Research Foundation for Jainology
The Research Foundation for Jainology was established in the year 1982 aiming to foster awareness of Jaina Philosophy and tenets in the mind of public viz. development of body, enrichment of mind, sublimation of emotions, character building and illumination of the spirit within.
The Foundation is a scientific and industrial research organisation, recognised by the Government of India, Ministry of Science and Technology, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi.
Subsequently the Foundation established inthe year 1988, a full fledged Department of Jainology in the Madras University having post graduate and research courses upto Ph. D. level.
The Foundation has published several valued publications in Tamil, Hindi and Gujarati. These have been well received by students, teachers and scholars alike.
In keeping with this trend the Foundation has now joined hands with Shri Gujarati Swetamber Sthanakwasi Jain Associaiton, Chennai, to bring forth the English version of the now famous and much sought after Gujarati and Hindi publication * 3TH ' - as ‘I am the Soul.
· The Foundation is confident that this endeavour will lead to the establishment of a much needed Indological publishing house of the Jain community in South India. Efforts have already begun on the possibilities of bringing out the translation of 'j ' in several South Indian languages, to benefit students and research scholars in Jainology.
