for their farms. Any forcible amalgamation of their holdings to form viable farms for mechanised farming and there by reducing farmers to a mere wage-earners is simply an impossible task. And farmers nowhere in the world part away with their land voluntarily and cheerfully. MECHANISED FARMING : UNECONOMIC AND RUINOUS On account of ever increasing costs of inputs, profits from mechanised farming gets rapidly marginlised, ultimately resulting into net lossess to the farmers. They are thereby forced to abandon farms and rush to the cities. Even in the U.S.A., with all sorts of resources at command, the farmers are meeting the same fate. During the thirty years from 1919 to 1949 which included 52 Arhat Vacana, Oct. 99

________________ 11 11 the great depression. and the Il nd world war, eight lacs (8,00,000/-) families lost their land, while during 1949 to 1989, the period of great prosperity, some 34,00,000/- (thirthy four lacs) famillies have lost their inheritances and in Canada 1/10 of all farmers went out of business in 1989 due to financial collapse. Mechanised farming, inevitably accompanied by chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides, does nothing to keep soil in good heart. Soil starved of organic manuring gets impoverished and ultimately fertility is irretievably lost. A farming method that changes large tracks of land, once most fertile into barren desert is by no means scientific and incapable to feed mankind for a longer time.

Pesticides consumption from 1952-53 to 1990 - 91 = Increased by 3208% (Figures from Economic Survery - 8th Plan) Slaughter of cattle wealth has places tremendous monetory strain on our economy resulting in unbearable national debt which if not managed promptly, might lead to, which may perhaps be called, National Insolvancy. Internal Debt = 3,34,914 Crores. External Debt = 3,26,450 Crores. 1980 - 81 Internal Interest Liability was 2604 Crores. 1996-97 Internal Interest Liability is 58500 Crores. However, the basic question is whether the country can sustain mechanisation ? According to a study by Institution of Economic Growth (Chairman Dr. Man Mohan Singh) to replace Animal Energy, our Country would require. - 20 Million tractors - $ 20 billion worth of petroleum products for these tractors. (Present import of oil is about $ 7.0 billion). - Investment required for such number of tractors would be Rs. 5 Lacs Crores. Arhat Vacana, Oct. 99 53

________________ (Rs. 50 Kharab). * Bullock carts are estimated to be nearly 14.5 million and are providing employment to about 30 million people. All these would be rendered jobless if bullocks would go to be slaughtered. India, a tropical country has fast depleting water resources, while mechanised farming (as well as the modern industrialism) consumes too much of water. According to the National water Resources Commission, Water resources of India were 74% in 1940 and came down in 1980, to 33% of what they had been in 1901, and by 2001 A.D. they will be just 14 as the trend goes. EINSTEIN'S MESSAGE TO INDIA Dr. Albert Einstein in his message to the people of India had said in 1948, "India should not go for mechanised farming. Soil in the U.S.A. has lost much of its fertility within a span of just three hundred years whereas India's soil retains its fertlility till today, even though farming has been going on, since past ten thousand years. Tractors ploughing and use of fertliisers will bring in loss of fertility, eventually causing incalculable and irreparable harm to the country". India, with 16% of the world population, has only 0.3% of the estimated total oil - reserves in the earth, while U.S.A. with only 5% of the population, is in a position to use 33% of the mineral oils power in the world. In India's agricultural operations, animal power constitues 66% manual labour, i.e. Manpower 20% and fossiled resources 14%. Replacing all animal power with oil-energy (and that resulting in the minimum use of manual power as the logical consequence) will entail colosol amount of fund as even today India has to spend over Rs. 3500/- crore annually for oil imports and with trade deficits occuring annually to the tune of more than Rs. 7000/- crores and debt - service burden taking away 30% of the export earnings. With the discovery of Gobar-gas, India's cattle, (besides giving their usual draught-power) are capable of supplying gas energy on mass scale India's total dung output is estimated at 980 M. Tonnes. If harnessed, can yield 35,260 Metric Cubic feet of gas- sufficient for the needs of 88 Million families. Mr. Jimmy Carter, the former U.S.A. president exclaimed, as he saw a gobar-gas plant in India, "Oh, it is a perennial source of energy" FOR A PEACEFUL AND STABLE LIFE ORDER Modern Industrialism cannot survive with pollution and energy crisis. A healthy, peaceful and enduring order hinges on the right balance among man, animal and machine. That in practice means; Animal power should not be employed for the jobs that can be performed by man power; and machine power should not be used for a work that animal power can do. Machines 54 Arhat Vacana, Oct. 99

