in the society and oblige people adopt tolerance, give up obstinacy, and encourage to be compassionate and considerate.
Anekānta style of life helps in reconciling differences subsequently erasing enmity and unfriendliness. The Findhorn Foundation in cooperaton with Conventry Univesity's Centre for Forgiveness and Reconciliation organised an International Conference on forgiveness from 16th to 3rd oct., 99. The conference aimed at exploring the process of forgiveness and learning more about opening windows between adversaries. Thus Anekānta process of thinking appears to have enough potential to educate, inculcate & create friendly atmosphere across the globe. If we can arrange a global meet on anekantic way of life this will be a timely contribution to eradicate hostilities hampering human progress. Reconciliation of opposites or upholding feeling of togetherness can be ever-memorable contribution of Anekāntavād. With its help we can very well review the complex range of feelings and can set a psychological pace for the great universal journey of love, fraternity, peace, compassion, and prosperity. This is encouraging and very much anekantic that with the slogan 'Do not let take old grudges into the new Millenium'. Forgiveness week 2000 has been celebrated from Feb. 20th to Feb. 26th 2000. I believe this is real hammering to shape Anekantavād Syādvād for the welfare of the human society. Such experiments can only reveal usefulness and applicability of anekantic style of living.
In this lecture lam not discussing the epistemological structure of Anekāntavād/Syādvād, but I intend to bring forward the instrumentality and usefulness of anekantic process of thinking. Applicability or operative potential is to be carefully and holistically discovered.
In Jainācăr (Jaina conduct) samitis (watchfulness; moral vigilence) and guptis are described. These have been designated as eight mothers of pravacan i.e. caritra. Bhāṣā Samiti and Vacangupti are of paramount importance. If these are appropriately advocated, then operative aspect of Anekānta can be accelerated. Undoubtedly language has an immense role in deciding friendly or unfriendly bonds between the social components. Anekāntavād appeals that all possibilities - maximum potential - must be explored so that non-violence and feeling of compassion may be made global. The basics of Anekāntavād can script beautiful/amicable art of living with an emotive flavour of equanimity. 144 D
