The BLESSINGS
abnegation. During the current year, Acharya Mahaprajna has organised a series of lectures on the philosophy of Mahavir from the point of economics, Anuvrat, Prekshadhyan and the science of living.
There are a large number of economists the world over. They have been communicating their economic beliefs to the business community and the consumer society. There has been a growing predilection for wealth among the people. Sometimes, it appears that material wealth is becoming increasingly dominant in the lives of the people. On the other hand, accumulation, earning, conservation and consumption of wealth are becoming a source of agony. In this context, if the thoughts of Mahavira could be deployed as a source of contentment, fulfilment and peace, it will be a matter of great achievement. Accordingly, two lectures each week for four weeks have been scheduled. The title of the book Economics of Mahavira might sound a little incongruous. I am, however, confident that the thoughts expressed in the discourses will prove to be milestones in the development of the theories and beliefs of Economics.
Like Economics, Mahaprajna has also to give consideration to the idea of shedding more light on subjects like Political Science, Sociology and other similar disciplines which will enlighten the world and benefit the inquisitive with new thought processes.