________________ should be used for those jobs alone that cannot be done by man power and animal power. This is the key to a stable and peaceful life order. Smt. Indira Gandhi, the Late Prime Minister of India had, on the occassion of the International Conference of Energy at Nairobi in 1981 said, "In this jet age, people refer to bullock - carts as symbols of past, However, in India, animals provide more power than all our power houses, whose installed capacity is 22,000/- Mw. Replacing them would entail a further investment of 25-40 billion dollaras in electricity, over and above the loss to farm economy of manure and cheap fuel". It is not a tragic irony that the above expression were not translated into action in Govt. Policy to ban slaughter of cow and bullocks? Our great Political Saint Vinobaji had to sacrifice his life by fasting upto death to stop the slaughter of Cow - Progeny. The shortage of Bullocks availability for agriculture is continuosaly growing (Transport not included) - Year BULLOCKS BULLOCKS AVAILABILITY AVAILABILITY REQUIREMENT PERCENTAGE 1951 585 Lacs 1319 Lacs. 44% 1961 687 Lacs 1528 Lacs. 44% 1971 706 Lacs 1658 Lacs. 42% 1977 712 Lacs 1723 Lacs. 41% The figure of avilability from 1961 includes exotic cross-breed bullocks, majority of which could not be conditioned to our traditional Agricultural Methods. BULLOCK CART : KEY ROLE Now let us talk about Rural Transport System. That the bullock cart plays a key role in transporting men and material within villages and from villages to villages and towns is today conceded even by those who talk of mechanisation of rural transport seeing our roads. Thanks to the oil crisis and the unprecedented fuel shortages faces by the world, it increasingly being recognised that there is no other mode of cheaper transport to replace the bullock -cart in the near future. Lacs of villages are dependent on the bull . cart for their daily needs. In spite of the development of a wide networn rail and road transport in the country, considerable rural areas still depend on the bullock cart for both passenger and goods transport. The bullock cart is a rural institution and it will be futile to think of replacing it in the foreseable future. In an age where increasing importance is being given to ecological balance and elimination of pollution, the bullock Arhat Vacana, Oct. 99 55

________________ cart has it's own part to play and it makes hardly any sense to upset this balance. THE BULLOCK CART On a rough estimate, there are some 15 million bullock carts in the country, which in terms of investment is equivalent to Rs. 4500/- crores - just Rs. 1500/- crores less than the government's investment in the railways in the last 10 years. 41 billion tonne kilometers of goods i.e. 60% of the average farm products to market (tansportation of goods) are carried by bullock carts every year, as against 180 billion tonne kilometers carried by railways ad 80 billion tonne kilometers carried by road transport. Directly and indirectly, the bullock cart industry provides employment to 20 million people against 6 million by the road transport industry and 1.4. million by railway. SECURED PLACE IN INDIA'S TRANSPORT SYSTEM Although many would believe that the bullock cart is on its way to extinction, it is not only increasing in the number (One million every 5 years) but also proving itself as the cheapest form of transport for short hauls. A recent case study of 5 mandis in different states to assess the role of bullock carts and trucks in rural transport, conducted by the programme evaluation organisation of the planning commission, some time back, throws interesting light on the situation. It says, "the cart continues to occupy a indispensable place in the rural economy. While carts have lost much ground against trucks in the mandis or market centres, they have increased in number in the villages and are not handling any lower volume of traffic than 10 years back". In order to understand this phenomenon, one has to look into the set-up of our rural economy and take into account the advantage of the cart has over the other modes of transport. The Programme Evaluation Organisation's study further observed that "Carts handle 50 to 96% of the road-borne inward traffic at the mandis, though they do not have much scope for handling outward traffic. Their main work lies in the mandi itself, in the transport of goods from the shops to godowns, mills, railway stations and similar points. The cart is not a competitor but complementary to railways and trucks". COW PROTECTION REMAINS A FAR CRY Even after more than five decades of independence and in the face of above mentiond facts, the Govt. of India is continuing to stick fast to the policy of cattle - slaughter initiated under the British rule. This is inexplainable except for the inscrutable nature of the modern state craft. No doubt, there are laws for cattle - preservation in the provinces but they provide ample scope for free and want on slaughter. Moreover, the Government of India has added a new dimension to already on going cattle - slaughter by introducing meat export Arhat Vacana, Oct. 99 56

