THE MULTY DIMENSIONAL ACTIVITIES OF JAIN
VISHVABHARATI INSTITUTE, LADNUN
1. Teaching : The Jain Vishvabharati Institute has initially started only four Post-Graduate Teaching Departments (M.A.) (1) Prakrit Language and Literature (2) Jainology (Jaina Philosophy, Logic, Ethics & Religion etc.) (3) Non-violence and Peace Research and (4) Science of Living (Jeevan Vigyan) and Preksha Meditation. Students from all over India come to take admission in these subjects. Foreign students are also attracted to get admission in them. Besides there are separate chairs for the comparative study of Jainism and Buddhism as well as Jainism and Vedic religion. Two research scholars are attached to each Deptt. As a matter of encouragement, we offer Rs. 500/- P.M. to each student from outside Ladnun, who joins this University and Rupees 1500/- and Rupees 2500/- to Junior and Senior Research Scholars respectively.
2. (a) Research : There is a tremendous research activity performed by scholarly saints and nuns under the able guidance of their Holiness Acharya Shri Tulsi and Yuvacharya Shri Mahaprajña. The famous German Indologist Prof. Leon Roth was simply bewildered to find the volumes of critical editions of the Agamas. He beleived that some divine power was behind them. What could have been done in atleast 100 years was completed in 30 years. More than twenty research scholars are registered on different topics for their doctoral degrees.
(b) Training : Since Science of Living and Preksha Meditation form part of our curricula, we have set-up a Training Institute called Tulsi Adhyatma Needam. There is also a growing laboratory. We have been hulding camps for all sections of society throughout the country and also outside, in U.S.A., U.K. etc So far we have been able to hold 500 small and big camps. Our camps in foreign countries have become very popular.
(c) Publication: We have an organised publication programme of Jaina Agamas, importment, Jain manuscripts and other works. Besides the publications of Agąmas, Jaina Vishva Bharati has published more than 200 monographs. We also have a prestigious Quarterly bilingual Research Journal of Jain Vishva Bharati Instiiute known as Tulsi-Prajna.
