International Conference on Science and Jain Philosophy 2016
The Jain Tirthankaras are called 'kevalgyani' or the omniscients. They have grasped and imbibed the realities of the world and the true path to enlightenment. They have navigated through the extremely complex web of all the realms, understood it to the minutest detail and worked hard towards propounding these truths to the laities, as they wanted all jiuas to benefit and walk towards the path of peace and bliss. It is now in our hands to re-invigoratetheseteachingsbyfortifyingthem withtheendorsementofscientificresearch and experimentation in order to help fight today's burning problems like terrorism, violence, intolerance and materialism.
If science and spirituality join hands and we put our heads and hearts or direct our energies, wealth, intelligence and dedication into unraveling the true scientific and empirical evidences for the Jain principles like Ahimsa, truthfulness, compassion for peaceful coexistence, there is little doubt, that the supportive research will help these principles be received with open arms by the future generations thereby making your world and my world - our world - a better place to live in peace and bliss!
Let me take this opportunity to thank all of the Presenters, the Contributors, who have come from far and wide and all those who have been a part of the event. My special thanks to Samani Chaitanya Prajnaji who was the guiding force, Dr. K.P. Mishra for his support, Muni Abhijitji for his complete co operation and dear Pooja who has put in hard work and was at our beck and call all of the time. We are grateful to all others whose mention is not made here due to space constraint but who have been directly or indirectly instrumental in extending their support in the completion of the SOUVENIR.