________________ Nil programme and promoting mechanised slaughter houses, a thing that never took place in the entire history of a land that has preached love and compassion all through the ages. As the farm - economy of India has been put to face the petrodollar trade, the Indian cattle as decribed earlier are on their mass exodus towards the abattoirs, and a number of marvellous breeds have disappeared and remaining other also heading towards the same fate. How can the poor cattle manage to survive, even though they after slaughter have become several times less profitable for dollars than when they are alive for farm needs? FIGURES OF MEAT & LEATHER EXPORTED Year Meat (Rs.) Leather (Rs.) 1951 Nil 1952 1 crore 28 crores 1981 56 crores 390 crores 1991 140 crores 2600 crores 1992 231 crores 3128 crores 1995 616 crores data not available NUMBER OF CATTLE SLAUGHTERED 1901 to 1949 (50 years) : 3 crores 1964 to 1972 (8 years) : 2.3 crores 1978 (each year) : 1 crore 1992 (each year) : Estimated 3 crores (Legally or illegally) Not withstanding the constraints and injustices the Indian cattle have been kept under, their contribution to the national income is amazingly remarkable. Contributions from cattle wealth in terms of money amounts to be 205000/million whereas big and medium industries jointly contribute to Rs. 1,78,060 million. Draught power available from them has been estimated by Mr. Donals Clauses, an American Engineer, to be equivalent to 28.2 million barrels of oil. India's animal power provides energy equivalent of 30000 Megawatts with no particular huge investments. India has, in principal adopted a socialistic pattern. Indian Govt. encourages preservation and promotion of the rights of Labour Community. Labour leaders shout to protect and promote labour demands, which are multiplying for increase in wages, pension, gratuity, bonus, priviledge leaves, sick and maternity leaves and other allowances. INHUMAN ATTITUDE Unfortunately, there are no such advocates for the rights of our voiceless workers, the cows, the bullocks and other animals who toil till their last breath Arhat Vacana, Oct. 99 57

________________ without rest or maternity leave or sick or priviledge leaves or without striking work, for the prosperity of our nation and the well being of our urban and rural population. Cows are exploited for continuous flow of milk by forced releated claving by artificial means or injecting oxytocin in their uddar or Phhoka which in a short time makes them totally barren and incapable to give milk. The bullocks are goaded with leather whip or with sharp edged iron rod till blood comes out of their neck wounded or legs broken by overloading them. When found useless milk or unfit for draught purpose these poor animals are thrown on roads to die of starvation or sold to butchers. It is here that Gosalas perform their duty. They rescue such animals, treat them medically and try to restore them to normal health to breath their last in shelter and peace. This is our human touch to them. Gosata movement has currently rescued thousands of cows, calfs and bullocks, mostly from illegal slaughteress and saved our national wealth. Even such animals fed on grass & gaibage give upto 3650 kg. of dung in a year which can produce 80-100 tons of compost fertiliser through Nadep process and give following ingredients that will save crores of rupees of national exchange spent on import of dung, compost and fertilisers and also rejuvenite our earth : Cost based on subsiding rate of chemical Fertilizers Nitrogen 800 Kgs. Rs. 4,026.00 Phosphorus 560 Kgs. Rs. 3,500.00 Potassium 1040 Kgs. Rs. 2,800.00 Micro Nutrition 67000 Kgs. Rs. 7,760.00 Total Rs. 17,885.00 A master plan should be chalked out to transform the draft and bio-gas energy and organic manure for constructive use to develop renewable sources of our energy to preserve and protect our environment and save us from foreign dependence for chemical fertilisers, insecticides and petro products. It is, therefore, our duty to preserve and protect our cows, bullocks and other animals. This calls for the creation of a National Project to establish a chain of Gosatas & Pinjarapoles or Gosadans to preserve these valuable lives by creating 'Natinal Fund for Care of Animals', desirable by government allocations in the form of a cess of atleast five paise or more per kg. of milk produced and sold by wholesale producers and milk societies and similarly on sale of Agricultural products at Agricultural marketing yards to provide shelter, care and food, till natural death in lieu of pension, gratuaty, bonus or provident fund benefits to the voiceless workers whose contribution to national health and wealth is enormously anvaluable. Wide executive power should be given to the National Executive Committee nominated for this project preferably through Animal Welfare Board of India and active, constructive and devoted leaders 58 Arhat Vacana, Oct. 99

