JAINA CONVENTION 2017
There are so many things...written in the Jain texts, which can not be well interpreted with the present knowledge of science. Jainism gives direction for new research in the field of energy, karmic bonds, velocity, psychology, food, health etc . Let us concentrate our research on these and give the world the best of our religion..
A few examples... Shri.. Jagdishchandra Bose rediscovered about life in plantation. Jain religion has depicted life not only in plant kingdom but also talked about living beings in the air, earth, water, fire. Let us do research on it, & give the world direction. Let us go further, Jain Darshan has offered karmic theory - which perhaps has some relation to genetic coding logically. In fact, Karmic coding is more precise & perfectly logical, while genetic coding is yet not.
Similarly, Jain Syadvada & Anekantvada are more universal & have no loopholes, as compared to the famous theory of relativity, which scientists are now finding deficient. Simple Tithivigyan has been found on great observations of effects of Lunar & Solar Cycles on change of PH & total water content of human body , This is ultimately reflected in certain health issues of human body & hence avoiding certain alkaline food on those days should be a good & healthy practice. In fact, every single rule in Jain Darshan has a science behind it, as lord Mahavir was Omniscient. Our Modern science can have and has limitations & therefore we have to change our views every now and then. While Jain Darshan is shaswat & does not need to change. Whatever mistakes we perceive in the religious texts, could be interpretation errors or perhaps science may evolve for our understanding of those facts ,or may be there were errors in translation or some texts are missing. We have to keep faith in our religion., Yes, absolute faith & devotion. A woshiping temper, rather than egoistic ruthless attitude. We should thus first develop Samyak Darshan, to understand our great religion.
Let us all relearn what has been given to us an invaluable inheritance. Let us be proud of it. But more than that, let us do further research and apply it for human and animal welfare, world peace. However, our motto should be constant awareness and self-liberation.