________________ of Gosata Movement. COW PROTECTION - EVOLUTION AS A VALUE While other nations opted for speed by choosing horse as their chief companion. India in her hoary past preferred for stability and balanced order by choosing cow as life-companion, modus vivendi elmodus operandi, since then cow has been synonymous with India's Life order. And the culture of a nation is truly rooted in its agriculture. Thus protection of cow meaning Gosatas Movement has verified the protection of India's life order and heritage. SACRED COW TRULY SACRED ? Many people brought up under Western Influence refer to India's cows as "sacred" cow. But this showes only their ignorance about the condition of life in India. Mr. Philip Staph writes in the January - 1972, issue of the "Prabudha Bharat" (99& HRG) a journal of the Ram Krishna Mission: "We Americans are prone to call countries with civilisation far older than our as emerging countries. We are quick to speak disdainfully of India's cow worship, never bothering to enquire into the role which cow played in India's religion and economy, giving not only milk, but dung for manuring and fuel. "Sacred" as Gandhi said, because the cow has been a useful and gentle companion for centuries. Nor do most Americans stop to think how we cuddle and pamper our dogs. Feeding them coupiously, so the television advertisement are devoted to touting tempting dog foods. Nor would any American dream of eating the flesh of a dog". Monier Williams, whose work on the Veda is very famous, writes in his book "One Hinduism" -- "Fortunately for the people of India, Cows, which give milk, the only animal - protein and ghee, and bullocks which plough their land. were declared "Sacred" in the very beginning. Had it not been done, cows and bullocks would have disappeared during the famines (i.e. they would have been eaten up by the starving people - ed) what is found today as blind faith, was in fact a far-sighted wisdom". PARTIAL BAN ON CATTLE SLAUGHTER IS MEANINGLESS A question commonly asked, "But why not slaughter the old and decrepit cattle?' Because this is simply not practicable in the Indian conditions. Meat from the old animals is not fit for man's consumption. Therefore young and useful alone are slaughtered, of courses under the plea of being old and useless. In west, cow is a dual purpose animal i.e. for supplying beef and milk. So in their case to trouble arises in slaughter. In India, however, cow is a far- animal for milk and draught. Cattle in India were never meant for supplying meat. If this objective is added to cattle farming, all restriction over their slaughter Arhat Vacana, Oct. 99 59
Page #62
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ must naturally go. There can be no mid-way between no ban and total ban. Cattle - slaughter goes on unabled, even when the number of bullocks is just half of our requirements. Independence has no meaning if we fail to save cow. It will have to be admitted then that we have lost our freedom and its aroma is gone - if COW - protection does not take place. For this purpose, Gosata movement, in India is the question of life and death as said by Vinobaji. WHY GOSHALA MOVEMENT? 1. Gosata movement is a patriotic movement to free the nation from the clutches or Foreign economic dependence and to provide cheap and nutritious food, fuel, energy, manure and safeguard our environment. 2. It's aim is to preserve, protect and develope cow and bullocks for the prosperity of the country. 3. Gosata movement is the commond of India's Nonviolent culture & glory. 4. Gosata movement is to implement directive principals of non-violence of our constitutions. Govt. of India is bound to preserve it. TWO DEMANDS 1. In India's a pre-dominantly agricultural country slaughter of cow and bullocks of any age-group must be prohibited by a legislation as a step preliminary to all animal slaughter. 2. All meat export from this country be stopped. 3. Govt. Should sponsor a National welfare fund for care of cows and Animals created with contribution form Govt. and milk producers (Agriculture products) moreever. IT IS INDIA'S OWN SOCIALISM On account of experiments carried through for millennia in India's civilisation, cows and bullocks have been assigned a place in human family. It is a marvellous example of relationship between man and animal. In India's socialism Cow - species gained a part in the family and they are to be given. (Out of gratitude) for their life-long services, protection and loving care till their natural death - VINOBA BHAVE "My ambition is no less than to see the principle of the Cow -protection established throughout the world. But that requires that I should set my own house thoroughly in order first". - MAHATMA GANDHI Received - 10.5.98 Arhat Vacana, Oct. 99

________________ Short Note - 1 ARHAT VACANA Kundakunda Jhanapitha, Indore JAINA REFERENCES NOT INCLUDED IN KHAJURAHO FESTIVAL I A. P. Jain The thousand year celebrations at Kkajuraho have begun on 6th March 99. The millennium festival which will go on till 25th March 2000 is an appreciation of this art form of India. But the Jaina art and its asthetic values to appreciate such a glorious culture have not been included due to inactive interest of our central/state Jaina leadership and socio cultural unawareness. The world heritage of Khajuraho has made a significant contribution to Jaina religious art of our country. Some magnificiant Jaina temples here are dedicated to Jaina faith. The Adinatha temple is one of them. These Jaina temples have become world famous for their erotic sculpture. The exuberant details in these. Jaina temples which speak of the vitality and prosperity of the times. Out of 85 temples only 21 are standing. Many of the houses in nearby villages are partly built with stones which would have belonged to this Jaina ancient site. You may well imagine the large numbers of valuable Jaina images which must have been taken from here over the years. As the Govt. is celebrating a thousand years of Khajuraho, the Jaina art and its aesthetic value should not be neglected as there Jaina temples provide a window of one of the most splendid temples sites in the history of the world. Sahu Ramesh Chand Jain of Delhi attended this festival at inugural day to introduce a book on 'Khajuraho', but he has not uttered a single word in the glory of Jaina heritage. He said nothing about the neglection of Jaina art in the millennium. It is shameful to our Jaina Samaja. For active participation in millennium, no significant contribution has been come out by local management.
